Declaration of Independence
Common Sense
1776
Series of articles written by Thomas Paine to encourage passion for independence among colonists.
Common Sense educated the colonial public of Britain's mistreatment of the colonies through their policies. As a result, a lot of the colonists began to support the patriots in the revolution. The majority of colonists now see British as unjust rulers!
Second Continental Congress 1775
The Second Continental Congress established a continental army, elected George Washington as commander, and signed the Declaration of Independence.
It was similar to the First Continental Congress as they were both focused on their grievances with Britain. Despite this, the First was different in that it focused on the poor policies, and the Second focused on the future for the colonies. The colonists were preparing for the revolutionary war by setting up the Declaration of Independence and the continental army.
The Tea Act influenced the Boston Tea Party, where patriots threw crates of tea into the sea. The British gained more wealth from the Tea Act, however, the revolutionary events following were sub-optimal for British rule in the colonies.

The British and Natives had conflicting opinions about owning land. The Native Americans did not view land as something you could own, whearas the British were the EXACT opposite. These conflicting opinions resulted in British encroachment on Native American territories, kickstarting the Pontiac Rebellion. One cause of Pontiac's Rebellion is the Proclamation Line. The crown was not happy to have to bail out the colonists in war.
The Pontiac's Rebellion was a conflict between the Native Americans (Iroquois) and the British military. The British military won the war quickly.

Pontiac's Rebellion
First Continental Congress
1774
The First Continental Congress was a discussion among patriot leaders focused around the Intolerable Acts of the British.
This is a continuity in the road to independence, the First Continental Congress followed the precedents of self-governance set years previous by the Albany Plan. This also reinforces their policies and encourages the Second Continental Congress. The British did not like that the colonists had grievances to their rule and the Parliament felt a threat to their power.
Albany Plan 1754
A meeting between the colonists to try to end virtual representation and earn direct representation in Parliament
The colonists changed as they formed a sense of self government. The Albany Plan set the foundation for future continental congresses.The colonists failed in earning direct representation; however, in doing so they realized that they can form a sense of self government, giving hope for the colonies.

The Intolerable Acts were a series of taxes placed on the colonies and unjust behavior by the British.
