Classwork/Homework:
In July 1776, after over a year of fighting, the colonies made a bold decision. They declared independence from Britain, saying they no longer wanted to be British subjects. This document called the Declaration of Independence, was written by Thomas Jefferson and stated that 'all men are created equal' with the right to 'life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Why It Matters: The Declaration of Independence was a turning point because it united the colonies around the idea of forming a new, free country. It also sent a message to the rest of the world that the colonies were serious about becoming independent.
The American Revolution began in April 1775 with the Battles of Lexington and Concord, near Boston, Massachusetts. British soldiers were sent to capture colonial weapons and leaders, but the colonists, known as 'Minutemen' because they were ready to fight at a moment's notice, resisted. This led to the first shots of the war, famously called 'the shot heard 'round the world.' Why It Matters: This battle marked the official start of the war between Britain and the colonies. It showed that the colonists were willing to fight for their rights and independence.
The war officially ended with the signing of the Treaty of Paris in 1783. In this agreement, Britain recognized the independence of the United States. The boundaries of the new country stretched from the Atlantic Ocean to the Mississippi River, giving the United States a vast amount of land. Why It Matters: This marked the birth of the United States as an independent nation. The geography of the new country was much larger than the original 13 colonies, allowing it to expand westward over time.
