Agenda:
THE DYNAMICS OF REBELLION 1765-1770
THE DYNAMICS OF REBELLION 1765-1770
1. Formal Protests and the Politics of the Crowd (POL)
*The Stamp Act Congress
J30 / A: The Stamp Act affected a greater number of colonists than the Sugar Act, and following on the heels of the Sugar Act, it led more colonists to question their relationship with Parliament. If the decisions made by Parliament affected a great many colonists through both taxes and laws, they demanded representation in their governing body.
*Crowd Actions (Sons of Liberty)
tip: Explain what "burning an effigy" means. Why was this significant?
*The Motives of the Crowd
2. Ideological Roots of Resistance - English Common Law? (POL)
tip: The creation and distribution of pamphlets were a significant part of American ideological and political action during the Revolution.
3. Another Kind of Freedom (NAT)
4. Parliament and Patriots Square Off Again (POL)
*Declaratory Act of 1766, Townshend Act
tip: The Declaratory Act lacked any force of law and was ineffective in controlling the behavior of American colonists. It thus revealed the weakness of British colonial policy.
Causation: Use the passage about Townshend to demonstrate the skill of historical causation. Point out that because Townshend was unsympathetic to America, he imposed more stringent laws to regulate trade with the colonies, thereby setting off increased conflict between Britain and its colonies.
What did Townshend not understand about the cultural context of taxation in America?
* A Second Boycott and the Daughters of Liberty (WXT, CUL, NAT)
non importation movement
* Troops to Boston / analyze Map 5.3
6. The Problem of the West (GEO)
*Why did the colonists resent the Proclamation of 1763?
7. Parliament Wavers (POL)
*Boston Massacre - Patriot Propaganda (POL)
*Sovereignty Debated
J31 / A: Benjamin Franklin declared that before 1763, Americans had paid little attention to the question of Parliament's "right to lay taxes and duties" in the colonies because the "right to lay internal taxes was never supposed to be in Parliament, as we are not represented there." By 1770, Franklin recognized that representation was central to the imperial debate because of the succession of internal taxes levied by Parliament.
