Chapter 5: The Road to the Revolution

America. This means I can describe the early defeat of the British by the French and I can
explain how the British gained victory, and explain the results of the French and Indian War.

means I can describe how the colonists responded to the British tax laws and the events that
took place during the Boston Massacre.

colonists protested the Intolerable Acts and describe the events of April 19, 1775, at
Lexington and Concord.

differences between Patriots and Loyalists, the Olive Branch petition and explain why it
