LEARNING OBJECTIVE: Explain the context in which America gained independence and developed a sense of national identity.
By 1763, the British Empire was vast and contained colonies all over the world. This overextension of British territorial control
created problems for Great Britain’s management of their colonies in North America, namely the 13 colonies. At the end of the Seven
Years’ War, or French and Indian War (1754-1763), the nature of the relationship between Britain and the colonies would change.
Britain would soon impose numerous laws on the colonies, particularly new taxes that the colonists would resent. Various forms of
colonial protests would soon follow that led to the colonies declaring independence from the mother country. The Revolutionary War
began in 1775. The British military was the best in the world; however, the colonies were able to defeat Britain for several reasons
and earn their newfound freedom. First, the Brits were physically far and preoccupied with other challenges.
Second, the Americans had superior defense tactics and influential leaders like George Washington. Once independent, the colonial
task was not over. The new country now had to create a permanent, stable government. They did not want to duplicate a monarchy
with a tyrannical king. There was a great debate in forming a Constitution between the federalists and the anti federalists. How
much power should the federal government have? After the agreement to install the Bill of Rights, the Constitution was completed
by 1789 and George Washington was chosen unanimously as the first President. The 1790s would witness numerous domestic and
foreign policy challenges to the young republic during the Washington and John Adams terms and test the stability of the new
government of the United States. However, the country would survive its infancy and look to expand into a bigger country by 1800.

“It is inseparably essential to the freedom of a People, and the
undoubted Right of Englishmen, that no taxes be imposed on
them, but with their own Consent, given personally, or by their
representatives. .... Tat it is the indispensable duty of these
colonies, to the best of sovereigns ...... to procure the repeal of the
act for granting and applying certain stamp duties, of all clauses
of any other acts of Parliament ....... for the restriction of American
commerce.”
Resolutions of the Stamp Act Congress, 1765

(A) accepted Parliament’s authority generally but not for direct taxation

QUESTIONS TO ASK
WHAT YOU SHOULD DO
Continuity and Change Over Time.
Discussions of cause and effect focus on change, but
both change and continuity are important to historians.
Even in moments of tremendous change, such as the
American Civil War, for most people who lived through
it, attitudes concerning the family and gender roles
remained the same.
Some of the most interesting questions that histo rians
investigate ask why, at the same moment in history,
did some things change while others did not.
Pick one of the following questions to answer below:
1. Explain the extent to which the ideas that inspired the
revolution changed society while maintaining much of British
culture. For example, people examined women’s role in society
more closely while they continued to follow traditional British
religious practices.
2. Explain how the independence efforts supported efforts to
protect individual freedoms while still continuing to limit some
rights. For example, view how the Bill of Rights protected
individuals while at the same time the government continued to
limit the right to vote.
Describe patterns of continuity
and/or change over time.
Explain patterns of continuity and/or
change over time. Identify turning
points that caused major change.
➔ What can explain why some things have
changed and others have not?
Explain the relative historical significance of
specific historical developments in relation to
a larger pattern of continuity and/or change.
➔ How are continuity and change
represented in different types of
sources? What might be the reasons
behind different depictions of CCOT?
OKAY, you read all this… if you remember these two steps you will have it down!
➔ Described historical continuity AND change over time?
➔ Explained the reasons for historical continuity AND change over time.

witness numerous domestic and foreign policy challenges to the young republic during the
Washington and John Adams terms and test the stability of the new government of the
United States. However, the country would survive its infancy and look to expand into a
bigger country by 1800.
When answering a “to what extent” question you must always EVALUATE
(judge the significance, value of a subject, event, or object). To do this you will
used qualifier words like major/minor, most/few, positive/negative, short/long
term, greatly/mildly similar or different.
ANSWER:
➔ What has caused changed within a time period?
➔ What has remained the same within a specific time
period?
This is a helpful organizational chart when trying
to create a thesis statement or write an essay.
