Revolutionary War Readings & Checkpoints
Over the course of the unit, we will be going through different sections of the textbook in class. Whenever we start a reading, the questions will be due the next day and there will be a reading checkpoint made available after school for homework (unless there are other instructions). The Google Forms online correspond to a specific topic/lesson in the textbook.
The Move Towards Independence
Lexington and Concord marked the start of armed conflict between colonists and the British—the beginning of the American Revolution. As the fighting spread, many colonists came to believe that Parliament did not have the right to make any laws for the 13 colonies. After all, they argued, the colonies had their own elected legislatures. Many felt it was time for the colonies to become completely independent from Britain.
