This led to unrest, especially, in Boston, so the British sent troops (soldiers) to help the situation- But it only made it worse. People didn’t like British soldiers on the streets and this led to the Boston Massacre- The Boston Tea Party in 1773 was a key event too. Now, this wasn’t a fun tea party where people had tea and biscuits. Instead, a group called Sons of Liberty protested a new tea tax by dumping tea from three ships into Boston Harbor.- Tensions kept growing and in 1775 the British planned to capture two colonial leaders. However, American spies got wind of this (which means, they learned about this), and 77 militiamen met British forces and it was here where the American Revolutionary War began.- Not everyone wanted independence but the Continental Congress decided to vote for this and Thomas Jefferson was the principal author of the Declaration of Independence- The second sentence is the most famous"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.:Self-evident = obvious - doesn’t need to be explainedAll men are created equal = heavily influenced by French Philosophers such as Voltaire - Thomas Paine from England had a big influence here tooEndowed by their creator = given by GodUnalienable rights = unable to be taken awayLife, liberty, and the pursuit of happinessAmerican won the war (with help from the French and the Spanish) and became an independent nation.By a remarkable coincidence, Thomas Jefferson and John Adams, the only two signatories of the Declaration of Independence later to serve as presidents of the United States, both died on the same day: July 4, 1826, which was the 50th anniversary of the Declaration———Celebrations:National Holiday in the U.S.- Thanksgiving is the other big holiday. That is a formal family get-together with a sit-down meal of Turkey, Potatoes, Vegetables etc. (listen to the podcast on that)- Fourth of July is more informal- Barbecues - Friends - Summer - outside parties - Bring something for the grill and a side or two- hot dogs and burgers- Apple pies- Corn on the cob- Beer- Clothing - Red, white, and blue - American flags everywhere- Water slides if weather permits- Fireworks - downtown when dark
