Stemming from the French and Indian War, the British government enacted and attempted to enforce new political and economic policies in the colonies. These policies triggered varied colonial responses, including protests and dissent. Students will investigate the Albany Congress and the Albany Plan of Union as a plan for colonial unification, and the influence of Haudenosaunee ideas in their development. Students will examine actions taken by the British, including the Proclamation of 1763, the Quartering Act, the Stamp Act, the Tea Act, and the Coercive Acts, and colonial responses to those actions. Students will compare British and colonial patriot portrayals of the Boston Massacre, using historical evidence. Students will compare the proportions of loyalists and patriots in different regions of the New York colony. Students will examine the events at Lexington and Concord as the triggering events for the Revolutionary War.
Conflicts between France and Great Britain in the 17th and 18th centuries in North America altered the relationship between the colonies and Great Britain. Students will locate battles fought between France and Great Britain during the 17th and 18th centuries, and how this led to the importance of British troops in the area of New York. Students will examine the changing economic relationship between the colonies and Great Britain, including mercantilism and the practice of salutary neglect. Students will identify the issues stemming from the Zenger Trial that affected the development of individual rights in colonial America.
