Cause 1
While the British are colonizing the
East Coast, France is claiming land
west of the Appalachian Mountains

Valley area for fur trade and farmland,
and in the early 1750’s the British
began to move into French territory

French & Native Americans
become alarmed and destroy
several British trading posts
and begin to build forts for
protection

that French troops leave
the area

Analyzing the Declaration of Independence

The Declaration of
Independence
Matt Damon reads the Declaration:
http://www.history.com/topics/americanrevolution/videos#the-people-speak-2
The Real Declaration
http://www.history.com/topics/americanrevolution/videos#declaration-of-independence
Analyzing the Declaration of
Independence
The Declaration of Independence was written with
Four Principles of Government in mind:
Principle 1: All people are created equal
Principle 2: All people have basic rights
that cannot be taken away
Analyzing the Declaration of
Independence
Principle 3: The government gets its power to
make decisions and protect rights from the
people.
Principle 4: When the government does not
protect the rights of the people, the people
have the right to change or remove the
government.
Excerpt 1
When in the Course of human events it
becomes necessary for one people to
dissolve the political bands which have
connected them with another…a decent
respect to the opinions of mankind
requires that they should declare the
causes which impel them to the
separation.
Excerpt 2
We hold these truths to be selfevident, 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.
Excerpt 3
That to secure these rights,
Governments are instituted
among Men, deriving their
just powers from the consent
of the governed.
Excerpt 4
That whenever any Form of
Government becomes
destructive of these ends, it is
the Right of the People to alter
or abolish it, and to institute a
new Government.
Excerpt 5
The history of the present King of
Great Britain is a history of
repeated injuries and
usurpations, all having in direct
object the establishment of an
absolute Tyranny over these
States.
Excerpt 6
In every stage of these Oppressions We
have Petitioned for Redress in the
most humble terms: Our repeated
Petitions have been answered only by
repeated injury. A Prince whose
character is thus marked by every act
which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to
be the ruler.
Excerpt 7
These United Colonies are, and of
Right ought to be Free and
Independent States; that they are
Absolved from all Allegiance to the
British Crown, and that all political
connection between them and the
State of Great Britain, is and ought
to be totally dissolved.
