Opening: Up 10 minutes:
In your journal describe these three events using what, why,
where and how.
French and Indian War
Boston Tea Party
Battle of Yorktown
Then select one as a turning point and describe how America
was before and after that event.
Example:
Saratoga:
The battle that stopped Britain from dividing Colonists in half. General Howe
underestimated Patriots and went to Philadelphia first. Continental Army
used guerilla warfare and took out officers. The win convinced France to help
the rebels.
America before:
Struggling to win every battle. Sent Ben Franklin to France to convince them
to help. Winning the war was not a guaranteed event.
America after:
With France on their side they had access to more soldiers , a navy , money
and volunteers. His made the win at Yorktown possible because the French
army surrounded Yorktown on land with Washington's troops and French
Navy stopped British from getting resources.
