  1. I can…Identify the Outcomes of the Revolutionary War

  2. Costs of the War • 25,000 Americans died, 1,400 missing, over 8,200 missing • 10,000 British died • Soldiers leave with no $$, get paid in land which many sold for $ for food & basics • Nation in debt $27 million • Thousands of Loyalists lose property • 60,000-100,000 Loyalists leave the U.S., many settle in Canada & bring English traditions • Bitter memories- traitor Benedict Arnold

  3. Terms of the Treaty of Paris • The U.S. is independent! • Boundaries of the U.S. are Mississippi River on the West, Canada on the North, Spanish Florida to the South • U.S. gains fishing rights off Canada, near Newfoundland & Nova Scotia • British would return enslaved persons they captured • Congress would recommend seized Loyalist property to be returned • The Treaty of Paris led to boundary disputes with Spain who controlled both banks of the Mississippi & 100 miles north of the Gulf of Mexico & British refuse to leave outposts in the Great Lakes region

  4. Outcomes for Native Americans, Slaves, & Freedmen • British hand over Native American land to the Americans without consulting them, Chief Joseph Brant of the Mohawk horrified by the betrayal! “When I joined the English in the beginning of the war, it was purely on account of my forefathers’ engagements with the King. I always looked upon these engagements, or covenants between the King and the Indian nation, as a sacred thing.” -Joseph Brant, 1783

  5. Outcomes for Native Americans, Slaves, & Freedmen • Slavery begins to become outlawed or slaves gradually emancipated in the North • Elizabeth Freeman sued for her freedom in Massachusetts court and wins, as do others! • Freed A-As form own institutions: Richard Allen helped start Free African Society, also founded the African Methodist Episcopal Church, the 1st A-A church in the U.S. • Slavery continues in the South “I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just; that his justice cannot sleep forever.” -Thomas Jefferson

  6. New State & National Governments • In 116 the Continental congress advised the colonies to establish new governments and by 1777, nearly all had adopted written constitutions • The new state constitutions contained individual rights and liberties, such as freedom of press & religion, some prohibit slavery and stat-supported religion, Georgia established public schools • By 1777, plan of government, The Articles of Confederation, was created

  7. Religion • Madison and Jefferson call for a “separation of church and state” (It is NOT in our Constitution!) • 1777 Thomas Jefferson proposed his Virginia Statute for Religious Freedom, claimed people have “natural rights,” opposed tax supported churches, against laws prohibiting Jews or Catholics from holding public office • Black churches created

  8. Uniting the States • Colonies turn into states • Americans see the states must work together • Challenges of how to remain united as a nation, yet independent states, despite regional and religious differences
