Analyzing the American Revolution: Beyond War to Social Consciousness

This exploration of the American Revolution, guided by John Adams' assertion that the Revolution was rooted in the minds and hearts of people before the military conflict began, seeks to deepen understanding of the social and ideological transformations that predated the war. Through collaborative document analysis, students will categorize evidence into thematic groups, construct thesis statements, and develop coherent body paragraphs highlighting the emotional and political shifts among colonists against British policies from 1763 to 1775.

  12. Example • TS: The attitude of the colonists toward British policies changed from political to emotional by the outbreak of the war in 1775. • Docs: A, C, D, E, G, H • Citation: It was one thing to philosophically protest the power of Parliament to tax the colonists directly or indirectly (Docs G & E), but when there was a loss of life (Doc A), the protests became more emotional. This emotion was evident in the circular letters that dealt with “no taxation without representation” (Doc C) and the reaction to the Boston Port Bill (Doc H).
