Charles Carroll played a big part in the Deceleration of Independence, being the only catholic to sign. Being born in a wealthy family, Carroll became a member of the Continental Congress as the American Revolution loomed(Mrs.Tom).  Although Carroll missed the vote for independence he was able to sign the Declaration.  He retired from the positions of Maryland State Senate and U.S Senate, in 1800 to have a more private life.  “Before his death in 1832, he was the last signer of the Declaration of Independence.”(Mrs.Tom). Due to the fact Carroll was Catholic, he was unable to vote, participate in politics, or practice, even with years of knowledge following him. Despite being Catholic he son became very well known for writing anti-tax/tariff articles in the Maryland Gazette, under the name “Fist Citizen”(Mrs.Tom).  In 1774 Carroll was approached by Benjamin Franklin and Samuel Chase in the hopes that the would be able to gain the support of the Canadian government for their cause(Mr.Tom).  The three men carried out the mission, though they unfortunately failed. 2 years later Carroll was selected to the Continental Congress, while there he became an influential member for the Board f the War and also, a promoter for the armed resistance and ultimate serving of governmental ties with England(Mrs. Tom).

Many events led to the signing of the Declaration of Independence, one of them was how the British paid for the French and Indian War. Britain found themselves in a huge debt going forward. The British fought against the French and Native Americans to have a long hard fought battle but the British ended up defeating the French and Native Americans. The British took over the French’s land and gave Spain parts of New Orleans, the British made set rules and went on with being the dominant power force. Colonists came over to Britains land area and the British didn’t like people on their land without permission, so the British accused them of crimes they didn’t commit, which sent them back to England for a trial that was unfair against them. This soon caused the Revolutionary War and Charles Carroll and seven other brave men signed the Declaration of Independence. This document changed history forever.

Why the colonists Made the Declaration of Independence was the British unfair treatment. First the British won the French and Indian war then made the proclamation Line of 1763. This agreed the colonists because they felt they at least deserved some land because they helped fight too. Then the British started raising taxes on everything tea included. This angered the colonists even more. In revolt a group named the sons of liberty ( this group included Samuel Adams.) decided to dress up as Indians and raid a tea ship and pour hundreds of pounds of tea into the Atlantic Ocean. In 1774 the parliament responded by making laws that closed the Boston Harbor, Gave the British appointed Governor more power, and made laws allowing the British to accuse Americans of crimes they didn’t commit. The colonists would be sent back to England for a trial that would be unfair. All of this soon caused the revolutionary War and the war compelled the 7 brave men to sign the document that changed U.S. history.

There are many events that led to the Declaration of Independence, One of them was Britain said they were going to pay for the French and Indian war, Britain dug themselves into HUGE debt from this because this war went longer than they thought it was going to and the war and war in general is insanely expensive, so Britain taxed the colonies causing a divide between the colonies and Britain. After the French and Indian war the colonist wanted to move west into the Ohio river valley this caused conflict with the natives so Britain halted westward expansion. Then the Boston tea party and other altercations caused our founding fathers to take this risky step into making this country. Charles Carroll was the man alive to sign the Declaration of Independence.

The making of the Declaration of Independence was brought on by a chain of events that the British took part in. The colonies did not like the ways the British were doing things and they wanted to be free from their rules. Here are some of the events that led to the creation of this legendary document.

The British Parliament was taxing the colonies for stamps on playing cards, on newspapers, on documents, and even tea! These events were called the Stamp Act of 1765, The Townshend Acts of 1767, and The Tea Act of 1773. The Stamp Act was revoked in 1766 because of resisting colonists. The Townshend Act placed taxes on imported items, so in retaliation the colonists boycotted trade with Britian which hurt British economy.(Mrs.Tom) In the year 1770 taxes were lifted from everything but tea. This was done to get colonists to pay for British tea instead of smuggled tea. However the colonists retaliated by pouring "a lot" of tea into the harbor. This became known as the Boston Tea Party. (Mrs. Tom) After this the British responded by closing the port in Boston which gave the govenor of Massachussetts more power and British people returned to England to be trialed there. Americans called this the Intolerable Acts which led to the Declaration and our country's freedom.

Events leading to the Declaration. During the 10-year period prior to the adoption of the Declaration, American leaders repeatedly challenged the British Parliament's right to tax the colonies. Three efforts by Parliament to raise taxes provoked heated protest from the colonists. These efforts were the Stamp Act of 1765, the Townshend Acts of 1767, and the Tea Act of 1773.

The Stamp Act required colonists to pay for tax stamps placed on newspapers, playing cards, diplomas, and various legal documents. Colonial resistance forced Parliament to repeal the act in 1766. The Townshend Acts placed duties (taxes) on imported goods. The colonists reacted by boycotting British goods, which hurt British businesses. In 1770, Parliament removed the duties on all items except tea. The Tea Act made British tea cheaper than tea the colonists had been smuggling into the colonies. The British hoped the colonists would purchase the British tea at the lower price, and thereby acknowledge Britain's right to tax them. But the residents of Boston defied the act by dumping hundreds of pounds of British tea into Boston Harbor. This event became known as the Boston Tea Party.

In 1774, Parliament responded to the Boston Tea Party by adopting laws that closed the port of Boston and gave the British-appointed governor of Massachusetts more power. In addition, the laws allowed British officials accused of crimes against Americans to be returned to Britain for trial. Angry colonists referred to these laws as the Intolerable Acts or the Coercive Acts.

The Continental Congress. The Intolerable Acts alarmed the colonists. On Sept. 5, 1774, the First Continental Congress met in Philadelphia to plan common measures of resistance. All the colonies except Georgia sent representatives to the Congress. The delegates supported the view held by most colonists—that they could not be ruled by a Parliament in which they were not represented. The most Parliament could do, the delegates suggested, was pass laws regulating the trade of the British Empire. Most colonists still wanted to remain members of the empire, but they felt they owed allegiance only to the British Crown and not to Parliament. The delegates to the First Continental Congress hoped Britain's King George III and his ministers would free the colonies from the Intolerable Acts.

In 1775, most colonists still did not favor declaring themselves independent of the British Crown. Such a declaration would cut the last bond linking the colonies to Britain. The delegates to the Second Continental Congress, which assembled on May 10, 1775, continued to hope the king would help resolve the colonists' differences with Parliament. In July, the colonists sent a final petition to Britain declaring their loyalty to the king and asking him to address their complaints. But the king ignored their request and declared the colonies to be in rebellion.

Meanwhile, the Revolutionary War had begun in April 1775, when British troops clashed with colonial militia at Lexington, Massachusetts, and nearby Concord. In January 1776, the political writer Thomas Paine published Common Sense. This electrifying pamphlet attacked the concept of monarchy and made a powerful case for the independence of the American Colonies.

As the fighting intensified, hopes of reconciliation with Britain faded. On June 7, 1776, Richard Henry Lee of Virginia introduced a resolution to the Second Continental Congress stating that "these United Colonies are, and of right ought to be, free and independent States ..." After several days of debate, the Congress appointed a committee to draft a declaration of independence. The committee gave the task to Thomas Jefferson of Virginia, who completed the work in about two weeks. Two other members, Benjamin Franklin of Pennsylvania and John Adams of Massachusetts, made a few minor changes.

Adoption of the Declaration. On July 2, the Congress approved the Lee resolution. The delegates then began to debate Jefferson's draft. A few passages, including one condemning King George for encouraging the slave trade, were removed. Most other changes dealt with style. On July 4, the Congress adopted the final draft of the Declaration of Independence.

Declaration of Independence

The Declaration was signed by John Hancock as president of the Second Continental Congress and by Charles Thomson, the Congress's secretary. It was promptly printed and read to a large crowd in the State House yard on July 8. On July 19, the Congress ordered the Declaration to be engrossed (written in stylish script) on parchment. It also ordered that all its members sign the engrossed copy. Eventually, 56 members signed.

Info to use for YOU to write a paragraph.

Born into a wealthy family, Charles Carroll became a member of the Continental Congress as the American Revolution loomed. Carroll missed the vote on independence but signed the final draft of the Declaration on Independence, becoming the only Catholic to do so. He was a member of the Maryland state Senate and the U.S. Senate (concurrently), finally retiring to private life in 1800. Before his death in 1832, he was the last surviving signer of the Declaration of Independence.

Because he was a Catholic, Carroll was not allowed to participate in politics, practice law (despite years of study) or vote, but he became known in important circles in a roundabout way by writing various anti-tax/tariff tracts (essentially, early protestations against "taxation without representation") in the Maryland Gazette under the pseudonym "First Citizen."

The War

With the Revolution gearing up, in 1774 Carroll found himself approached by Benjamin Franklin and Samuel Chase to help gain the support of the Canadian government for their cause. Carried out by all three men, the eventual mission was not a success, but two years later Carroll was appointed to the Continental Congress, where he was an influential member of the Board of War and an early advocate for armed resistance and the ultimate severing of governmental ties with England. (He was nominated again in 1780 but decided not to accept the post.
