Colonies:
-Colonists did not have to win; only wear down the British
-Guerilla warfare
-Become an ally with one of Britain's enemies=France at Battle of Saratoga
British:
-Divide and Conquer
-Use loyalists
-Seize Property
-Break colonies in half by dividing North and South
-Blockade the ports to prevent trade with Colonies' allies

2. African Americans
-Supported whoever seemed likely to deliver freedom
-Northern slaves favored colonists who offered freedom for any slave who fought
-Southern Slaves normally supported Britain because were told they would be freed if they helped win the war for Britain

3. Battle of Saratoga
-Colonists won this battle
-Turning point of the war
-After the victory France recognized America as an independent republic
-France promised to pressure England into accepting American Independence
-England had to now worry about a possible invasion from France
-In 1778, England offered to remove all parliamentary legislation and vowed never to impose revenue taxes on the colonists again, but the Continental congress refused the offer
4. Women
-Supported husbands and sons in the militia
-Ran businesses and boycotted British goods
-Created propaganda

-Couldn't force states to give federal government money
-Congress was unable to create a favorable balance of trade
-Lack of hard currency made trade difficult
-Desire for cheap British goods hurt infant American Industries
-Many people believed they needed a stronger central government

2. Shays' Rebellion
-Proved to be the convincing event that led to the Constitutional Convention of 1787
-Daniel Shays led more than 1000 farmers who were burdened with personal debts caused by economic problems stemming from the states' revolutionary war debts
-They tried to seize a federal arsenal in Massachusetts
-In response to this rebellion George Washington supported the establishment of a stronger central government ]]> 2016-12-16 02:51:15 UTC https://padlet.com/jl2110/1nhggjh0363u/wish/143978918 jl2110 https://padlet.com/jl2110/1nhggjh0363u/wish/143978981 1. Bill of Rights

5. Electoral Vote
-ELECTORAL COLLEGE BASED ON POPULATION (based on representatives state has, all of house reps plus 2 senators)
-Part of the great compromise because the senate is equal rep whereas the electoral college is by population.
-both small and large states were happy

6. checks and balances
-each branch of gov can make sure they all have the same amount of power and no one is stepping out of line
-put in place bc people were afraid of tyranny]]> 2016-12-16 02:52:48 UTC https://padlet.com/jl2110/1nhggjh0363u/wish/143978981 jl2110 https://padlet.com/jl2110/1nhggjh0363u/wish/143979012 -Judicial Review

-Power should be in the hands of the wealthy
1. Financial programs
National Bank (BUS):
-Bank would be privately owned but federally chartered to regulate finance
-Madison and Jefferson opposed it because it favored the rich and its creation was not mentioned in the constitution
-Hamilton then backed up the creation of the bank with the Necessary and Proper Clause that gave Congress implied powers to interpret the Constitution. This elastic clause allowed Hamilton to make a successful loose construction argument
-Congress chartered the BUS in 1791

Funding and Assumption:
-Funding: Congress to redeem US certificates of debt at face value to prove foreign investors that US would repay its debts
-Assumption: Federal government would purchase states' debts to gain a better interest rate and create a national problem rather than individual state problems
-assumption accomplished after a deal was made that made Virginia the capital of the US

Gibbons vs Ogden?
-A case that arose from an attempt by New York State to grant a monopoly of steamboat operation between New York and New Jersey. Ogden was licensed to operate the ferry and argued that navigation commerce was a state regulated thing, but Gibbons had his own ferry business incensed by a statue enacted by congress. The court disagreed with Ogden claiming that Congress had as much power over commerce as navigation. This established a broad interpretation of the constitution.]]> 2016-12-16 03:02:58 UTC https://padlet.com/jl2110/1nhggjh0363u/wish/143979469 jl2110 https://padlet.com/jl2110/1nhggjh0363u/wish/143979475 -California Gold Rush
