The Continental Congress was a convention of delegates from the Thirteen Colonies which became the governing body of U.S. during the American Revolution. Adams was an influential member of the congress and argued in favor of permanent separation from Britain. In 1775, he nominated George Washington to serve as commander of the Continental Army in the American Revolutionary War.

Carroll died in 1832 when he was 95 years old.

Nine of the signers of the Declaration died before the American Revolution ended in 1783.

In the summer of 1776, when the Declaration was signed, the population of the nation is estimated to have been about 2.5 million. (Today the population of the U.S. is more than 300 million.)

Robert Livingston, one of the members of the committee who wrote the Declaration of Independence, never signed it. He believed that it was too soon to declare independence and therefore refused to sign.

When writing the first draft of the Declaration, Jefferson primarily drew upon two sources: his own draft of a preamble to the Virginia Constitution and George Mason’s draft of Virginia’s Declaration of Rights.]]> 2019-01-30 07:26:24 UTC https://padlet.com/gvazquez204375/lzr8fi5akwiu/wish/325724396 13 Original Colonies gvazquez204375 https://padlet.com/gvazquez204375/lzr8fi5akwiu/wish/325726267 2019-01-30 07:35:29 UTC https://padlet.com/gvazquez204375/lzr8fi5akwiu/wish/325726267 3 types of Colonies gvazquez204375 https://padlet.com/gvazquez204375/lzr8fi5akwiu/wish/325726530 Royal Colonies- established through a written agreement between the King and the colony, it had a governor which was appointed by a King- Georgia, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia, New Jersey, New York.

Many colonists began to protest against these new British taxes and laws. A group called the Sons of Liberty formed in 1765 in Boston and soon spread throughout the colonies. During one protest in Boston, a fight broke out and several colonists were shot and killed. This incident became known as the Boston Massacre. 

In 1773, the British imposed a new tax on tea. Several patriots in Boston protested this act by boarding ships in Boston harbor and dumping their tea into the water. This protest became known as the Boston Tea Party. ]]> 2019-01-30 07:42:48 UTC https://padlet.com/gvazquez204375/lzr8fi5akwiu/wish/325727637 4 gvazquez204375 https://padlet.com/gvazquez204375/lzr8fi5akwiu/wish/325727803 Taxes, Laws, and More Taxes 

Prior to 1764, the British government had pretty much left the colonists alone to govern themselves. In 1764, they began to impose new laws and taxes. They implemented a number of laws including the Sugar Act, Currency Act, Quartering Act, and the Stamp Act. 

The colonists were not happy with the new taxes. They said they should not have to pay British taxes because they had no representatives in the British Parliament. Their motto became "No Taxation Without Representation." ]]> 2019-01-30 07:43:35 UTC https://padlet.com/gvazquez204375/lzr8fi5akwiu/wish/325727803 3 gvazquez204375 https://padlet.com/gvazquez204375/lzr8fi5akwiu/wish/325727920 Boston Blockade 

One of the Intolerable Acts was the Boston Port Act which shut down the port of Boston for trade. British ships blockaded Boston Harbor, punishing everyone who lived in Boston, both patriots and loyalists. This angered not only people in Boston, but also people in other colonies who were afraid the British would do the same thing to them. ]]> 2019-01-30 07:44:09 UTC https://padlet.com/gvazquez204375/lzr8fi5akwiu/wish/325727920 2 gvazquez204375 https://padlet.com/gvazquez204375/lzr8fi5akwiu/wish/325727957 Growing Unity Among the Colonies 

The increased laws punishing the colonies did little to control the colonies as the British had hoped, but actually had the opposite effect. The laws caused the colonies to become more united against the British. Many colonies sent supplies to help Boston during the blockade. Also, more and more colonists throughout the Americas joined up with the Sons of Liberty. ]]> 2019-01-30 07:44:20 UTC https://padlet.com/gvazquez204375/lzr8fi5akwiu/wish/325727957 5 Reasons for the Revolutionary War gvazquez204375 https://padlet.com/gvazquez204375/lzr8fi5akwiu/wish/325728176
French and Indian War

The French and Indian War look place between the American colonies and New France. Both sides allied with various Native American Tribes. This war lasted from 1754 to 1763. British troops not only helped the colonists to fight the war, but were stationed in the colonies for protection after the war. These troops weren't free and Britain needed money to pay for the troops. The British Parliament decided to tax the American colonies to help pay for the troops. ]]> 2019-01-30 07:45:26 UTC https://padlet.com/gvazquez204375/lzr8fi5akwiu/wish/325728176 9 gvazquez204375 https://padlet.com/gvazquez204375/lzr8fi5akwiu/wish/325729232 I think that is is just saying that after all that has been said in the Declaration we shall all be loyal and live by the law of the land.]]> 2019-01-30 07:49:50 UTC https://padlet.com/gvazquez204375/lzr8fi5akwiu/wish/325729232
