Colonization (COL)1607 to 1763 (156 Years)
England planted the Original 13 Coloniesalong the Atlantic Coast of North America.
1st Colony 1607 VA (Jamestown)
2nd Colony 1620 MA (Plymouth Rock)
12th Colony 1682 PA (Philadelphia)
13th Colony 1733 GA (Savannah)
9
Colonization (COL)1607 to 1763 (156 Years)
The Original 13 Colonies were squeezed between the Atlantic Ocean
and the Appalachian Mountains.
Needing room to grow, the Colonists crossed the Appalachian Mountains and tried to take land that was claimed by the French and the Indians
in the Ohio River Valley.
This caused the French and Indian War.
10
Colonization (COL)1607 to 1763 (156 Years)
In 1754 Benjamin Franklin told the Colonists:“Join or Die”
(Albany Plan of Union)But the Colonies refused to give up their power
to a central government.
In 1754 George Washington served as a Colonelleading a regiment of Virginia militia
against the French and the Indians.He lost the fight.
11
Colonization (COL)1607 to 1763 (156 Years)
In 1756 the King of England declared war on France and sent more troops to America to defend the Colonists
from the French and the Indians.
The King ran up a huge debt defending the Colonists. This debt led to the Revolution.
The Treaty of Paris of 1763 marked the end of the French and Indian War
and the end of the Colonization Era.

Revolution (REV)1763 to 1783 (20 Years)
In 1763 the King of England, King George III, issued the Proclamation of 1763in which he told the colonists:
“Do not cross the Appalachian Mountains!”
This angered the colonists. (Why?)
They thought that winning the French and Indian Warwould give them access to the Ohio River Valley.
15
Revolution (REV)1763 to 1783 (20 Years)
In 1764 King George III decided that the Colonistsshould help pay off the debt that England had incurred
in defending the Colonies from the French and the Indians,so he began raising their taxes.
Acts of Parliament that taxed the Colonies:
Sugar Act (1764) Stamp Act (1765) Declaratory Act (1766) Townshend Acts (1767) Tea Act (1773) Coercive Acts (1774)
Etc, Etc, Etc . . . 16
Revolution (REV)1763 to 1783 (20 Years)
Parliament passed Acts that raised their taxes,but Colonists did not get to elect Members of Parliament.
This led to the battle-cry:
“No Taxation without Representation!”
The King could have avoided Revolutionby lowering taxes or by allowing the Colonists
to elect Members of Parliament.He did neither.
17
Revolution (REV)1763 to 1783 (20 Years)
In 1776 the Colonies declared their independence.
In 1777 the Colonies wrote our 1st constitution:Articles of Confederation (1777/1781)
In 1781 Washington defeated Cornwallis at Yorktown, VA.
In 1783 the British signed the Treaty of Paris of 1783acknowledging that the Colonies were
“Free and Independent States.”

Building a Nation (BaN)1783 to 1803 (20 Years)
Now that the Colonies were“Free and Independent States”
they had to figure out how to be a“Nation.”
In 1777 they had written our 1st constitution:Articles of Confederation (1777/1781)
But the Articles created a central governmentthat was too weak.
21
Building a Nation (BaN)1783 to 1803 (20 Years)
In 1787 they wrote the US Constitution (USC),which was ratified in 1788,
creating a much stronger central government.
In 1789 George Washington became our 1st President.
Also in 1789 they made 10 changes to the USC.
These first ten changes (aka amendments), which were ratified in 1791, are called the Bill of Rights.
22
Building a Nation (BaN)1783 to 1803 (20 Years)
Our 1st President, George Washington (VA),served for 8 years (1789 to 1797).
Our 2nd President, John Adams (MA),served for 4 years (1797 to 1801).
Our 3rd President, Thomas Jefferson (VA),served for 8 years (1801 to 1809).

25
Growth and Reform (GnR)1803 to 1861 (58 Years)
In just 50 years – from 1803 to 1853 – the United States expanded “from sea to shining sea”
thereby fulfilling our “Manifest Destiny.”
The growth began in 1803 when President Thomas Jefferson (#3)
obtained the Louisiana Purchase from France,doubling the size of the country, and moving our western border
from the Mississippi River to the Rocky Mountains.
26
Growth and Reform (GnR)1803 to 1861 (58 Years)
In just 50 years – from 1803 to 1853 – the United States expanded “from sea to shining sea”
thereby fulfilling our “Manifest Destiny.”
The growth was completed in 1853 when President Franklin Pierce (#14)
obtained the Gadsden Purchase from Mexico,completing the contiguous continental United States.
“Purchase to Purchase = 50 Years”
27
Growth and Reform (GnR)1803 to 1861 (58 Years)
This growth raised 2 questions:
Would there be slavery in the new territories?Who would make that decision?
The people in each State and Territory?OR
The Federal Government in Washington, DC?
This is referred to as the “States’ Rights” issue.
28
Growth and Reform (GnR)1803 to 1861 (58 Years)
This growth also triggered 4 reform movements:
Movement #1 = AbolitionEnd Slavery
Movement #2 = SuffrageEqual Rights for Women (ESP: The right to vote!)
29
Growth and Reform (GnR)1803 to 1861 (58 Years)

It now – in 1863 – became a war to end slavery.
35

Reconstruction (REC)1865 to 1877 (12 Years)
It took 4 years of Civil War to tear the country apart.
It took 12 years of Reconstruction to sew it back together.
re = againconstruct = to build
reconstruct = to build again
Reconstruction:Rebuilding the nation that had been torn apart by Civil War.
40
Reconstruction (REC)1865 to 1877 (12 Years)
One of the main issues during Reconstructionwas the question of how to deal with the South:
Should the South be punished for having caused the war?OR
Should the North “forgive and forget”?
President Andrew Johnson (#17)said “forgive and forget” . . .
but the Radical Republicans in Congress disagreed.
41
Reconstruction (REC)1865 to 1877 (12 Years)
The other main issue during Reconstructionwas the question of how to deal with the former slaves:
13th Amendment (1865)Ended Slavery
14th Amendment (1868)Defined the Rights of Citizenship
15 Amendment (1870)Guaranteed the Right to Vote to ALL MEN 42
Reconstruction (REC)1865 to 1877 (12 Years)
President Ulysses S. Grant (#18)sent Federal troops to the South
to suppress the terrorist organization known as the Ku Klux Klan (KKK).
It worked! The KKK was stopped, for a while . . .
In 1877 President Rutherford B. Hayes (#19)removed the last of the Federal troops from the south,
marking the end of Reconstruction.
