The Struggle for Freedom
1754 - 1783
- ally: a nation that joins with other nations for the same cause.
- cede: to surrender something.
Conflict between Great Britain and France
By the mid-1700s, the British were attempting to settle.
Firsties! The Native Americans! (then the French)
The French were trading partners with Native Americans, especially the Algonquin, the Iroquois, and the Huron peoples.
They headed animal furs, starting in their settlement in Quebec (Canada), and canoeing across the Great Lakes, down the Ohio River, to the Mississippi River.
But...
the French needed the British to limit their settlements to land along the Atlantic Coast.
Then they could control the water routes from the Atlantic Ocean ---> St. Lawrence Seaway --->The Great Lakes ---> Ohio River ---> Mississippi River
All along this route, the French set up forts and trading posts.
They traded fairly with the natives, and made a lot of money.
but there were not that much French (65,000) compared to British (1,000,000).
The French and Indian War
The British began to claim land that the French had named New France.
The conflict / fight / war began in 1754 in the Ohio River Valley
The French and the Indians were allies
British fighting style: marching in large groups, wearing bright red coats.
French flag, shooting from hiding places.
(tactics that were learned from the natives)
British won!!

Trial by jury
Jury: a group of your peers who decide if you are innocent or guilty in a trial
People in England had this right; colonists did not
Economic Rights
England had established the colonies in North America to make England rich
English rulers believed in mercantilism, where a nation becomes stronger by building up its gold supply and increasing trade
English rulers regulated (controlled, through laws) trade in the colonies
They told the colonists what goods they could import and export
Colonies exported raw materials (cotton, fur, lumber) to England, who then made finished products which they could sell for high prices
The British passed laws called the Navigation Acts to regulate trade
Only English ships could transport goods to and from the colonies
Ships from other countries had to stop in England and pay taxesbefore going to the colonies
This meant colonists had to pay more money for goods from other countries

New Ideas in the Colonies
Great Awakening is that ministers tried to awaken a feeling of religion in colonists.
Eight of the 13 colonies were ruled by governors who were chosen by the king of England. These men could throw out lawmakers who did not follow English laws. Colonists also didn't have the right to trial by jury.
England establish colonies to make England rich.
Navigation Acts regulates that ships that are not from England or colonies had to stop in England and pay taxes before going to colonies.
1. The great awakening awakened the feeling of religion in colonists.
2. The England regulates the trade in the colonies because English wanted to use the raw materials from colonies to make finished products which they sold for high prices.
3. A jury is the mean to decide whether a person on trial is guilty or innocent. Without a jury, colonists could be judged as guilty easily for anything by English without having any power or rights to fight against.
4. Dear Mr. George,
It's been a long time that we, the colonists, are working as much as we can to make profits for our country. But it doesn't mean that we could be constantly doing this without stopping like a machine. Many of our people are suffering from poor life. Could you let us make our own rules about trades? That way, we can our improve our life quality a little bit, therefore, we have more strength and excitement to work harder.

growth of colonial society
rowth of Colonial Society, 1630 - 1760
Economies of the Colonies Section One
Economy - the ways goods, wealth, and services are created and used
Export - to send goods to another region or country
Frontier - a newly settled or lightly settled area just outside an area of older settlements
Economy of the New England Colonies
-Short growing season and rocky soil meant not that many crops
-Forests and nearby Atlantic Ocean gave them lumber, fishing, ad shipbuilding.
-Boston was a major port, shipping whale oil, animals hides, and lumber to England.
Economy of the Middle Colonies
-Rich farmland, warmer climate meant larger farms, growing wheat and rye.
-These were the Bread Colonies or Breadbasket Colonies.
-Flour was a huge export.
-Farm workers were hired by landowners, with slaves occasionally.
Two Economies of the Southern Colonies
Large plantations in the east and small farms in the west
Plantation: a large farm or estate, especially in a tropical or semitropical country, on which cotton, tobacco, coffee, sugar cane, or similar cash crops are cultivated.
Small farms located further west, on the frontier
The work was done by families and small numbers of hired workers, not by slaves.
Triangular Trade (a less shameful way of describing the business of slavery)
Three separate voyages across the Atlantic Ocean
-Ships carry run, cloth, iron goods from colonies to West Africa in exchange for slaves.
-Enslaved Africans and gold are shipped for sale in the West Indies.
-Slaves, molasses, sugar are sold in the colonies.
The Growth of Towns and Cities
Barter - to trade a product or service for another product or service
Import - an item brought into a region or country from another region or country.
Common - an open area shared by all the villagers.
Settlements become towns because farmers often traded fruits, vegetables, meat, eggs, quilts, baskets, and other things with townspeople.
This kind of trading is called bartering.
England did not allow the colonies to print or coin their own money.
They also did not allow the colonists to bring English money to America.
What could you find in a colonial town?
At least one church
A general store which sold a variety of items, including some imports.
Individual shops (run by barrel makers or shoemakers, for example)
A gristmill (where gain was ground into flour and meal)
A sawmill (where logs were cut into lumber)
A public meetinghouse
A school

Cubs Win
Today, Mr. Schick is back from Chicago. He showed us the great pictures he took in Chicago. I saw a mass of people and they all wore blue and white to support Cubs. Mr. Schick also showed us his family. I learned that the coach of the cups is Joe Maddon. He looks so alike to Mr. Schick that people just recognized him as Joe Maddon on the street. That's so interesting. Today night is another game for Cubs, Mr. Schick's favorite team. I hope they can win! Good Luck Cups!
