APUSH Chapter 7 Discussion Questions

I will not be at school tomorrow (10/8). You should bring your books to class. You will be working on a one pager for chapter 7.  Use the following discussion questions for box #6.

1. How and why did the Americans and the British differ in their views of taxation and of the relationship of colonies to the empire?

2. What was the theory and practice of mercantilism? What were its actual effects on the colonies, and why did the colonists resent it so much?

3. What advantages ans disadvantages did the American rebels and the British each possess as the was began? What did each side do to mobilize its resources most effectively?

4.  Given the history of the colonies’ founding and British “benign neglect” until the period just before the Revolution, was the American Revolution inevitable? Or could the thirteen colonies have remained peacefully attached to Britain for many years, as Canada did?
