La lucha por la libertad
por Daniel Rosen
La lucha por la libertad
begins with a snapshot of America in 1763. This pivotal year marked the end of the French and Indian War, a struggle that started the colonists thinking of themselves as Americans. Chapter 1 introduces George Washington and describes key controversies that led the colonists torebellion. Chapter 2 introduces early battles of the Revolutionary War and the authors of the Declaration of Independence. Chapters 3 and 4 describe strengths and weaknesses of the English and American armies and the long and difficult path to American victory. La lucha por la libertad concludes by noting the war contributions of African Americans and women and the enduring effects of the revolution inAmerica and around the world.
A series of acts, or laws,
passed by England paved the way for the eventual rebellion of the colonies. The Sugar Act (1764) placed duties on sugar, tea, coffee, and wine. The Stamp Act (1765) taxed documents such as deeds, newspapers, and marriage licenses. The Quartering Act (1765) forced colonists to supply British troops with housing and other items. TheTownshend Revenue Act (1767) placed duties on glass, lead, paper, paints, oil, and tea. In 1773, the Tea Act gave monopolistic power to the East India Company to sell in America. The Coercive, or Intolerable, Acts (1774) severely limited the power of colonial governments. The Prohibitory Act (1775) placed an embargo on American goods and seized American ships.
