American Revolution Strip Design/Keynote- Cause and Effect
Chapter 6 Section 4 Ipad Activity
The American Revolution can be viewed as the most important single event in the American history. The action of the war was important, but the greater importance is how American colonists stood up for enlightenment ideas and against the powerful British monarch and Parliament. By examining the cause and effect relationship centered on events, we can understand why colonists chose to defy the British, select the path of independence, defeat a powerful empire and create a new republic for its people.
