The War of Independence, which at one time was an example of a revolutionary war, influenced the struggle of the European bourgeoisie against the feudal-absolutist order

About 7 thousand European volunteers fought in the ranks of the American army, among them the French Marquis Lafayette, A. Saint-Simon, and the Pole T. Kosciuszko. The War of Independence was welcomed by the leading people of many countries, including Russia. A. N. Radishchev sang it in the ode “Liberty.”

In 1787, the United States adopted a constitution, the most progressive in the world.

The first English colonists in North America were the Puritans. Having no hope of reforming the Church of England, in 1620 they decided to emigrate to Virginia (Plymouth). Many of them died. But others survived by learning from the Indians how to grow maize. Within 20 years, people from 20 countries lived in New England. In 1700, the population of the North American colonies was 250 thousand people.

Slide 5

COLONIAL POLICY OF ENGLAND
The English government did not take into account the rights of the colonists and made laws for them, but without their consent. The king appointed and approved governors. Women, slaves, Indians were deprived of all rights.
A ban on the import of cars, equipment, their models and drawings into the colonies. A ban on iron processing, ship building, and the export of wool products. Law on confiscation of contraband goods. Prohibition of unauthorized resettlement to free lands in the West (beyond the Allegheny Mountains) Law on the placement of English troops, of which there were more than 10,000, in the apartments of the population.

Slide 6

COLONIAL POLICY OF ENGLAND
1765 - introduction of stamp duty on every trade transaction, on every document. 1767 - introduction of new duties on the import of wine, oil, glass, tea, and paper from England.
WHAT CONSEQUENCES COULD THE METROPOLISH POLICY LEAD TO?

Slide 7

The colonists launched a campaign to boycott British goods. It happened that officials collecting stamp duty were smeared with tar, covered in feathers and carried tied to long poles to the deafening sound of frying pans and buckets. In view of this, the new duties were abolished in 1770, but the duty on tea was withheld as confirmation of the right of the mother country.

Slide 8

BOSTON TEA PARTY
In 1773, the East India Company received the right to duty-free import of tea. This led to the ruin of many merchants. The colonists refused to buy tea. In Boston, the governor decided to unload the tea. Colonists disguised as Indians boarded English ships and threw 45 tons of tea overboard. The closure of the Boston port, the prohibition of meetings of citizens and the stationing of British soldiers in the city further aggravated the conflict between the mother country and the colonies.

Slide 9

In 1774, the First Continental Congress of representatives from 12 colonies (except Georgia), chosen by their legislatures, opened illegally in Philadelphia. He proclaimed the natural rights of the colonists to “life, liberty and property.” It was decided to create an army under the leadership of George Washington.
