So that thing called the French and Indian War was pretty brutal eh? With all of the mistakes the British made (we talked about those in class) it's a wonder they won the war in the end. Then they made mistakes after the war like that darn Proclamation of 1763 which really ruffled the feathers of the colonists.
Anyways, your new video will give you the foundation for what we will be doing in class. We don't mention all of the acts and taxes, just the major ones before the Boston Massacre and Boston Tea Party, which caused even worst acts to be handed down. So look out for the Stamp Act, Quartering Act, Townshend Acts, and the Sons of Liberty!
Here is the link for the extra credit videos too!
The War That Made America- Parts 1, 2, 3, & 4.
If you watch the videos, it will get close to 4 hours in length. If you have the guts to undertake this great challenge, you will be rewarded with riches (extra credit points) beyond belief! Just provide a paragraph summary for each part, which would equal to 4 paragraphs when you are completely finished. My advice would be to just watch a little here and there, and not the whole thing all at once. Good luck!
