US History: Crisis and Revolution Lecture
The document summarizes the key events of the period from 1750-1780s that led to the American Revolution. It describes the crisis on the frontier caused by Pontiac's War and the Proclamation of 1763, which angered colonists and led to their protests against new taxes. This grew into open revolt against Britain, with important early battles at Lexington, Concord, and Bunker Hill. The colonists formally declared independence in 1776 and fought a long revolutionary war, which included Washington's crossing of the Delaware and crucial victories at Saratoga and Yorktown. This ultimately led to American independence being recognized in the 1783 Treaty of Paris.
