Treaty of Paris

John Adams, Benjamin Franklin, and John Jay were America's principal delegates to the peace talks in Paris, which began in June 1782. The british awarded america ALL places EAST of missisissipi. PROBLEMS WITH TREATY OF PARIS: -Treaty of paris failed to prevent disputes between Britan and America -didnt compansate loyalists -didn't mention native americans in the treaty -ratified american independence -Some disputes still left unresolved "Under a separate treaty, Britain returned East and West Florida to Spain, but the boundaries designated by this treaty were ambiguous. Spain interpreted the treaty to mean that it regained the same Florida territory that it had ceded to Britain in 1763 (see Chapter 5). But the Treaty of Paris (not signed by Spain) named the thirty-first parallel as Florida's northern border, well south of the area claimed by Spain"

Articles of Confederation (John Dickson)

-Did not provide enough central power to the government in order to effectively govern Government that focused more on states' rights. It reserved to each state "its sovereignty, freedom and independence." Under the Articles, the national government consisted of a single-chamber Congress, elected by the state legislatures, in which each state had one vote. The approval of seven states was required to pass minor legislation; nine states had to approve declarations of war, treaties, and the coining and borrowing of money. ^Maryland agreed. -Reserved to each state, and not government Perhaps the single most important measure passed by Congress under the Articles of Confederation, the Northwest Ordinance established the first United States territory and provided for its later division into states.

Yet their influence was lasting. At their insistence, the Virginia, New York, and Massachusetts conventions approved the Constitution with the accompanying request that it be amended to include a bill of rights protecting Americans' basic freedoms. Moreover, Antifederalists' concerns for the sovereignty of states under the Constitution's federal framework would be echoed in the bitter political debates that roiled the new government during its first decade and long thereafter. As the Antifederalists predicted, the Constitution afforded enormous scope for special interests to influence the government. WELL KNOWN antifederalists: George Clinton and Virginia's Patrick Henry, Richard Henry Lee, George Mason, and future president James Monroe.

The War in the West 1776-1782

-War errupted inn 1776 when with cherrokes attacking settlers from North Carolina and nearby states that had enroached their lands -Developed from the appachians westward. -Small scale skirmeshes rather than a huge battle all at once -Continued tensions over land between NA'S and settlers -A smaller scale war but high stakes for the new nation, for the british, french and settlers -Expeditions forced cheerokes to leave.

AFTER THE WAR: The American victory drove about sixty thousand white loyalists, African Americans, and Native Americans into exile. More than half the refugees moved to Canada, with the rest dispersing to Great Britain and to British colonies in the West Indies, Africa, and India. Finally, although the war secured American independence, it did not address two important issues: what kind of society America would become and what sort of government the new nation would possess.

Three Fifths Clause

Allowed three-fifths of all slaves to be counted for congressional representation and, thereby, in the Electoral College that selected the president.

Politics of this time

Americans feared centralized authority and lived in bitter memories of past royal governers Revolutionary leaders were usually republicans In establishing new political institutions, revolutionary Americans endeavored to guarantee liberty at the state level by minimizing executive power and by subjecting all officeholders to frequent scrutiny by voters. In turn, the new national government was subordinate, under the Articles of Confederation, to the thirteen states. challenges facing the Confederation made clear to many elites the need for more centralized authority at the national level as well. In keeping with colonial practice, eleven states established bicameral (two-chamber) legislatures. Nine of the thirteen states reduced property requirements slightly for voting, but none abolished such qualifications entirely. a minority of voters usually elected a majority of assemblymen Pennsylvania sought to avoid such outcomes by attempting to ensure election districts would be roughly equal in population. Penn also didn't even have a office for govener Pennsylvania and Georgia abolished the upper house altogether Americans jettisoned the British conception of a constitution as a body of customary arrangements and practices, insisting instead that constitutions were written compacts that defined and limited the powers of rulers. By 1784, all state constitutions included explicit bills of rights that outlined certain freedoms that lay beyond the control of any government. In most states, the governor became an elected official after 1776 all states scheduled annual elections except South Carolina, which held them every two years. Legislatures usually appointed judges and could reduce their salaries legislatures could impeach both judges and governors the constitutions gave governors little to do except chair councils that made militia appointments and supervised financial matters an elite-dominated convention in 1780 pushed through a constitution largely authored by John Adams. The document=property qualifications for voting and holding office, state senate districts that were apportioned according to property values, and a governor with considerable powers in making appointments and vetoing legislative measures. -The Massachusetts constitution signaled a general trend. John Dickson=Articles of Confederation

Battle of Yorktown

Cornwallis surrenders to George Washington. See more info under the "war in the south." Prior to this: six thousand British troops stood off eighty-eight hundred Americans and seventy-eight hundred French for three weeks before surrendering with military honors on October 19, 1781.

Newburgh Conspiracy and Robert Moris

Led by Robert Morris and Alexander Hamilton Morris always proposed that the states authorize the collection of a national import duty of 5 percent, which would finance the congressional budget and guarantee interest payments on the war debt. -Morris saw that the US needed sources dependent of the states to achieve a strong national government. In 1783, the two men secretly persuaded some army officers, then encamped at Newburgh, New York, to threaten a coup d'état unless the treasury obtained the taxation authority needed to raise their pay, which was months in arrears.

Samson Occum and several hundred other disillusioned Christian Indians left New England in 1784.

Battle Of Saratoga

The Revolutions turning point. -France now believed americans could win war -Negotiated by Benjamin Franklin ^ -Franced signed up to help with war, and treaties of friendship/commerce -Americans' overwhelming numbers more than their skill had forced Burgoyne to surrender.

Revolution for African Americans and eventual freedom

The wartime situation of African Americans contradicted the ideals of equality and justice for which Americans were fighting. About a half million blacks—20 percent of the total population—inhabited the United States in 1776, all but about twenty-five thousand of whom were enslaved. Even those who were free could not vote, lived under curfews and other galling restrictions, and lacked the guarantees of equal justice held by the poorest white criminal. Free blacks could expect no more than grudging toleration, and few slaves had ever gained their freedom. MOST states offered some civil rights to free blacks, during and then after revolution. The revolution neither ended slavery nor brought back equality to free blacks, but it did began a process of which slavery might eventually become non-existant pressure from white southern politicians led Washington to ban blacks from serving on November 12, 1775, ironically just five days after Lord Dunmore's proclamation invited enslaved Virginians to join the British. -The arming of enslaved African Americans was more controversial among white patriots. -in the decade before the Revolution, American opposition to slavery had swelled, as resistance leaders compared the colonies' relationship with Britain to that between slaves and a master. By 1779, Quaker slave owners had freed 80 percent of their slaves. Between 1777 and 1784, Vermont, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and Connecticut began phasing out slavery. New York did not do so until 1799, and New Jersey until 1804. the northern states took steps that weakened the institution, paving the way for its eventual demise. Most state abolition laws provided for gradual emancipation, typically declaring all children born of a slave woman after a certain date—often July 4—free. (They still had to work, without pay, for their mother's master up to age twenty-eight.) northern politicians did not press for decisive action against slavery in the South. (financial worries) all states except South Carolina and Georgia ended slave imports and all but North Carolina passed laws making it easy for masters to manumit (set free) slaves. most free blacks remained poor laborers, domestic servants, and tenant farmers. only earning 1/3 of whitemen Prince Hall=One of the most prominent free blacks to emerge during the Revolutionary period -Took a leading role among boston blacks, protesting slavery -He formed African American masonic lodge -^mvmnt that went into nothern cities and was important support for africans. -petitioned massachusates for freedom for blacks to return back to africa. Phillis Weatly=MOST RECOGNIZED african american. -enslaved boston poet -never was freed -inspired many during revolution

Treaty of Alliance

United States by signing treaties of friendship and commerce and of military alliance with the new nation.The second of these agreements, the Treaty of Alliance, solidified the bonds between the two countries, as they pledged that neither would agree to a peace treaty with the British without the other's involvement. -French join the patriots -Spain declares war against british, but only wants to side with french, not americans. -Dutch even joined in 1780, to fight beside french and patriots -

Financial Outcomes and the Economy

greatest challenge facing the Confederation was putting the nation back on sound financial footing -War had cost 160 mill -to fully finance war, goveners had to borrow abroad -By late 1780s, states had fallen behind 80 percent in providing the funds that Congress requested to operate the government/honor the national debt. -an economic depression gripped New England beginning in 1784 -New englanders faced high taxes -Overpopulation/high unemployment -famine stalked Europe, farmers in Pennsylvania and New York prospered from climbing export prices. -Recovery from the war finally showed in 1788 -Tobaco Farmers shifted to growing wheat -other farmers, hemp
