I have this assignment for my social studies class. We have to write a DBQ essay on the American Revolution. We had done the documents for homework and go over it as a class.
Here are the tasks below:
1. Identify and discuss two causes of the American Revolution
2. Describe two examples of colonial response to specific actions taken by the British
My ss teacher told us to write it in your owns words and then we done it as a class to
Task 1: Talk about the causes of the American revolution
Task 2: Describe specific things the colonist did in response to British actions
BTW: Here is the Historical Context
In the American colonies from 1763 to 1776, a growing spirit of rebellion and independence was felt by the colonist. Following an extended period of neglect, the British began to exercise stricter control over the colonies. Political, social, and economic factors caused the colonists to take steps that led to the creation of one of the world's first democratic republic.
here is my essay. I'm not done with it because I have 3 more paragraph left (it has to be a 4 paragraph essay)
The American Revolution
From 1763 through 1776 the American colonies sprit of rebellion was escalating. After a long period of being ignored, England put harder rules over the colonist. Economic, political, and social factors made the colonist take steps that led to their independence.
According to Document 1 and 2, England treats the colonies as if they were children. They always tax colonist so that way they won’t have any money. The colonists were angry and tried to over throw the king.

To find additional examples of actions taken by the British that led to colonial response, you can refer to the documents that were assigned for homework. Since you mentioned that you already went over the documents as a class, you should have access to information about specific actions taken by the British that angered the colonists. Here are steps you can take to complete Task 2:
1. Review the assigned documents: Go back to the documents provided by your teacher for the DBQ assignment. Look for any references to British actions that caused discontent among the colonists. Pay attention to specific events, policies, or legislation that had a significant impact.
2. Take notes on British actions: As you review the documents, note down instances of British actions that caused colonial response. Look for examples of taxation, trade regulations, military occupation, or any other events that were particularly controversial or significant.
3. Analyze the documents: Analyze each document in terms of its content and context. Consider the historical background, the purpose of each document, and the perspective of the author. Pay attention to any direct or indirect references to British actions and their impact on the colonists.
4. Summarize your findings: Based on your analysis, summarize at least two specific examples of colonial response to British actions. Write a clear and concise description of each response, mentioning the specific action taken by the British and how the colonists reacted.
By following these steps, you should be able to identify additional examples of actions taken by the British that had an impact on the colonists and led to their response. Remember to refer to the assigned documents for specific information, as they are a valuable source of evidence for your essay.
