- ESSENTIAL QUESTION
- How did the Stamp Act and Intolerable Acts cause
the American Revolution?
22STAMP ACT - 1765
- Definition First direct British tax on American
colonists. Every newspaper, pamphlet, and other
public and legal document had to have a Stamp, or
British seal, on it. The Stamp, of course, cost
money. The colonists didn't think they should
have to pay for something they had been doing for
free for many years, and they responded in force,
with demonstrations and even with a diplomatic
body called the Stamp Act Congress, which
delivered its answer to the Crown. Seeing the
hostile reaction in the colonies, the British
government repealed the Stamp Act in March 1766
but at the same time passed the Declaratory Act,
which said that Great Britain was superior (and
boss of) the American colonies "in all cases
whatsoever." The Stamp Act gave the colonists a
target for their rage. Indeed, the Sons of
Liberty was formed in response to this Act. The
Stamp Act Congress also gave the colonists a
model for the Continental Congress. - - SocialStudiesForKids.com

44American Revolution Groups
- LOYALISTS
- Though Georgians opposed British trade
regulations, many hesitated to join the
revolutionary movement that emerged in the
American colonies in the early 1770s and resulted
in the Revolutionary War (1775-83). The colony
had prospered under royal rule, and many
Georgians thought that they needed the protection
of British troops against a possible Indian
attack. - - New Georgia Encyclopedia
- PATRIOTS
- Colonists who opposed British rule and wanted to
break away and form their own country. These
colonists were angered over the many ACTS (rules
and taxes) that they were forced to pay,
especially since they had no voice in government
(Parliament). The slogan no taxation without
representation was what they rallied behind.
The Patriots would eventually fight the British
in the American Revolutionary War.

Georgia's most acclaimed female participant
during the Revolutionary War (1775-83) was Nancy
Hart. A devout patriot, Hart gained notoriety
during the revolution for her determined efforts
to rid the area of Tories, English soldiers, and
British sympathizers. Her single-handed efforts
against Tories and Indians in the Broad River
frontier, as well as her covert activities as a
patriot spy, have become the stuff of myth,
legend, and local folklore. - New Georgia

51BATTLE OF KETTLE CREEK The most important event
to occur at Kettle Creek took place on Sunday,
February 14, 1779. On that morning 600 American
supporters of the British cause, popularly known
as Loyalists or Tories, encamped atop a hill in a
bend of the creek. Elijah Clarke and other
patriot soldiers were able to defeat the
loyalists and prevented the British from invading
northern Georgia. - New Georgia Encyclopedia
52Elijah Clarke
Elijah Clarke was a patriot and a hero of the
Revolutionary War from Georgia. Clarke County
is named for him. On February 14, 1779, Clarke
led a charge in the rebel victory at Kettle
Creek, Georgia. - New Georgia Encyclopedia
53Austin Dabney
Austin Dabney was a slave who became a private in
the Georgia militia and fought against the
British during the Revolutionary War (1775-83).
He was the only African American to be granted
land by the state of Georgia in recognition of
his bravery and service during the Revolution and
one of the few to receive a federal military
pension. Born in Wake County, North Carolina,
in the 1760s, Austin Dabney moved with his
master, Richard Aycock, to Wilkes County,
Georgia, in the late 1770s. In order to avoid
military service himself, Aycock sent Dabney to
join the Georgia militia as a substitute. Serving
as an artilleryman under Elijah Clarke, Dabney is
believed to have been the only black soldier to
participate in the Battle of Kettle Creek, one of
the most significant battles in Georgia, which
took place near Washington on February 14, 1779.
He was severely wounded in the thigh during the
fighting, and Giles Harris, a white soldier, took
Dabney to his home to care for the wound. Dabney
remembered Harris's kindness and worked for the
Harris family for the rest of his life. - New
Georgia Encyclopedia

- ESSENTIAL QUESTION
- What is significant about the siege of Savannah
during the Revolutionary War?
56Siege of Savannah This drawing by a British
officer details the failed attempt by American
and French forces to recapture Savannah from
British troops on October 9, 1779.
57Siege of Savannah
- Governor Sir James Wright returned to Georgia on
July 14, 1779, and announced the restoration of
Georgia to the crown, with the privilege of
exemption from taxation. Thus Georgia became the
first, and ultimately the only one, of the
thirteen states in rebellion to be restored to
royal allegiance. - On September 3, 1779, a French fleet of
twenty-five ships appeared unexpectedly off the
Georgia coast. Count Charles Henri d'Estaing
intended to oblige George Washington by stopping
off on his way back to France to recapture
Savannah. He disembarked his army of 4,000-5,000
men on the Vernon River and proceeded to besiege
Savannah. Major General Benjamin Lincoln hurried
over from South Carolina with his army of
patriots to join in the siege. - On October 9, 1779, the allies launched a grand
assault upon the British lines and suffered 752
casualties, while the British defenders lost only
18 killed and 39 wounded. Count Casimir Pulaski,
a Polish nobleman who had volunteered to fight
for the cause of liberty, died. The battered
French army withdrew to its ships, and Benjamin
Lincoln's troops returned to Charleston.

59So, what is significant about the siege of
Savannah?
- In 1779, Patriot forces with the help of the
French navy tried to regain control of Savannah,
but were badly defeated by the British army. - The British controlled the colony of Georgia
until 1783 when the Treaty of Paris was signed
when Britain officially gave up the fight to keep
control of the colonies ending the
Revolutionary War.

power in government is a product of existing
documents and laws combined with contemporary
values and beliefs.What are some documents that
