Previous Knowledge
•  Students should have some prior knowledge of the Tea
Act, the Intolerable Acts, and the Declaration of
Independence and South Carolina’s role in these events.
Students also learned about the perspectives of Patriots,
Loyalists, women, enslaved and free Africans, and Native
Americans and the course of the war in South Carolina.
Students also learned about the role of the French and
Indian War in bringing about a change in British colonial
policies and colonial resistance through boycotts,
congresses, and petitions. Students also learned how the
Enlightenment influenced the American Revolution.
Future Knowledge
•  In United States History, students will examine the conflict
between colonial legislatures and the British Parliament over
the right to tax that resulted in the American Revolutionary
War

•  When you want to buy something “new”, how do
you get the money for it?
•  Work for it?
•  Ask a parent?
•  Grandparent?
•  Save allowance?
In the same way that you save money or work for
money to buy what you want, the British Crown and
Parliament imposed TAXES on the colonies in order
to pay for the French and Indian War. However, the
colonists believed it was the right of their colony not
the prerogative of the King to impose Taxes.

surrounding the American
Revolution transformed
British Colonists into
American citizens and

role in this process.
What Is a Revolution?
•  The act of a celestial body moving around in an
orbit
•  A movement around a point
•  A sudden, radical, or complete change
•  A change in a political situation or make up
•  A CHANGE
•  A revolution in the most basic sense is a change in
position.
Where do they come from?
Revolutions can come about in
many different ways.
•  Gradual Change-some revolutions occur without
people noticing until it is nearly over.
•  Social Change-acceptable forms of public speech.
(clothing)
•  Explosive Change-brought about suddenly and usually
with a lot of damage. There is no way you could miss
this kind of revolution. (Overthrow of government ex. French Revolution)
Focus Statement

surrounding the American
Revolution transformed
British Colonists into
American citizens and
South Carolina’s pivotal
role in this process.
•  The MOST IMPORTANT tax placed on the colonist
by Parliament.
•  This Act placed a tax on paper such as legal
documents or newspapers which the colonists
paid directly to the seller.
•  Prior to this taxes were paid indirectly by the
Merchants.
Stamp Act
Stamp Act
•  This ACT led the colonist to protest “No Taxation
Without Representation” because colonist did not
have their own representative in Parliament and
therefore believed that they had no colonial
voice in Parliament.
•  Colonists wanted the rights of their own colonial
assemblies to control taxation.
•  Colonists organized a Stamp Act Congress and a
boycott on British goods (manufactured goods)
that led to the end of the Stamp Act.
Checking For Understanding
•  On your whiteboards, please write explain why the
colonists boycotted English Manufactured Goods.
−  “NO TAXATION WITHOUT REPRESENTATION!!!!!”

Sons and Daughters of Liberty
•  After the Stamp Act was repealed the Sons and
Daughters of Liberty was organized, in order to
protest British taxes.
•  The Sons used tactics of persuasion and
intimidation to enforce boycotts
•  Daughters stopped buying British goods and
found substitutes instead.
Townshend and Tea
Townshend duties
•  Indirect tax imposed by
British on the import of paint,
paper, tea, and many other
goods
•  Now the colonists didn’t
want indirect taxes either
because it was a way for
the crown to gain revenue
instead of regulate trade.
•  The colonist boycotted and
the duties were lifted
•  Except the tax on TEA
Tea ACT
•  Tea ACT was NOT a tax
•  This gave the British East
India Company
exclusive rights to sell
tea in the colonies
because the East India
Tea Company had
financial problems and
Parliament wanted to
help
Tea Act
•  Colonists boycotted because of the Tea tax
during the Townshend Acts.
•  The Sons of Liberty feared that the tea from the
East India Tea Company being sold so cheap
would affect the boycott so they organized a little
“Tea Party in Boston”
•  The sons threw the tea overboard in Boston, there
were also smaller parties in Georgetown and
Charles Town. These parties didn’t allow the tea to
be sold.
−  The Boston Tea Party resulted in the passage of
what the colonists called the Intolerable Acts
Checking For Understanding
•  On your white boards, Please tell me who
organized the Boston Tea Party.
−  Sons of Liberty
•  Why did they do this?
−  To boycott the tax on tea (by the Townshend Act)
and to keep the boycott in place
Checking for Understanding
• What tactics did the Sons of Liberty
use to stop the Stamp Act?
−  Boycott
−  Intimidation
−  Persuasion
Intolerable Acts
•  In 1774, Representatives from all over South Carolina
colony met in Charles Town to elect representatives to
the Continental Congress to be held in Philadelphia.
•  They also established a General Committee of 99 to
govern the colony instead of the royal governor.
•  Henry Middleton, of South Carolina was elected the
president of the Continental Congress, established a
non-importation and non-exportation agreement.
•  However, SC argued that the exportation of Rice was
essential for the survival of SC

Finding Out: South Carolina’s Delegates
“OUR LIVES, OUR FORTUNES, AND OUR SACRED HONOR”
South Carolina’s delegation to the Second Continental Congress
voted for independence on July 2,
1776. The delegation consisted of Thomas Lynch, Jr., Thomas Lynch,
Sr., Arthur Middleton, Edward Rutledge, and Thomas Heyward, Jr.
Later, four of the five signed the Declaration of Independence.
Read the following brief biographies on these signers and answer
the questions that follow.
Questions:
I Do:
1.  Who were the South Carolina delegates to the
Second Continental Congress?
We Do:
2. What delegate never signed the Declaration?
Closure
1.  Came from one of the state’s wealthiest families. Yet, he was one of the most outspoken advocates for
independence. He replaced his more conservative father as a member of the state’s congressional
delegation in 1776. He voted for and signed the Declaration. When appointed governor in 1778, he
declined to serve, but chose to serve as a militia officer. Captured when Charles Town fell in 1780, he
was imprisoned at St. Augustine until exchanged in the spring of 1781. He again served his country as a
member of the Continental Congress from 1781 to 1782. After the war, he rebuilt his rice plantations
and lived at Middleton Place until his death in 1787.
2.  Arthur Middleton
3.  Was a rice planter and delegate. He suffered a stroke in 1776. Unable to sign the Declaration in
August 1776, a space was left for him to sign with the South Carolina Delegation. Unfortunately, while
traveling home in December 1776, he suffered a second stroke and died.
4.  Thomas Lynch Sr.
5.  Was a lawyer and planter. He was the head of South Carolina’s congressional delegation. He became
an advocate for independence only after it became clear that a majority of the other delegations
were leaning toward it. He was again elected to congress in 1778, but chose instead to serve in the
state militia, as a captain. When Charleston surrendered in 1780, he was captured and imprisoned at
St. Augustine, Florida. As part of a prisoner exchange, he was released in July of 1781. He was elected
and served in the state legislature from 1782 to 1798 and was elected governor in 1798. He died while
in office in 1800.
6.  Edward Rutledge
7.  He was a wealthy planter and lawyer. Sent as a delegate to the congress, he voted for independence
and signed the Declaration. In 1778, he returned to the state and accepted a commission as a
captain in the militia. Captured when Charles Town fell, he was held as a prisoner in St. Augustine until
July of 1781. After his release, he served as a circuit judge and died in 1809.
8.  Thomas Heyward, Sr.
