1763 Signing of the Treaty of Paris
Ending the Seven Year’s War, also known as the French and Indian War in North America. France ceded
all mainland North American territories, except New Orleans, in order to retain her Caribbean sugar
islands. Britain gained all territory east of the Mississippi River; Spain kept territory west of the
Mississippi, but exchanged East and West Florida for Cuba.
1763 Proclamation of 1763
Wary of the cost of defending the colonies, George III prohibited all settlement west of the Appalachian
mountains without guarantees of security from local Native American nations. The intervention in colonial
affairs offended the thirteen colonies' claim to the exclusive right to govern lands to their west.
1764 Sugar Act
The first attempt to finance the defence of the colonies by the British Government. In order to deter
smuggling and to encourage the production of British rum, taxes on molasses were dropped; a levy was
placed on foreign Madeira wine and colonial exports of iron, lumber and other goods had to pass first
through Britain and British customs. The Act established a Vice-Admiralty Court in Halifax, Nova Scotia
to hear smuggling cases without jury and with the presumption of guilt. These measures led to widespread
protest.
1765 Stamp Act
Seeking to defray some of the costs of garrisoning the colonies, Parliament required all legal documents,
newspapers and pamphlets required to use watermarked, or 'stamped' paper on which a levy was placed.
1765 Quartering Act
Colonial assemblies required to pay for supplies to British garrisons. The New York assembly argued that it
could not be forced to comply.
1765 Virginian Resolution
The Virginian assembly refused to comply with the Stamp Act.
1765 Stamp Act Congress
Representatives from nine of the thirteen colonies declare the Stamp Act unconstitutional
as it was a tax levied without their consent.
1766 Declaratory Act
Parliament finalizes the repeal of the Stamp Act, but declares that it has the right to tax
colonies
1767 Townshend Revenue Act (Townshend Duties)
Duties on tea, glass, lead, paper and paint to help pay for the administration of the
colonies, named after Charles Townshend, the Chancellor of the Exchequer. John
Dickinson publishes Letter from a Philadelphian Farmer in protest. Colonial assemblies
condemn taxation without representation.
1768 British troops arrive in Boston in response to political unrest.
1770, 5 March The Boston Massacre
1773 BOSTON TEA PARTY
1775…WAR!

NAME________________________
P.E.A.S
Is from APUSH College Board…
T(hesis)
E(valuation) Support Evidence
A(nalysis) Argue Point Attorney
S(ynthesis) Conclusion *
*Think about how an attorney closes his trial…
A good one ties everything together making it a new
creation for the jury to consider!
This should be relatively easy and FAST!
College Board Graders do each essay in about 60 seconds!
P
1) Look for a THESIS…Highlight it using YELLOW.
If there are more then one (highlight them also) using
a different COLOR for each!
KEY: Most will get this. If they have at least one
and it makes logical sense give them a 1 score. 1 is
the MAX!
E
2) STEP 2 is also easy, but can be tricky!
LOOK FOR EVIDENCE THAT SUPPORTS THE
THESIS! For the first (possibly only) only highlight
facts/evidence that supports the thesis/idea. USE THE
SAME COLOR.
Example:
Thesis: The European powers developed different
patterns of colonization in the Americas based on their
goals.
Here could be evidence: In Plymouth the Pilgrims,
who were originally English, settled in Massachusetts,
in 1620 for religious reasons. They left just before the
religious exodus known as the great migration, which
took place between 1629 and 1640.
RED AREA IS A GOOD FACT, BUT NOT
SUPPORT EVIDENCE.
NEED AT LEAST 4 FACTS TIED TO THE THESIS IDEA or
2 tied to each of the 2 ideas.
Dates and/or names IF relevant may add .5pt(s) each!
4 total = 2 out of 2
2-3total=1 out of 2 Less than 2=0 out of 2
KEY: If they have incorrect facts or dates, they are
invalid and will not qualify…ie;
settled in Virginia, in 1621 for religious reasons
YOU MAY NEED A BOOK FOR THIS TO CHECK!
If the facts DO NOT MATCH the thesis 0/2
A
Additional facts
not necessary but
tie to the evidence
and make a better
argument!
Analysis or ARGUING YOUR FACTS/POINTS
WITH CONTEXTUALIZATION…
3) The student must add in support for their facts
and ARGUE why this fact(s) support their earlier
thesis. Contextualization is important and
showing why it is important today is important
for college board to see. If the argument does not
support the evidence or the evidence does not
support the thesis these points shall not be
awarded by College Board!
OUR EXAMPLE: The Pilgrims however were
clearly not as invasive as the Spanish and were
able to build better early relations at Plymouth.
The first Thanksgiving in November, of 1621 is
still a tradition today in United States…
The Spanish conquistadores led by Cortex did in
fact totally obliterate Tenochtitlan in 1521 and
this clearly shows…
Next position supported here!
KEY: Scoring of 2 out of 2 if the paper has at least
4 clear and concise arguments or supports for
evidence given in paragraph 2. MAY HAVE 2
arguments each for the 2 thesis ideas of 4 for a singular idea.
SAME SCORING AS THE EVIDENCE SECTION!
***VERY IMPORTANT TO TIE YOUR IDEAS TO
BROADER POSSIBLY CURRENT EVENTS!
NEED AT LEAST 4 SUPPORTING ARGUMENTS TIED
TOTHE THESIS IDEA or
2 tied to each of the 2 ideas.
Dates and/or names IF relevant may add .25pt(s) each!
4 total = 2 out of 2 2-3total=1 out of 2
Less than 2=0 out of 2
NOTE THE IMPORTANCE OF ANALYSIS AND EVIDENCE!
4 out of the 6 possible POINTS.
Thesis is only 1 POINT!
Conclusion is only POINT!
S
If it looks like the paper has tied the former 3 together
HERE IS A QUICK HOW TO STRATEGY!
The following strategy may help you
write an effective conclusion.
Play the “So What” Game. If you’re stuck and feel like your conclusion
isn’t saying anything new or interesting, ask a friend to read it with you.
Whenever you make a statement from your conclusion, ask the friend to
say, “So what?” or “Why should anybody care?” Then ponder that
question and answer it. Here’s how it might go…
You: Basically, I’m just saying that the Pilgrims were
different than the Spanish Conquistadores!
Friend: So what?
You: Well, it was important because it was a key to how
culture developed and colonies were settled.
Friend: Why should anybody care?
You: That’s important because plantation owners tried
to keep slaves from being educated so that they could
maintain control. In the northern New England colonies
they were more founded in religion and freedom.
You can also use this strategy on your own, asking yourself “So
What?” as you develop your ideas or your draft.
KEY: To achieve the 1 point on this very simple. College
Board is very quickly looking to see that everything has
been tied together in a “new” way using “SYNTHESIS”.
If the rest of the paper is accurate clear and supported
you will achieve this point using the above technique!
