As 1775 dawned, tensions between Britain and the colonies were at a breaking point. The Coercive Acts had galvanized resistance, and colonial leaders prepared for the unknown. A revolutionary year began. #America250 #AmericanRevolution #GISDAmerica250 GISDSocStud


Phillis Wheatley, a poet and intellectual, embodied revolutionary ideals. In a 1774 letter to Samson Occom, she wrote, ‘In every human Breast, God has implanted a Principle, which we call Love of Freedom.’ #America250 #AmericanRevolution #GISDAmerica250 GISDSocStud


Native nations like the Wabanaki Confederacy faced tough choices in 1775. They navigated alliances with Britain, the colonies, or independence while defending their sovereignty. #America250 #AmericanRevolution #GISDAmerica250 GISDSocStud


By early 1775, African Americans faced critical choices in the revolutionary conflict. Some, like Peter Salem, would later fight for liberty, while others sought freedom by joining British forces. #America250 #AmericanRevolution #GISDAmerica250 GISDSocStud


I love seeing the geography one-pagers in the hallway at Schrade MS GISDSocStud #Spring2025 #letsdothis


Colonial artisans were vital to the revolutionary cause. Blacksmiths, printers, and shipbuilders provided the tools and communication networks needed to challenge British control. #America250 #AmericanRevolution #GISDAmerica250 GISDSocStud

Colonial children played their part in 1775. Boys worked as drummers and messengers, while girls like young Abigail Lovell spied on British troops, showing courage beyond their years. #America250 #AmericanRevolution #GISDAmerica250 GISDSocStud
