1. The course textbook notes that a “growing rift” in the 1770s led to the American Revolution that eventually produced independence for the United States from Great Britain. When the War for American Independence broke out, both the British and the Americans maintained what they viewed as very significant reasons for going to war based on that rift that had developed between the two groups. Explain the reasons why each side went to war. In doing so, discuss two distinct reasons why the Americans justified war and two distinct reasons why the British justified war. Be sure that you explain why each reason helped to justify the war for its side. Also, be sure that your answer does justice to both sides – i.e., that you demonstrate understanding of why each side would see its reasons as significant and legitimate.

6. The course textbook states that “America’s fight for independence ushered in an extended age of revolution that, over the following half century, would see a king toppled and aristocratic privilege overthrown in France, republican reforms erupt throughout Europe, and independence movements undercut European imperialism in Haiti and Latin America” (153). With this in mind, explain how the U.S. revolution influenced the development of revolutions in Europe and in the Atlantic region. Identify and explain three specific and distinct ways in which the U.S. revolution influenced revolutions in Europe and the Atlantic. For each influence, clearly identify what specifically in these other revolutions demonstrates the influence of the U.S. revolution, clearly identify what feature(s) of the U.S. revolution provided that influence, and clearly and fully explain how those feature(s) of the U.S. revolution provided that influence.
