The American Revolution (1754-1783)In the early colonial period, the colonies grew
accustomed to running their own affairs. When Britain tried to reestablish control, tensions mounted over
taxes and basic rights. In 1775 these tensions led to battle, and in 1776 the colonists declared their
independence from Britain. With the help of France and Spain, the colonists defeated the British in 1781. The Treaty of Paris in 1783 formally ended the war.

Creating a Constitution ( 1781-1789)After the American Revolution, the new nation struggled to draw up a
plan for government. Americans wanted to make sure the government did not have too much power. Eventually they came up with a way to balance federal and state power and to divide federal power into three branches. Promising to add a bill of rights helped win approval for the
Constitution.
Shay’s Rebellion< Governor of MA raised taxes to pay of debts < Taxes fell most heavily on farmers in western MA< Farmers rebelled - 1,200 marched to state arsenal < Governor sent forces to put down the rebellion < Other states saw this rebellion as a weakness of

Federalists and Republicans (1789-1816)In the first government under the Constitution, important new
institutions included the cabinet, a system of federal courts, and a national bank. Political parties gradually developed from the different
views of citizens in the Northeast, West, and South. The new government faced special challenges in foreign affairs, including the
War of 1812 with Great Britain.

Growth and Division (1816-1832)After the War of 1812, a new spirit of nationalism took hold in American society. A new national bank was chartered, and
Supreme Court decisions strengthened the federal government. New roads and canals helped connect the country. Industry
prospered in the North, while an agricultural economy dependent on slavery grew strong in the South. Regional
differences began to define political life.

The Spirit of Reform (1828-1845)Reform was a key theme of the 1830s and 1840s. Political
reform came with the growth of popular democracy. President Jackson’s election symbolized the new power of common
citizens. For many Americans, social or religious reform was a goal. Some wanted to end slavery. Others wanted to expand
education or women’s rights. Throughout this period, sectional rivalries grew more bitter.
