Webisode 1: Independence. Introduction. Or a century and a half Britain, the mother country, and the North American colonies, her children, were as close as a parent and children could be.
What happened to change that relationship? Perhaps the colonies outgrew childhood and wanted the independence that adults enjoy. The trouble began after the French and Indian War, which left Britain with tremendous debt. Why shouldn't the colonists pay some of that debt? To the colonists, the answer was easy: They shouldn't have to pay for it because they had no representation in the British Parliament that levied the taxes for the colonists to pay. To be subject to laws in which they had no voice amounted to tyranny. Parliament tried to tax sugar and tea. In 1775, Patrick Henry expressed the indignation of many who until this time considered themselves British subjects. That is exactly what the delegates to the Second Continental Congress did on July 4, 1776. In signing, they risked their lives and fortunes.

"The Bostonians paying the excise-man, or tarring and feathering." A 1774 British print depicted the tarring and feathering of Boston Commissioner of Customs John Malcolm.
Tarring and feathering was a ritual of humiliation and public warning that stopped just short of serious injury. Victims included British officials such as Malcolm and American merchants who violated non-importation by importing British goods. Other forms of public humiliation included daubing victims’ homes with the contents of cesspits, or actual violence against property, such as the burning of stately homes and carriages.
This anti-Patriot print showed Customs Commissioner Malcolm being attacked under the Liberty Tree by several Patriots, including a leather-aproned artisan, while the Boston Tea Party occurred in the background. In fact, the Tea Party had taken place four weeks earlier. US History. Library - Gooru. National Atlas Home Page. The National Map is now offering a collection of small-scale datasets that can be downloaded for free.
Although the 1997-2014 Edition of the National Atlas of the United States was retired in September 2014, The National Map recognizes the importance of continuing to make a collection of the small-scale datasets, originally developed for the National Atlas, available to users. Small-scale maps have an advantage over large-scale maps when there is a need to show a large area in a single view. This makes small-scale maps an ideal solution for scientists, decision-makers, and planners needing to provide a geographical context for the research projects. Generally, certain geographical and feature details found in large-scale maps are limited or omitted in small-scale maps. Freedom: A History of US. Tools & Activities. Games.
