The Magna Carta 

limited the king's 

powers and gave 

basic civil rights to 

citizens.

This was the the first 

permanent colonial 

settlement.

This was the first 

representative 

assembly in the 

American colonies.

Signed by the men who 

sailed to America on 

the Mayflower, which 

called for the good of 

the colony and set the 

idea of self 

government.

North-eastern part of the 

colonies (New Hampshire, 

Massachusetts, Rhode 

Island, Connecticut) This 

region forced education 

and religion upon the 

children.

So called "Melting pot" of 

the 3 colonial regions 

(New York, New Jersey, 

Delaware, Pennsylvania) 

This region relied solely 

on it's lumber exports 

and crop growth.

(Virginia, Maryland, 

North Carolina, South 

Carolina, Georgia) In this 

region, slavery WAS 

their economy. There 

was fertile soil where 

slaves grew crops such 

as cotton, wheat, and 

corn.

This was the war 

fought between 

Britain and France 

over land disputes 

of North America.

This document ended 

the French and Indian 

War and handed over all 

land France had claimed 

as its own.

Colonists can 

go west now!!!

Prohibited American 

colonists from settling 

west of the Appalachian 

Mountains.

Placed taxes on sugar, 

molasses, and other 

products. It also called 

for harsh punishment of 

smugglers.

This law forced colonists 

to house British soldiers 

during the American 

Revolution.

This law called for a 

required stamp showing 

proof of purchase on all 

imported goods to the 

colonies.

This was a series of 

laws that suspended 

New York assembly 

and established taxes 

on goods imported to 

British colonies.

The Boston Massacre 

was a clash between 

soldiers and Boston 

colonists in which 5 

colonists (including 

Crispus Attucks) were 

killed.

This was the 

dumping of 342 

chests of tea into 

Boston harbor by 

colonists in 1773 to 

protest the Tea Act.

These laws were created 

to punish Massachusetts 

colonists for the Boston 

Tea Party.

This was the first battle 

fought of the American 

Revolution.

This was a document in 

which the colonists 

declared Independence 

from Britain.

This battle was the turning point 

of the American Revolution (first 

battle the Americans won).

This battle was the last 

fought of the American 

Revolution.

This was the Article 

adopted by the 

Continental Congress in 

1777 and finally approved 

by the states in 1781.

This was the treaty that 

ended the Revolutionary 

War, confirming 

Independence of U.S. 

and setting boundaries of 

the new nation. 

It described how the Northwest territory 

was to be governed and set conditions for 

settlement and settler's rights.

The Constitutional Convention's 

agreement to establish a two-

house national legislature, with 

all states having equal 

representation in one house and
