US History – Continuity and Change in the Revolutionary Period, 1754-1800

In this course, Professor Ed Gray (Florida State University) explores continuity and change in the revolutionary period from 1754 to 1800. In the first module, we take a look at what North America looked like in 1763. After this, we turn to look at the origins of the American Revolution. In the third module, we look at the war itself and examine how the colonists were able to defeat the most powerful nation in the world - Great Britain. In the penultimate module, we look at the two Constitutions of the early United States in an international context. In the final module, we examine the consequences of the revolutionary period for how the United States interacted with the rest of the world.

North America in 1763

In this module, we examine what America looked like in 1763, focusing in particular on: (i) how the Seven Years' War transformed the geo-political landscape of North America; (ii) what the British colonies looked like in 1763, with a particular focus on the differing colonial economies; (iii) how did the colonies differ based on what region they were in; (iv) how did the different labour systems of the colonies affect their society.
