🏰 La independencia de las Trece Colonias y el nacimiento de EE. UU.
Este párrafo narra la historia de la independencia de las Trece Colonias en América del Norte y la formación de los Estados Unidos. Se menciona la fundación de las primeras colonias en 1607 y la llegada de colonos en busca de mejores tierras y escape de la persecución religiosa en Europa. La Guerra de los Siete Años, ganada por Gran Bretaña pero costosa económicamente, llevó al aumento de impuestos en las colonias, lo que a su vez provocó la rebelión de los colonos. La reunión de representantes en Filadelfia resultó en la declaración de guerra a Inglaterra y la aprobación de la Declaración de Independencia el 4 de julio de 1776. Finalmente, en 1783, Gran Bretaña reconoció la soberanía de sus antiguas posesiones a través del Tratado de París.
📜 Las consecuencias económicas de la Guerra de los Siete Años y las respuestas de las colonias
Después de la victoria en la Guerra de los Siete Años, Gran Bretaña quedó económicamente débil y decidió imponer nuevos impuestos en las colonias para solucionar su crisis. Esto fue rechazado por los habitantes de las colonias, lo que empeoró con la estación permanente de un ejército británico en las colonias. El punto de inflexión fue la creación de un impuesto sobre el té en 1773, lo que llevó a la famosa 'Tea Party' de Boston. La respuesta del gobierno británico fue la aprobación de las Actas Intolerables, lo que incluyó la prohibición de elecciones locales y sanciones económicas. El Primer Congreso Continental se reunió en 1774, donde se aprobaron documentos que reconocían el derecho del Parlamento británico a regular el comercio exterior, pero también reclamaban la autonomía interna para las colonias sin interferencia.
🛡️ Mayor control británico y la influencia de la Ilustración
El texto describe cómo, después de la Guerra de los Siete Años, Gran Bretaña aumentó su control político y económico sobre las colonias, anular leyes locales y controlar los tribunales y las inspecciones de almacén. Además, la Ilustración, con sus ideas de igualdad, justicia y separación de poderes, influenció la independencia de las colonias. Los colonos, inspirados por estas ideas, buscaron establecer sociedades que se adaptasen a sus creencias, lo que se refleja en su forma de gobierno representativo y su rechazo a la imposición de impuestos y controles sin tener una representación en el Parlamento británico.
🗡️ La Segunda Guerra Continental y la Batalla de Bunker Hill
Este párrafo narra los eventos que llevaron a la Segunda Guerra Continental, comenzando con la batalla en Lexington y Concord en 1775, que marcó el inicio de la Guerra de Independencia. El Segundo Congreso Continental asumió funciones gubernamentales y organizó un ejército bajo el mando de George Washington. Aunque inicialmente las cosas parecían favorecer a los británicos, la Batalla de Bunker Hill en 1775 fue un punto de inflexión, donde las fuerzas rebeldes demostraron su resistencia y costaron la vida a 800 soldados británicos.
⚔️ Victoria en Saratoga y el apoyo internacional
La victoria en la Batalla de Saratoga en 1777 fue crucial, no solo por sus implicaciones militares sino también por el impacto propagandístico. La rendición del General Burgoyne a las fuerzas americanas fue seguida por el apoyo de Francia y España a la causa de la independencia de las colonias. La firma de un tratado de alianza con Francia en 1778 y la ayuda de España con armamento y financiación fortalecieron la posición de las colonias en el conflicto.
🏁 La rendición en Yorktown y la Declaración de Independencia
El párrafo finaliza con la rendición del General Cornwallis en Yorktown en 1781, que marcó el fin de la resistencia británica en las colonias y llevó al gobierno de Gran Bretaña a proponer la paz. La Declaración de Independencia, aprobada el 4 de julio de 1776 por el Segundo Congreso Continental, se convirtió en el símbolo de la nacimiento de los Estados Unidos de América. La declaración, elaborada por Thomas Jefferson y modificada por el Congreso, defendía los principios de igualdad y derechos inalienables, y establecía que los gobiernos deben tener el consentimiento de los ciudadanos para gobernar, pudiendo ser disueltos si no protegen los derechos del pueblo. La difusión de la declaración a través de volantes permitió su rápida propagación entre las colonias.

Transcripts
The independence of the thirteen colonies that Great Britain maintained in North America
resulted in the creation of the United States of America. The first of these colonies
had been established in 1607. Later, settlers seeking better land to
live in and others fleeing religious persecution in Europe formed the rest.
The colonial power, Great Britain, went to war with France in 1756. This confrontation,
known as the Seven Years' War, ended with a British victory,
but the expenses that the country had to bear caused it to be left in a very bad
economic situation. To alleviate it, they decided to increase taxes in the thirteen colonies.
The new tributes plus the British intention to increase political control over their
American colonies were two of the factors that caused the uprising of the colonists.
After a series of riots, representatives of the thirteen colonies met in Philadelphia
to declare war on England. In that same congress, the representatives
of the colonies promulgated the declaration of independence, which was approved on
July 4, 1776. The war, however, continued for several more years, until in 1783 Great Britain
recognized the sovereignty of its former possessions. through the Treaty of Paris.
Background
Although there were previous explorations, it was not until the 17th century that the British
began the colonization of North America. Little by little, they established some
colonies on the Atlantic coast. This whole process of colonization
was not planned by the British Crown, but it was the settlers themselves who
took the initiative. The Thirteen Colonies
The early British colonists could be broadly divided into two types. On the one hand,
there were the members of the privileged classes who wanted to take
economic advantage of the new territories. The second type was made up of
those who fled from the religious persecutions that had occurred in
Europe. These settlers wanted to form societies adapted to their beliefs,
which was essential to mark the character of the colonies.
The British Crown tried to maintain some control of the colonization. To do this,
he founded two trading companies: the London Company and the Bristol Company.
By 1773, the British had founded the so-called Thirteen Colonies: New Hampshire,
Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania,
Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia
. these colonies was not homogeneous. In addition to the English themselves, there were groups
of other nationalities, such as German, French, Flemish, Scottish or Irish.
Politically, these colonies opted for representative governments. Many of the
governors were appointed directly by the British Crown, but had to share their power
with an elected assembly. Only white male landowners had the right to vote.
Despite the high degree of autonomy of these colonies, the British government managed
its estates in them for profit. From 1750, the thirteen
colonies began to collaborate with each other and a sense of collective identity was born.
The Seven Years' War
While the Thirteen Colonies were consolidating, a war broke out in Europe that lasted between
1756 and 1763: the Seven Years' War. This conflict pitted Britain and her allies
against France and hers. The main cause was the dispute over control of Silesia and the
dispute over colonial primacy in North America. This war finally involved almost all the
powers of the time and its effects spread across all continents.
Great Britain was the winner of this war and, thanks to what was signed in the
Treaty of Paris of 1763, it managed, among other things, that France renounce its
aspirations over the 13 Colonies. Taxes and the Tea Party
Despite being victorious, the Seven Years' War had negative consequences
for Great Britain. At the end of the conflict, its economy was sunk and to solve it , it
approved a series of taxes on the colonies. The inhabitants of the colonies rejected these
new tributes. The situation worsened when the British established a
permanent army in the colonies with the aim of protecting them against a possible French attack.
This deployment caused new expenses and, consequently, the approval of
more taxes. The turning point came in 1773, when a tax was created on tea,
a drink considered basic. To protest this tax,
a group of settlers disguised themselves as Mohawk Indians and dumped the cargo
of tea stored on three ships in Boston Harbor into the sea. The British government, in retaliation,
banned local elections and imposed other economic sanctions. This
punishing legislation became known as the Intolerable Acts.
First Continental Congress The representatives of the colonists
met in the so-called First Continental Congress in September 1774.
Representatives elected by the different legislative bodies
of each colony, with the exception of Georgia, attended that congress. Among the participants in the Congress there was
a majority that demanded independence, although there were also defenders of the British monarch.
The result of the sessions was the approval of the Declaration of Rights and Grievances and of
a petition to the king. The two documents recognized that the British Parliament
had the right to regulate foreign trade, but pointed out that the colonies should manage
their internal affairs without interference. The supporters of total rupture
were not satisfied with these resolutions. For them, Great Britain did not have any type
of legal right over the colonies, beyond the respect due to the king.
The members of this congress approved a new meeting for something later,
the so-called Second Continental Congress. Causes of the independence of the thirteen colonies
The Seven Years' War unleashed a series of events that would lead to
the rebellion of the Thirteen Colonies against the colonial power, Great Britain.
That conflict between the main European powers ended with a British victory,
but that country was left in a very delicate economic situation. To try to overcome the crisis,
he imposed new taxes and laws on his American colonies. The inhabitants of these responded
with revolts, protests and riots. Imposition of taxes
The bad economic situation due to
the Seven Years' War caused the implementation of new taxes and laws in the 13 Colonies.
In 1764, the Sugar Law was passed, establishing that settlers could only buy sugar
from the English West Indies. In addition, the rates increased.
The following year, the British enacted the Stamp Act. Under this rule,
materials printed in the colonies had to be published on paper that was stamped and produced in
London. In addition, it is mandatory that they bear an embossed tax stamp.
Britain wanted to use the proceeds from that law to support the
troops it had deployed in the colonies. The imposition of these taxes caused
a serious incident in 1770, the Boston massacre. On March 5 of that year, a group
of protesters against the new rates was shot by several British soldiers.
In 1773, the aforementioned Tea Law and new taxes on
materials such as paint and glass were approved. All this discontent was aggravated because
the settlers did not have representatives in the bodies that made the decisions. The
phrase "no taxation without representation" was used to show that discontent: if they had
to pay taxes it was fair that they could have representatives in the British Parliament. Great
Britain refused his request. Greater British Control
Since their founding, the British colonies in North America had enjoyed considerable
political and economic autonomy. Thus, trade relations between them had developed
without any intervention from the metropolis. However, that began to change after
the Seven Years' War. To the aforementioned economic interventions was added the annulment
by Great Britain of some laws enacted by South Carolina and Virginia.
In addition, the British government began to control the courts of justice and ordered
inspections of warehouses and homes in case of suspicion of smuggling.
Influence of the Enlightenment
In addition to internal events, the independence of the Thirteen Colonies
was also influenced by the ideas of the time, specifically the Enlightenment.
The philosophers of the Enlightenment were spreading a new way of conceiving
the world, despite the fact that, with few exceptions, all European countries
were governed by absolute monarchies. The enlightened introduced concepts such as
equality, justice and separation of powers. The basis of his thought was rationalism
against the prevailing religious dogmas. Support from other countries
During their history, the colonies had established autonomous relations with other countries,
such as France, especially in the commercial field.
Once the war for independence broke out, the revolutionaries received
support from European powers who wanted to weaken the British.
France, defeated in the Seven Years' War, was the country that most supported
the settlers. To a lesser extent, Spain and the Netherlands would also collaborate in their struggle.
Development: war and independence from the United States
Although the requests of the First Continental Congress were not pro-independence,
the British response was negative. On the contrary, in the following months
some controlling laws were approved, the so-called Intolerable Laws.
Two years later, representatives of the colonies met in Philadelphia at
the Second Continental Congress. Second Philadelphia Congress
A battalion of English soldiers marched out of Boston on April 19, 1775, to prevent
a colonist militia from seizing an arms depot in neighboring Concord.
The 700 British soldiers clashed with some 70 militiamen in Lexington,
although no one knows which side started the attack. This battle became
the first of the War of Independence.
The British managed to control both Lexington and Concord, but on the way
back to Boston they were attacked by hundreds of volunteers from Massachusetts.
The following month, representatives of the colonies met in Philadelphia
at the Second Continental Congress. On this occasion, the congress assumed the functions of
government and approved the invasion of Canada, the appointment of fourteen generals and organized
an army. In command of this was named George Washington, a planter from Virginia.
Washington, who had military experience, was the candidate of John Adams before the distrust
that existed between many congressmen towards the fanaticism of Massachusetts.
The settlers began to recruit soldiers in all the colonies.
Most were farmers or hunters, with no prior military experience. Washington himself
went so far as to affirm that "we have recruited an army of generals, they do not obey anyone."
At the time, a matchup with Great Britain seemed lost in advance.
The British were one of the great powers of the time and their soldiers were professionals.
In 1778, his forces in North America reached 50,000 strong.
Bunker Hill
At first, the war seemed to go in favor of the British. This began to
change at the Battle of Bunker Hill, a place opposite Boston where the
two armies met in June 1775. The rebel troops, entrenched on the hill,
managed to withstand several British attacks. Although they finally managed to reach the top,
the confrontation cost the lives of 800 English soldiers. In addition, the settlers spread the
idea that they had withdrawn due to lack of ammunition and not because of enemy pressure.
After Bunker Hill, the rebels fortified another nearby hill,
Dorchester Heights. For this they used some cannons that they had taken from Fort Ticonderoga
and that were transferred by Colonel Henry Knox. Seeing the defenses raised,
British General William Howe gave the order to surrender and evacuate Boston on March 17, 1776.
July 4, 1776
The Continental Congress resolved on July 2, 1776 that “these United Colonies are,
and therefore right they should be, free and sovereign states”. Two days later, on July 4,
56 members of Congress approved the United States Declaration of Independence.
This declaration was printed on paper money and distributed throughout the colonies. The congress
also initiated contacts with other foreign powers to seek their recognition.
Given this, the British understood that they were not facing a simple local revolt,
which caused their government to take new measures to defeat the rebels.
Evacuation of Boston
The British, after evacuating Boston, concentrated the bulk of their troops in New
York, with a population that was supposed to be more favorable to the Crown. In the summer of 1776,
William Howe, leading the British army, arrived at the port of that city with 30,000 men.
The military's intention was to isolate New England from the other rebels and defeat
Washington's army in a single battle. However,
for the next two years he was unable to carry out his plan.
Despite the initial advantage in terms of the number of troops, Great Britain presented
some important disadvantages. For starters, his government had to direct its troops from
across the Atlantic, with all that that meant in terms of communications and logistics.
On the other hand, the kind of war he had to face was different from
what his army was used to. The extension of the territory was enormous
and the settlers developed almost guerrilla tactics, without a conventional center of hand.
Howe himself stated that he did not know how to deal with the situation "because the enemy
moves much faster than we are capable of."
The Battle of Saratoga The colonists achieved a great victory,
both military and propaganda, in October 1777. On the 17th of that month, British General
John Burgoyne surrendered in Saratoga, upstate in present-day New York.
Burgoyne's plan, supported by German mercenaries and by
Canadian Indian groups whose lands were being occupied by settlers,
was to cut off New England from the rest of the colonies and inflict as many casualties as he could.
To do this, he intended to go up the Hudson River valley from Montreal and
meet with the troops commanded by General Howe in Albany.
Burgoyne began to advance south from the Canadian forests with the aforementioned intention
of meeting up with British troops in New York. Howe was to arrive
in that city after attacking Philadelphia. The British military thought that,
with all their forces united, their victory against George Washington was certain.
However, Howe preferred to push south, and Burgoyne came under constant attack
from rebel militias. This prevented him from reaching New York and getting reinforcements.
Finally, he was isolated in New England, without supplies and
surrounded by a very large army. The general had no choice but to surrender.
Foreign aid The victory of the
rebels in Saratoga caused countries that were enemies of Great Britain to see the moment to make
up for what had happened in the Seven Years' War. France signed an alliance with the colonists in
February 1778, openly entering the war. This aid was, above all,
financial, although the French also sent their navy and ground troops.
Spain, for its part, helped the settlers with weapons, ammunition, and money. Initially,
it was not willing to participate militarily and even tried to mediate between the contenders.
The objective of the Spanish was to drive the British away from the Gulf of Mexico and the
banks of the Mississippi River, in addition to expelling them from their settlements in Central America.
End of the war
From 1778, the battle front moved south. France had already entered the war and
Spain ended up doing so after signing a secret agreement with the French in April 1779.
The consequences of the Franco-Spanish agreement were immediate. The British had
to divert troops to Gibraltar to defend it and the French ports
of Toulon and Brest were freed from the blockade imposed by the English navy.
France took advantage of these ports to send troops to America under the command of Rochambeau and La Fayette.
A fleet made up of French and Spanish ships participated in one of the
most decisive battles of the war, that of Cabo de Santa María (1780), which ended with the
capture of an English convoy carrying weapons, gunpowder, provisions and 1,000,000 of
sterling pounds in gold to his troops in North America. The last British holdout in the colonies,
in Virginia, was surrounded in 1781 by a French fleet and an American-French army
, all under the command of George Washington.
General Charles Cornwallis, in command of the British soldiers,
had to submit his surrender. Given this, the government of Great Britain proposed peace.
The Declaration of Independence
The Declaration of Independence of the United States of America was drafted by the Second
Continental Congress meeting in Philadelphia. Its approval took place on July 4, 1776
and proclaimed the end of British rule over the 13 Colonies that had been established
on the Atlantic coast of North America. With this declaration the United
States of America was born, although the end of the war of independence did not come until years later.
John Adams was one of the congressmen who promoted this process of independence. The
proposal was approved on July 2 unanimously by members of Congress. A committee was
in charge of drafting the formal declaration, which was voted on two days later.
Adams convinced the committee to put Thomas Jefferson in charge of the drafting,
although Congress made some changes to its final version.
Principles of the declaration The document made a public defense of
the need for the war of independence against Great Britain. In addition, it included an extensive list
of complaints against the English monarch, George III. In addition to the above, the Declaration explained
the philosophy with which they defended independence. Among those principles,
highly influenced by the Enlightenment, were the equality at birth of all men and
the inalienable rights they possessed, such as freedom, life or the pursuit of happiness.
Likewise, the document included the statement that governments can only carry out their work
with the consent of citizens and that it should be dissolved in the event that it ceased to
protect the rights of the people. Dissemination
As soon as it was approved, the document was printed on flyers, large sheets of paper that were very
popular at the time. In the midst of the war, these flyers were distributed throughout the colonies.
