Directions: In order to be fully prepared for the Period 3 DBQ, we need to have a strong start and follow-through the Chapter 9 reading!

Absent? Just want to review the guided notes? Slides are linked here.

TLDR; We skipped Chapter 8, which was about the Revolutionary War itself. In history, we care more about the causes and effects of wars rather than the actual battles themselves.

The Revolutionary War refers to the actual reasons why we wanted to seek independence from Great Britain, whereas the American Revolution refers to what happened afterwards.
