http://www.tomrichey.net Mr. Richey discusses the events leading to the American Revolution from the Boston Tea Party through the battles of Lexington and Concord. This is the second part of my lecture on the "Long Train of Abuses and Usurpations" leading to the American Revolution. The first part is available here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dV0I2WvpGRw This content is aligned with South Carolina standards in US History (USHC 1.2) for those students preparing for the US History EOC. USHC-1.2 Analyze the early development of representative government and political rights in the American colonies, including the influence of the British political system and the rule of law as written in the Magna Carta and the English Bill of Rights, and the conflict between the colonial legislatures and the British Parliament over the right to tax that resulted in the American Revolutionary War.
