Revolutionary War DBQ

Students analyze 16 documents, answer 16 historical context questions, complete a sorting chart, and write a DBQ essay to review the causes of the Revolutionary War (American Revolution). There are 8 essay prompts for students choose from (one allows for the class or teacher to make one of their own). The answers are included where appropriate and the initial analysis part would be great for a sub! ***Some of the sourcing is a bit generalized so that students have to place it in the historical context/event themselves.***

Sample questions include:
--Which category of causes of the war would Document 2 fall in and why?
--Would Inglis have supported the Revolutionary War, why or why not?
--Summarize the historical context of the three images and explain why there are differences between them.
--Identify the reason for the taxes mentioned in Document 7, and explain the crux of the argument in your own words to demonstrate understanding.
--What issue was at stake in Document 10? How does it connect to the causes of the Revolutionary War?
--Did Document 12 create more support between the crown and colonies or more division and why?
--Identify the main point of Document 16, and then given that main point, explain why Ben Franklin’s Albany Plan of Union fell through in 1754.
