Door24 History S01 EP07 Articles of ConfederationIn July 1776, the representatives of the Continental Congress voted for independence from Great Britain. To win a war against the most powerful country on earth was going to take more than a simple vote. Congress immediately went to work to create a national government to oversee the war. After several drafts and debates, in 1777 Congress approved John Dickinson’s Articles of Confederation. At this time, states thought of themselves as independent countries and many feared being tied to an all-powerful national government. Hence, it was not until 1781 that the last state ratified the Articles making it the official fi...

Door24 History S01 EP06 Coercive ActsThe American colonies rebelled against the Stamp Act and the Townshend Acts. Colonial patriots opposed taxes passed by members of Parliament who lived an ocean away. In 1770, friction between colonists and British soldiers culminated in the deaths of five people in the Boston Massacre. Then Parliament passed the Tea Act designed to give special tax-exempt status to the British East India Company to sell tea in the colonies that threatened to put many colonial merchants out of business. On December 16, 1773, members of the political action group Sons of Liberty boarded British ships in Boston Harbor and dumped British tea into...

Door24 History S01 EP05 Boston MassacreIn March 1770, British soldiers fired into a crowd of colonists on the streets of Boston. Tensions had been rising for months. In 1767, Parliament passed the Townshend Acts that placed a duty on British imported glass, lead, paper, paint, and tea. Many colonists resented any tax passed by Parliament that circumvented the approval of the colonial legislatures. “No taxation without representation” became the rallying cry of Patriots who increasingly distanced themselves from British authority. When customs officials complained to Parliament of disorder and harassment in Boston, Massachusetts, Parliament reacted by sending 2,000 British soldiers into Boston to keep the peace. Rath...

Door24 History S01 EP04 The Stamp ActIn 1763, the French and Indian War came to an end. A nine year war that became the first global conflict in human history. As part of the peace treaty, France gave its territorial holdings in North America to Great Britain. Although the victor, Britain had amassed a huge debt to finance the war. Now, to ease its financial burden, Britain turned to its American colonies to finance the peace. In 1765, Parliament, the legislative body of the British Empire, passed the Stamp Act—a tax on most paper goods sold in the colonies. Newspapers, marriage licenses, playing cards, and an...

Door24 History S01 EP03 The Ohio ValleyBetween 1754 and 1763, the world saw its first global conflict known in America as the French and Indian War. France and Britain, mortal enemies, began fighting over the Ohio Valley—a vast area of land between the Mississippi River and the British held American colonies on the East Coast. Soon, Spain, Austria, Prussia, Sweden, and Russia entered the conflict. Fighting took place in North America, Europe, Africa, and Asia. By 1763, after suffering numerous losses, France gave in. Under the terms of the Treaty of Paris of 1763, France lost its North American possessions, including the Ohio Valley, to the British. Ho...

Door24 History S01 EP02 SalemWitch hysteria began in Europe in the 1300s. In 1484, Pope Innocent VIII issued a papal bull or order that directly involved the Catholic Church in the hunt for witches to protect society and the Church. In 1487, two monks wrote a book called the Malleus Maleficarum (mal ee us | ma lef uh kair em) or the Hammer of Witches. The authors argued that witchcraft was real, not superstition. They gave details on how to identify, capture, and punish witches. Witch hunts led to the arrest, torture, and execution of tens of thousands of people until the end of the 17th century.

Door24 History S01 EP01 Magna CartaHow did democracy find its way to America? In 48 BCE, Julius Caesar was the last Roman leader alive after a tumultuous civil war. For most historians, this was the end of the Roman Republic and democracy in the ancient world. For the next several hundred years, Rome would be ruled by a series of emperors before Rome too would collapse ushering in centuries of uncertainty as states rose and fell over the centuries across Europe. On an island off the coast of France that the Romans called Britannia Maximus or Great Britain, a king was stirring...
