Unit 6: Independence Movements (1763-1830)
This is our first in depth unit as we investigate various independence movements here in the Americas. As we look at the revolutions throughout the Western hemisphere, we will compare and contrast the causes and effects that they had on the people that fought for their independence. This unit was covered last year in your World History classes, so hopefully some of the names and events will be familiar.
