Assess students' ability to analyze the political, economic, and social causes of the American Revolution and evaluate its short- and long-term consequences. Students should identify and compare multiple causes (e.g., taxation, representation, imperial policy, social tensions), examine impacts on different groups (colonists, Loyalists, enslaved people, Indigenous peoples, women), use primary and secondary evidence to support claims, and construct a clear written argument linking causes to outcomes; designed for Grades 6–8 with emphasis on causal chains and perspective-taking.
