Storyboard Descrizione

US Territorial Expansion - The Original 13 Colonies - To understand and holistically perceive the history of territorial expansion throughout the United States, one must first examine the acquisition of the original 13 colonies. Acquired after victory in the American Revolution, the original 13 colonies serve as the foundation to not only America, but its future as well. Here, ideas of expansion and notions of manifest destiny soon take hold. Students can use the frayer model example to explain and analyze the basic thematic concepts surrounding the colonies, including the cause of acquisition, its effects, the colonies purpose, and the culture that existed there.

  • CAUSES
  • EFFECTS
  • The formation of the original 13 colonies stems from the American Revolution. As colonists became fed up with British policy, they rebelled, aiming to control not only their own lives, but their own lands. It was the first step in America's eventual expansion across North America.
  • PURPOSE
  • ORIGINAL 13 COLONIES
  • As a result of the American Revolution, colonists secured control over the original 13 colonies of the United States. The U.S. experienced a rocky start, as unifying and operating the vastly different colonies proved difficult. However, with ambition and determination, the young country eventually established itself.
  • CULTURE
  • Acquiring control of the 13 original colonies was imperative to the colonists who wanted stability for later generations. The land was plentiful, and provided much opportunity. Furthermore, the territory stretched all the way to the Mississippi, via the Ohio River, providing key trade routes.
  • Culture within the colonies differed greatly. Each colony had various religions, races, and customs. Each colony and region had distinct economic purposes as well: farming, lumber, fishing, or business. They also had an important function in the initial founding and maintenance of the new United States. They would rally around the idea of further expansion and success.
