After the American Revolution... We Won! Now What? Powerpoint

This powerpoint picks up where the last battle of the American Revolution ended. What does baby America do? This powerpoint leads students through the Articles of Confederation and its limits, Shay's Rebellion and then the creation of the Constitution in Philadelphia. Three major questions are discussed in the slides: representation (resulting in the Great Compromise), slavery (resulting in the 3/4s Compromise) and how to elect a president (resulting in the Electoral College). Lastly, students learn a little about Benjamin Franklin's closing thoughts at the end of Constitutional Convention and his hope for America. Great powerpoint for history or government classes.
