Road to Revolution
End of F.I. War (1763)
Was the North American conflict in a larger imperial war between Great Britain and France allied with the indians
The war provided Great Britain land in North America, but disputes over paying the war's expenses led to colonial disputes over taxes being raised in the colonies.
Boston Tea Party (1773)
Members of the Sons of Liberty dumped crates of tea into Boston harbor as a protest against the Tea Act and its provisions for taxation of tea from Britain.
King George was furious about the Boston Tea Party and closed the harbor and took away their self government until all the tea was paid for. The effect was these acts just stirred up more british hating feelings.
Boston Massacre (1770)
was a street fight that occurred between a "patriot" mob, throwing snowballs, stones, and sticks, and a squad of British soldiers.
Several colonists were killed and this led to a campaign by speech-writers to rouse the ire of the citizenry.
Stamp Act (1765)
-
lead to an uproar in the colonies over an issue that was to be a major cause of the Revolution: taxation without representation.
Quartering Acts
required the colonies to house British soldiers in barracks provided by the colonies. They were not asked but forced to house soldiers they despised.
The colonists were being taxed to pay for provisions – a army that they thought was unnecessary during peace and an army that they feared
Boston Port Act (1774)
shut down the port of Boston for trade. British ships blockaded Boston Harbor, punishing everyone who lived in Boston, both patriots and loyalists for the Boston Tea Party incident
This angered not only people in Boston, but also people in other colonies who were afraid the British would do the same thing to them. They couldn't pay back since trade was not a option
