The conflict between Great Britain and the American Colonies
The Stamp Act
Townshend Act
The Boston Massacre
Boston Tea Party
Intolerable Acts
Customs House
This was the first instigator of the rising tension between colonies
call for resistance against the attackers
more taxes = more money for the government on legalizing papers/any paper at all = needed stamps
one of the first protests against British decisions on law
Lots of backlash for tea taxes
disguised "Indians" so they could throw the tea overboard
wanted the opposite of what it got
the two opposing sides seem to have completely different views on what actually happened
at least 2 people had died and several injured
considered a British attack on defenseless civilians
indirect taxes
taxes on literally everything
still received quite a bit of backlash
Made it so the american colonies were punished if they broke the law
declaration of colonial rights
