  - - - SUGAR ACT(1764)- It was a tax on sugar. It was to reduced the price (sugar) to reduce smuggling. It was a law that attempted to curb the smuggling of sugar and molasses in the colonies by reducing the previous tax rate and enforcing the collection of duties.
        
        STAMP ACT (1765)- Anything printed on paper, needed a stamp to show that tax wuz paid. Revenue for Britian ( pay for the war debt). The new tax was imposed on all American colonists and required them to pay a tax on every piece of printed paper they used. Ship's papers, legal documents, licenses, newspapers, other publications, and even playing cards were taxed. The main reasons was to raise money for British troops who were stationed in North America in order to protect the new land won in the war and prevent uprising from the French colonists living there.
        
        TOWNSHED ACT(1767)- It suspened the New York assembly and the tax on items. It was a response back to the Stamp Act. (New York protesed to raise revenue). Colonist got angry over another tax without represenatation. ( Colonist boycotted goods, and formed Daughters of Liberty). Reappled in 1770, except for tax on tea. It also was a series of laws passed by the British government on the American colonies in 1767.

The act stated that troops could only be housed in camps and if there wasn't enough space in barracks(camps) then they were to be quartered(housed) in public houses and inns. It required the colonies to house British soldiers in barracks provided by the colonies. And like in the begining of the barracks were too small to house all the soldiers, then localities were to accommodate the soldiers in local inns, livery stables, ale houses, victualling houses, and the houses of sellers of wine.
        
        TEA ACT(1773)- Lowered tax on tea to get rid of excess product from the British East India Company. The purpose was to save the company. The Boston Tea Party happened ( Mobs imidation of tea agents like tar and feathering). The Tea Act, passed by Parliament on May 10, 1773, granted the British East India Company Tea a monopoly on tea sales in the American colonies. The passing of the Tea Act imposed no new taxes on the American colonies. he act's main purpose was not to raise revenue from the colonies but to bail out the floundering East India Company, a key actor in the British economy.
        
        INTOLERABLE ACTS- The Intolerable Acts were punitive(intended as punishment) laws passed by the British Parliament in 1774 after the Boston Tea Party. The laws were meant to punish the Massachusetts colonists for their defiance in the Tea Party protest in reaction to changes in taxation by the British to the detriment of colonial goods. The purpose was to restore authority in its colonies.
      - COLONIES RESISTANCE (1765)
        
        SONS/DAUGHTERS OF LIBERTY- They had secret code words, medals, and symbols. Originally formed in response to the Stamp Act, their activities were far more than ceremonial. It was the Sons of Liberty who ransacked houses of British officials. Threats and intimidation were their weapons against tax collectors, causing many to flee town. The Daughters of Liberty consisted of women who displayed their patriotism by participating in boycotts of British goods following the passage of the Townshend Acts. While the Sons of Liberty, the British created so many taxs and put them on the american colonist.
        
        HOMESPUN MOVEMENT- It was to abstain from buying British goods. Women had a great imapact, they hosted spinning parties,women buy household gold: lead to the tea boycott. It was only socially acceptable way for women to protest.The Homespun Movement served the Continental Army by producing clothing and blankets for the soldiers. During the Revolution, buying American products became a patriotic gesture.
        
        BOYCOTTS- The colonist became free-spirited and did not want their mother country to dominate all of their decisions. Therefore, leading to revolts other than British Goods and led to a greater revolution. It can be said the boycotts led to unreversible tension in which resulted in the American Revolution. It purpose of the boycotts were to encourage both to save money and to force Britain to repeal the duties.
        
        BOSTON MASSACRE- The Boston Massacre had a major impact on relations between Britain and the American colonists. It further incensed colonists already weary of British rule and unfair taxation and roused them to fight for independence. he cause of the Boston Massacre was the Boston colonists didn't like having British solders in their city so they starting throwing snowballs. The effect of the Boston Massacre was five people died. The cause of the Boston Tea Party was the colonists didn't want taxed tea.
        
        BOSTON TEA PARTY- The Boston Tea Party was a protest organized aganist the British. All the colonist dressed up as Indians and snuck on board in the British ships on the harbor.

        DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE
        
        DECLARATION of INDEPENDENCE- it was adopted in july 4,1776. It was written by Thomas Jefferson. It was signed by represenatives from the colonies. (They are techincally commiting treason. punishable by excution by signing). It uses many Enlightment Ideas. (social contract and Natural rights.)
        
        NATURAL RIGHTS- The natural rights are Life,Liberty and Property. Among these basic natural rights, Locke said, are "life, liberty, and property." Locke believed that the most basic human law of nature is the preservation of mankind. To serve that purpose, he reasoned, individuals have both a right and a duty preserve their own lives. Human nature slefish, but people are rational. People can remove ruler if ruler abuse the power, second trreatise of government. Jefferson uses these to pursit to happiness. John Locke belived in this theory.
        
        SOCIAL CONTRACT- The ruler has the power over the people and should be fair. Hobbes thought the total power should go to the ruler and people have no power to rebel. Locke thought that the government has limited power to chnage people's desires. ccording to other social contract theorists, when the government fails to secure their natural rights (Locke) or satisfy the best interests of society (called the "general will" by Rousseau), citizens can withdraw their obligation to obey, or change the leadership through elections.
        
        AMERICAN REVOLUTION
        
        PATRIOTS- Patriots were those colonists of the Thirteen Colonies who rejected British rule during the American Revolution and declared the United States of America as an independent nation in July 1776. A patriot is someone who loves and who has sometimes fought for his or her country. On July 4, 1776, the 13 colonies claimed their independence from England, an event which eventually led to the formation of the United States. Each year on the fourth of July, also known as Independence Day, Americans celebrate this historic event.
        
        LOYALIST- Loyalists were American colonists who stayed loyal to the British Crown during the American Revolutionary War, often called Tories, Royalists, or King's Men at the time. They were opposed by the "Patriots", who supported the revolution. Loyalists wanted to pursue peaceful forms of protest because they believed that violence would give rise to mob rule or tyranny. They also believed that independence would mean the loss of economic benefits derived from membership in the British mercantile system.
        
        GEOGRAPHIC KNOWLEDGE OF LAND- Geography played a major role in the american revolution. The terrain of the colonies proved a major obstacle for the British redcoats. Trained for open field battle, they were ill-prepared for the dense forestry that covered the east coast of America. It also helped the colonist by helping them use the land they've known, either by hiding or launching clever attacks, against the British.
