THE STAMP ACT, THE COERCIVE ACTS, THE BOSTON TEA PARTY, BRITISH ATTACKS ON…
THE STAMP ACT
-
Adverse colonial reaction to the Stamp Act ranged from boycotts of British Goods and riots and attacks tax collectors.
-
-
THE COERCIVE ACTS
-
The Intolerable Acts were aimed at isolating Boston, the seat of the most radical anti-British sentiment, from the other colonies. Colonists responded to the Intolerable Acts with a show of unity, convening the First Continental Congress to discuss and negotiate a unified approach to the British.
-
-
THE BOSTON TEA PARTY
American colonists responded with protests and coordinated resistance by convening the First Continental Congress in September and October of 1774 to petition Britain to repeal the Intolerable Acts.

THE BOSTON MASSACRE
-
After the Boston Massacre, the colonists reestablished the committees of correspondence. These committees served the purpose of letting others throughout the colonies know about important events that were happening. The colonists were also more watchful over the British and their activities.
-
-
THE TOWNSHEND ACTS
Riotous protest of the TOWNSHEND Acts in the colonies often invoked the phrase no taxation without representation. Colonists eventually decided not to import British goods until the act was repealed and to boycott any goods that were imported in violation of their non-importation agreement.

LEXINGTON AND CONCORD
Lexington and Concord led many Americans to support the 'revolution'. For John Adams, these battles were the moment 'the Die was cast, the Rubicon crossed'. They also showed that American citizen soldiers could stand up to redcoats; something previously doubted by many on both sides.
