  • DOWN WITH THE STAMP ACT! NO TAXATION WITHOUT REPRESENTATION!
  •

  • The Quartering Act
  • Leave our house!
  • No! As your colony's protectors you must let us live here by law!
  • King George III made a law that prevented the colonists from going west of a line he had made through America. The Native Americans got the whole other side to themselves. This was meant to appease the Natives, but angered colonist landowners who lost land from this proclamation.
  • Boston Massacre
  • The Stamp Act was a tax imposed by the British that was put on paper and many other things. It was meant to pay for the costs of the French and Indian War, but the colonists were angry that they had no say in what the British taxed. Eventually, the British relented, but also passed a law that allowed them to make more taxes without permission from the American colonists.
  • Boston Tea Party
  • No more taxation! Down with the tea tax!
  • 
  • The British forced the colonists to provide British troops with food, supplies, and shelter whenever the British wanted it. The colonists were outraged by this.
  • Coercive Acts
  • By order of the King, all Massachusetts courts and governments are dissolved!
  • A small brawl between British troops and colonists turned deadly when the soldiers opened fire on the mob. The colonists tried to make the incident look more like a massacre, though both sides were at fault. Regardless, tensions began to boil.
  • Why don't you fire, you fools?
  • I didn't say "Fire"!
  • We heard you say "Fire"!
  • To protest a tea tax and monopoly, the colonists threw crates of tea from 3 ships into the harbor, which angered the British.
