- The French and Indian War or the Seven Years War was fought between the English and the French and Native Americans from 1756-1763. The English won the war and France gave up all of its lands in North America. This can be one factor that led to the revolution because it caused unrest between the colonists and the Natives about land.
- The Boston Massacre
- Customs House
- The Stamp Act was enacted in 1765 by the British government on the colonists of America. The Stamp act made it required to have a stamp on any government-issued papers. The colonists had to pay a tax for every stamp. The colonists boycotted British goods, causing British businesses to go bankrupt and leading to the British repealing the Stamp Act later that month.
- The Boston Tea Party
- Dump the tea!
- The Townshend Acts were a series of acts enacted between 1767 and 1768. There were five of them. The first was the New York Restraining Act. The second was the Revenue Act. The third was the Indemnity Act. The fourth was the Commissioners of Customs Act. The fifth was the Vice-Admiralty Court Act.
- The Coercive/Intolerable Acts
- No! This is unfair!
- Treason!
- The Boston Massacre was an incident between the British Army and the people of Boston. A crowd of colonists was heckling British guards at the Customs House. The colonists began throwing things like snowballs, ice, glass, and oyster shells at the soldiers. Eventually, the soldiers became overwhelmed and fired, leaving 5 people dead.
- Damn you! Why do you fire?
- The Boston Tea Party was a protest against the Tea Act, which only allowed the colonies to buy tea from the British East India Company and raised taxes on tea. Around 50 members of the Sons of Liberty dressed up as Mohawk Indians and boarded ships in Boston Harbor full of tea. They then proceeded to dump 342 crates of tea, equivalent to 90,000 pounds at the time or 1 million dollars today. There was nobody to stop them because British troops were pulled out of Boston after the Boston Massacre.
- The Coercive/Intolerable Acts were a series of harsh acts enforced by the British after the Boston Tea Party. Some of the things that these acts included: closing Boston's harbor, revoking Massachusetts's government, giving British soldiers biased trials in England, and allowing British troops to take over buildings.
- Allow us to occupy this house! It is part of the Coercive Acts!
