This led to great losses in America but huge gains in Britain and this act infuriated many colonists. This was important because it started the disagreements for the revolution.

- The Stamp Act of 1765 was a small tax on anything from wills to dice. Even though this was a small tax, it was used to pay the funds for troops in America and if you broke it, you would go to a court with no jury to decide. This was done without the approval of the Colonies and even though it was small, it worried the colonists for what was ahead with Britain. This did not raise the current tensions that much.

- 6- 2nd Continental Congress
- Action against Britain by the colonies
- The Boston Massacre of 1770 was a skirmish that the colonists started by harassing and throwing things at the soldier for hours until finally he fired shots and they killed 5. This was then used as propaganda as the British killing innocent people and the importance of this was that it got colonists riled up even though this was propaganda and it showed that Britain was not scared of controlling America by any means which pushed the revolution to the front of every Americans mind.
- I am sad but as the same time angry and since I saw the propaganda, I will believe it and go against the British
- The intolerable acts were passed in 1774 and they were reinforcements to other acts like the quartering act and a response to the propaganda used in the Boston Massacre. It made people have less power and give more. This was the final attempt by the British and this made the conflict go to a point of no return. Because of this it was a revolution.
- I am the British and I am shocked by the fact that the colonies are not under control. This gets me scared and now I do not know what to do to control them anymore
- The second Continental Congress was an attempt to create a working government with the intent to create armies to fight against Britain. The significance of this was that this was the start of the independence of America whether Britain liked it or not.

- I am Britain and I did not think that this would happen. This is one of our biggest territories and I am a little scared but we have the biggest army, we will be fine!
