Proclamation Line of 1763
No, you can't settle west the Appalachian Mountains!
But we just won a seven year war againstthe French so that we could settle there!
Yes, but we don't want a bad relationship with theIndians there, son we reserved that land for them
Sugar Act
In 1764, England set a tax on sugar, coffee,
indigo, and some wines. Because of the
taxation, the colonists started to think they
wanted their own government, who wouldn't
tax them. The Sugar Act was one of the first
instances where the colonists felt a gap
between themselves and England.
Quartering Act
I'm going to live here now!
In the quartering act, which happened in
1765, England forced colonists to take English
soldiers into their homes. As if that wasn't
horrible enough for the colonists, England also
made them pay for the soldier's food, and
other necessities.
Stamp Act
I can't believe these stupid British! Aftereverything they've already done, now
they are making us pay taxes on printed
items, without giving us any say!
Date: 1765
Townshend ActIn 1767, England's king set an indirect tax
on glass, lead paper, and tea on the colonists.
The colonists recognized the tax immediately.
The colonists' representatives were enraged,
and they decided to boycott England. (Not buy
their goods)
Just pay for these here goods!
We don't want your goods
Boston Massacre
The Boston massacre occurred on March 5th,
1770, when a mob of colonists started
harassing British troops by throwing snowballs
at them. When the situation began getting out
of hand, the British soldiers opened fire, killing
5 colonists. The event deepened the gap
between the two sides, and ended with having
the British soldiers removed from the colonist's
homes.
