Date-1763

In the Proclamation Line of 1763, the British restricted the 

colonists from traveling or staying West of the Appalachian 

Mountains. This allowed the British to put a tighter leash around 

the colonies, which caused the colonists to become frustrated 

since they couldn't settle in the land they just won. 

If I lived during this time, I would have been more than angry if I 

couldn't travel where I wanted to go. But even so, I wouldn't have 

done anything under the intimidation of British rule.

Date-1764

During the Sugar Act, the British placed a three cent tax on foreign 

refined sugar, and increased taxes on other goods imported to the 

colonies. It also banned the use of rum/French Wines. This affected 

certain parts of the population, including Merchants. The colonists 

wanted a say in the running of the government. 

If I was in this situation, I would disagree and become frustrated 

with the way the British were running things. 

Date-1765

During the Quartering Act, colonists were forced to let British troops 

stay in their homes. (Quarter-to house soldiers) The colonists were 

uncomfortable and suspicious of the soldiers living in their homes. 

The act caused the colonists to become angry since they didn't have a 

say in this. 

I personally would feel angry towards this act if i wouldn't have a say 

in it. I would have wanted to chove the troops out of my home. But 

again, I wouldn't do anything since we'd be so tangled up in the 

British government. 

Date-1765

The Stamp Act required colonists to pay taxes on printed good, 

and to place a stamp on the documents they bought to show 

they paid. This meant mail, marriage documents, newspapers, 

and more. The colonists were angered, they felt their freedom 

had been threatened since they had no say.

As usual, I would be angered if I felt my freedom had been 

threatened in this way. 

Date-1767

During this act, the new british Prime, Charles Townshend, 

imposed a small taxation of materials. Right away, the colonists 

recognized the act and realized it was an in just taxation. 

This time, I would have wanted to say something. This was an 

unfair taxation that nobody had a say on, I would definitely been 

angry. 

Date-March 5, 1770

On this date, a mob of colonists grouped together and began to 

harass British troops throwing things at them and shooting 

phrases. Then the troops opened fire right away, and the colonists 

were killed as the troops fired. The colonists believed, after this act, 

that the British were completely at fault, and they demanded that 

the troops be removed. 

Like everyone else, I would have been angered, and believed the 

British were completely at fault. To me, they had no right to just 

shoot at colonists, even if they were being mocked.
