The British announced the land they won in the war 

would be reserved for Native Americans and they 

weren't allowed to settle there. The colonists were 

angered because they couldn't move westward. The 

control and maintain of the colonies became tighter 

and stricter than ever before.

This Act put an act on foreign refined sugar 

and increased taxes on coffee, indigo, and 

certain kinds of wine. The sellers of these 

goods became angered and wanted a say in 

their government.

Colonists had to take British soldiers in 

their homes, against their own will and 

take care of them during the war. The 

colonists didn't like this because nobody 

asked for their approval before passing 

the act. They felt like they were invading 

privacy.

The British passed the act in 

which made the colonists pay 

taxes on printed items, at 

purchase a stamp was placed 

on the product to prove they 

had paid the full cost of the 

item

Charles Townshend imposed an 

indirect tax on glass, lead, paper, and 

tea. He hoped the colonists wouldn't 

find out. However they recognized it 

and organized a boycott against 

British goods. 

Colonists were harrasing British soldiers by 

throwing snowballs at them. The soldiers saw it 

as a threat and began to attack the colonists with 

gunfire. It deepened the gap between the 

colonists and British and the British soldiers were 

tried for murder.
