1763, During the Proclamation Line of 1763, the land 

west of the Appalachian Mountains would be 

reserved for Native Americans. This managed tighter 

control over the colonists more than ever before.

After The French and Indian War, King George III 

issued the Proclamation Line of 1763 so that it 

created a boundary between colonists and Native 

Americans. After the War, They had to make a way to 

gain money to recover all the damage that had been 

created by the Seven's Years War.

I would've probably been   really mad since they

had to pay extra for all the tax to fix up all 

damage from the War between The French and

Indians.

During 1764, the Sugar Act, a 3-cent 

tax of foreign refined sugar and 

increased taxes on coffee, indigo and 

wines. It banned importation of rum and 

French wines. Created without colonists 

say, so they were pretty furious.

Once again, taxes without being told. Making 

colonists furious. The British did this because 

they needed more money for all the things 

they had to pay for.

If I were a colonist, I would've been 

pretty upset . I can tell they were because 

they started a boycott to British. They 

spread the word, thinking the British 

would lower the prices.

The Quartering Act of 1765 infuriated the 

colonists even more. The Act spoke saying how 

Soldiers could go into any colonist's home and 

stay there for as long as they want to. This 

affected may people's personal life. This also 

lead to the 3rd Amendment because it says how 

Soldiers cannot one break into someones home 

without permission.

One of the Soldiers asked for a place 

to live. The Act was beyond what he 

asked for, but it was still passed. 

During War time, They had they're 

places, during peace time, they used

 colonist's home.

If I were a colonist there, I would be 

furious because I like my personal space. 

If a Soldier took my home, I would 

probably not be able to do anything, but Ignore them.

Anything written on paper needed a stamp that was 

BOUGHT from the English. So This required for the 

colonists to pay a tax on all printed materials. Colonists 

had to purchase a stamp and place it on any printed 

document to prove that the person has paid.

If I were there, I think I would've 

been okay with the Act, but I would 

probably be a little bit mad since I 

had to pay for something I wrote, or 

just any document for a stamp.

This Contributed with The 

American Revolution, because 

once again, they used this for 

the tax to pay bills. By 

passing the Stamp Act 

without consulting the 

colonial legislation, the 

parliament had ignored the 

colonial tradition of self-

governing. 

During 1767, The Townshend Act imposed 

a small amount of indirect tax on glass, 

lead, papers, etc etc. The colonists were 

infuriated so they organized a boycott of 

British goods under the Stamp Act.

Contributed by importing tax so they could 

collect more money. The colonists felt that the 

Townshend Acts were taxes in disguise and 

stopped buying British goods

If I were a colonist at this time, I 

would've been really mad, so I would've 

stopped buying goods from the British as 

well as the other colonists.

1770, A British harassed a British Troop by 

throwing snowballs at them. They were infuriated 

so he shot a bullet straight at him. He died.

It contributed to the American Revolution because the killing of 

five colonist angered the Americans. This event was also used as a 

reason of why the colonist should break away from a corrupt 

English government that were trying to take away the colonist 

basic rights. 

If I were a colonist there, I would've been scared to be 

walking around and be shot, so I would stay indoors at 

all times.
