    Land past the Appalachians were reserved for the 

Native Americans. The British wanted to prevent a war 

with the Native Americans. The British made tight 

control of everything.

    I would stay on the east side of the Proclamation 

Line so if I need help I can get it

    This act put a 3 cent tax on foreign sugar and 

increased tax on coffee,indigo,and certain wines. 

Merchants didn't like this and were very vocal about it.

    I would boycott these items until they are untaxed or 

lowered in price.

    Quarter means to give a soldier shelter and food. The 

quartering act made colonists require to put soldiers in 

your home. Colonists were mad and felt they were too 

controlling.

    I would obey them and let the soldiers in my house 

because if not I could get arrested or worse.

    Payed taxes on most printed material.Colonists 

thought that there freedom had been threatened 

because they had no say in the acts.

    I would protest on letting us have a say in acts and 

not let them just happen.

    British put a indirect tax on imports and suspended 

NY meetings until the quartering act was obeyed. 

Colonists boycotted british goods. 

    I would also boycott these items because if the British 

don't get money, they will have to stop the act.

    Boston colonists began harassing troops. In 

retaliation, they opened fire on a crowd killing 5 and 

injuring others.

    I would have ran away because i wouldn't know if 

more were coming to kill us.
