The Sugar Act of 1764 was 

important   because it led to the 

Revolutionary War. The taxes 

increased on goods like sugar, 

indigo, coffee,and certain types of 

wine.I would grow my own coffee 

and indigo so I wouldn't have to pay 

taxes.

The Quartering Act forced colonists to help 

Britain by housing British soldiers   and 

supplying them so Britain would spend less 

money and put debt on colonists. The colonist 

did not want to supply the British and care for 

them. Colonists thought they were being spied 

upon. If I had to shelter the Red coats I 

wouldn't if I could barely shelter myself and 

my family.

This act gave Britain the power to put a  tax 

on most printed items, such as news 

paper,books,and e.t.c . The colonists had to 

have a stamp to prove that they paid their 

taxes. Colonists were angry and protested by 

boycotting British goods. Colonist demanded 

Parliament repeal the new law. I would do 

the same thing that the colonists are doing, 

and refuse to by British goods.

The Townshend Act consisted of Great Britain putting 

indirect taxes on imports and   suspending New York 

meetings until the Quartering act was obeyed. Angry 

Colonist did not buy British goods. There were fights 

between the Colonists and British soldiers as well.I 

would stay away from the fights with red coats.  

In this event, British soldiers were feeling threatened by 

colonists so they fired their guns and ended up killing 

five people and wounding others. Colonists were angry 

at the event, to the point where they refused to work 

with British people at all. If I was there in I would get 

revenge on the soldiers that shot the   unarmed 

colonists.
