Proclamation of 1763The Proclamation of 1763 was issued by Great Britain in 1763,which
forbade the colonists to move west of the Appalachian Mountains.

The British had not wanted the colonists to start any other conflicts due to
the recent rivalries between the French and Indians.

Quartering ActsIn 1765, it was mandatory for colonies to quarter, or house, soldiers and
provide for their needs, and provide them with supplies.

These acts infuriated the Colonists and tensions
arose between the colonists and Britain.Due to the war colonies had to house the soldiers
because they didn't have any other place to go.

Stamp ActsIn 1765, it was required that all legal and commercial documents had to carry an
official stamp that showed the carrier had paid tax.

These stamps also had to be paid for in British currency
not in colonial paper money. The purpose of the tax was
to supply for the British troops in North America and
Britain felt that the colonies were responsible for supplying
the troops. So they taxed them.

Townshend ActIn 1767, these laws had suspended New York's Assembly and
established taxes on goods shipped over to Britain by the colonies.
These set of laws were named after charles Townshend, who thought
of the scheme of taxing the goods without the colonies knowing. But
unfortunately the colonists found out and the tax had been repealed.

Boston MassacreOn March 5,1770, a dispute between Red Coats and several colonists had ended up
as a death scene.

On that horrific day, five colonists had been killed including Crispus Attucks

Tea ActIn 1773, the Tea Act made smugglers, who were not paying tax for the smuggled
tea, pay tax for the regulated tea. The Tea Act gave the British East India Company control over the American
tea trade.This law made colonists and merchants enraged, and everyone wondered what
Parliament would do next.

Boston Tea PartyOn December 16, 1773, the Sons of Liberty had disguised themselves
as Native Americans, boarded three tea ships and began to dispose
crates full of tea.The Sons of Liberty had done this to show Britain that they had disagreed
with the recent taxes.

Intolerable ActsIn 1774, these series of laws had punished the Massachusetts colony for
their wrong doings such as the Boston Tea Party. These laws were passed
by Parliament which also made the colonies even more frustrated.

Battles of Lexington & ConcordIn April 19, 1775, the Battles of Lexington & Concord were the two
major wars that sparked the American Revolution. This was a conflict
between the Thirteen Colonies and Britain.
