Proclamation of 1763

     The Proclamation of 1763 was an act that ended the war. 

The British didn't want to send soldiers somewhere far to 

protect the colonist from Indians. The colonist were angry 

about this because they wanted to expand their colonies.

       I ranked this a 8 because it was what ended the French 

and Indian war. 

Sugar Act of 1764

     The Sugar act was an act that put taxes on foreign refined 

sugar and increased taxes on coffee, indigo, and certain wines. 

It banned importation on rum and French wines. The colonist 

were mad about this because they had to pay more for what 

they payed for. 

      I ranked this a 6 because the British just put taxes of 

things that didn't really matter.

Quartering act of 1765

     It was an act that sent British soldiers to protect   the 

colonist and in return, they had to provide fuel, candles, beers, 

and transportation. Many colonist were mad about this 

because the soldiers were invading their homes. 

      I ranked this a 8 because the British were invading the 

colonies by "protecting the colonist."

Stamp Act of 1765

     It was an act that made the colonist pay taxes for 

newspaper, pamphlets, marriage license, and playing cards 

because the British were in debt after the French and Indian 

War. Colonist were angry about this because they taxes on 

nonsense things.

     I ranked this a 7 because the British put taxes on random 

things because they were in debt.

Townshend Act of 1767

     It was an act that taxed anything that came from the 

British to the colonies. The colonies raged about this because 

now they had to pay taxes for everything that was sent from 

the British.

      I ranked this a 7 because the colonies had to pay taxes for 

everything that came from the British.  

Boston Massacre of 1770

     A mob of angry colonist harassed British soldiers because the 

colonist didn't like the British invading their colonies. The British open 

fire after one of the soldiers got hit. Many colonies were outraged of 

what happened of the day of the Boston Massacre.

     I ranked this a 10 because the colonist were now taking affect with 

the British, so many died during this fight. 

Boston Tea Party of 1773

     The colonist dumbed tea into the sea to symbolize that 

they weren't buying any more tea from the British. This was 

meant that the British would lose tons of money because of 

this.

      I ranked this a 9 because the colonies were not going to 

buy tea from the British which meant the British were going tol 

lose money.
