Taxes

Britain needed money to pay for itś war debts. The King and
Parliament believed they had the right to tax the colonies.
They decided to require several kinds of taxes from the
colonists to help pay for the French and Indian war.

A Tax on Tea

The Tea Act: The Catalyst of the Boston Tea Party. The Tea
Act, passed by Parliament on May 10, 1773, granted the
British East India Company Tea a monopoly on tea sales in
the American colonies.The act’s main purpose was not to
raise revenue from the colonies but to bail out the floundering
East India Company, a key actor in the British economy. The
British government granted the company a monopoly on the
importation and sale of tea in the colonies.

The Boston Massacre

British Army soilderś shot and killed people while under
attack by a mob. British troops had been stationed in
Boston,capital of the province of massachusetts bay,since
1768 in order to protect and support crown-appointed colonial
officials attempting to enforce unpopular parliamentary.

The Boston Tea Party

In 1771, a group of colonists protest thirteen years of
increasing British oppression, by attacking merchant ships in
Boston Harbor. In retaliation, the British close the port, and
inflict even harsher penalties. 340 chests of British East India
Company Tea, weighing over 92,000 pounds (roughly 46
tons), onboard the Beaver, Dartmouth, and Eleanor were
smashed open by the Sons of Liberty armed with an
assortment of axes and dumped into Boston Harbor the night
of December 16, 1773.

How it got its name

The French and Indian War comprised the North American
theater of the worldwide Seven Years' War of 1756–63. It
pitted the colonies of British America against those of New
France The colonists called it the French and Indian war, and
it permanently shifted the global balance of power. By the
mid-18th century, both the British and french wanted to
extend their North American colonies into the land west of
the Appalachian Mountains, known then as the Ohio Territory.

Proclamation of 1763

On October 7, 1763,King george the third issued a
proclamation that forbade colonial settlement west of the
appalachian mountains. In so doing, he hoped to placate
Native Americans who had sided against him during the
recently concluded Seven Years’ War.

Sam Adams and the Sons of Liberty

The Sons of Liberty was an organization that was created in
the Thirteen American Colonies. The secret society was
formed to protect the rights of the colonists and to fight
taxation by the British government. They played a major role
in most colonies in battling the Stamp Act in 1765.The sons
of Liberty formed out of a number of smaller protest groups
in 1765 in response to the Stamp Act. The first group was
likely formed out of the "Loyal Nine" in Boston with other
groups soon forming in New York and Connecticut. The name
comes from a speech made in the British Parliament by

No Taxation without
Representation

Taxation Without Representation" is a slogan
originating during the 1750s and 1760s that
summarized a primary grievance of the American
colonists in the Thirteen Colonies, which was one of
the major causes of the American Revolution.

How it started

The French And Indian War began in 1754 and ended with the
Treaty of Paris in 1763. The War provided Great Britain
enormous territorial gains in North America, but disputes over
subsequent frontier policy and paying the war, expenses led
to colonial discontent, and ultimately to the American
Revolution.

JOIN OR DIE

Join, or Die Political Cartoon by Benjamin Franklin

A political cartoon calling for American colonies to band
together for protection against Indians and the French. First
published in the Pennsylvania Gazette on May 9, 1754.

The Intolerable Acts

The Intolerable Acts were the American Patriots' term for a
series of punitive laws passed by the british parliament in
1774 after the Boston Tea party.Four of the acts were issued
in direct response to the Boston Tea Party of December
1773; the British Parliament hoped these punitive measures
would, by making an example of Massachusetts, reverse the
trend of colonial resistance to parliamentary authority that
had begun with the 1764 Sugar Act.

Main Reason Of The French and Indian War

The French and Indian War was the North American conflict
in a larger imperial war between Great Britain and France
known as the Seven Years' War. The French and Indian war
began in 1754 and ended with the Treaty of Paris in 1763.

How It Ended

The Treaty of Paris of 1783, negotiated between the United
States and Great Britain, ended the revolutionary war and
recognized American independence. The preliminary articles
of peace were signed by Adams, Franklin, Jay, and Henry
Laurens for the United States and Richard Oswald for Great
Britain on November 30, 1782. The final treaty was signed on
September 3, 1783, and ratified by the Continental Congress
early in 1784.
