Proclamation of 1763

1763

After the french and indian war, Britain passed the 

proclamation of 1763 to prevent colonists from 

going over the Appalachian mountains to the west 

and angering the native Americans.

If I were a colonist, I would have been very angry 

at Britain because we just shed blood to get this 

land, and now we can't have it. 

Sugar Act

1764

This put taxes on sugar, indigo, and certain wines. 

If i were a colonist, this would have made me angry 

because i would normally use those everyday, and 

having to pay more would mean less money to save.

Quartering Act

1765

The quartering act allowed soldiers to go into a colonists 

home, and use all of their things while living there.

If I were a colonist, this would have made me angry 

because it was an invasion on my privacy

The stamp act

1765

This act put taxes on all printed papers like 

newspaper, pamphlets, e.t.c.

If I were a colonist I might have been angry 

because a lot of things could have been printed 

back then, and taxes would not have made me 

happy.

Townshend acts

1767

These were taxes that were sneakily added to 

imports, hoping no one would find them. but 

eventually, the colonists found them and were so 

angry, they boycotted further taxed items.

If i were a colonist, i would have boycotted too, 

because adding a tax is one thing, but without 

telling someone is outrageous.

The Boston Massacre

1770

Several colonists were throwing snowballs at british 

soldiers, and in the confusion a soldier gave the order 

to shoot the colonists, killing several.

If i were a colonist i would have been shocked, 

because they just opened fire on several colonists!
