THE PROCLAMATION OF 1763 october 7 1763

The British did not want the colonists to move 

westward. This made it so that they couldn't and it 

angered the colonists because they felt controlled.

the reason the british did this was to reserve land for 

tribal Indians.If i was a colonist I would have felt i did so 

much for nothing.

SUGAR ACT april 5 1774

the british put taxes on things like sugar and coffee to 

pay off their war debts. this made the colonists start 

wanting a say in the taxes they need to pay because the 

british didn't let them know what they did. the colonists 

were also forced to pay these taxes.this led to the 

revolution because the colonists felt the british had no 

right to tax them.I would have felt this way as well 

because the british fought the war not the colonists.

QUARTERING ACT march 22 1765

this was a law passed by the british that forced the 

colonists keep british soldiers in their houses .this 

angered the colonists because they felt the british were 

trying to spy on them.I would have felt the same but i 

probably wouldn't have done anything though.

STAMP ACT march 24 1765

it was a tax on most mailed goods and was put in to 

control the colonists.it also made them buy a stamp to 

prove they paid this tax.This angered the colonists and 

they boycotted british goods until the british removed 

the tax.I think they had full right to do that because 

again the british don't have a right to tax them.

TOWNSHEND ACTS june 29 1767

It was a law that the british passed that made the 

colonists pay an indirect tax on imported goods. the 

colonists stopped buying and fights started . I would 

have been very angry and would have done the same.

BOSTON MASSACRE march 5 1770

the british were getting angry with the colonists and 

some soldiers fired and killed 5 colonists. the colonists 

were very angry and stopped trade with britain.I would 

have wanted the war to start then and would have been 

angry as well.

BOSTON TEA PARTY may 1773

sam adams and other rebels dressed as mohawks and 

dumped tea into the boston harbor.it led to england 

passing the intolerable acts to punish the colonists for 

the boston tea party.I would have dumped tea into the 

harbor because it was a good way to get back at 

britain.

THE INTOLERABLE ATCS may - june 1774

4 laws made to punish the colonists for the boston tea 

party. the british cut off boston ports so the colonists 

made a colonial meeting.i would have done this too 

because then the country went along to revolution.

First Continental Congress Sept-Oct. 1774

it was the first meeting of all the colonies in which 

they made the declaration of independence. it united 

the colonies forming an alliance which would help 

them win the revolutionary war. I would not have 

made the declaration i would have started fighting.
