Topic: The Imperial Crisis and Resistance to Britain: Was Revolution “inevitable”?

Colonial Thought and Philosophy Growth of inter-colonial unity Relatively Free Press Rights as Englishmen Self-government Circulation of Enlightenment thought (Montesquieu, Rousseau) “Republican Virtue” Fear of Arbitrary Power (King George III)

British begin “Revenue Taxes” Lord Grenville Payment of war debts “fair share” of imperial expenses Navigation Acts enforced Colonial resentment Illegal smuggling rises Sugar Act (1764) Quartering Act 1765

The Stamp Act Controversy Tax on paper goods Admiralty courts Representation debate Direct vs. Virtual Reaction against Stamp Act: NYC Stamp Act Congress Non-importation Agreements Sons & Daughters of Liberty Parliament repeals Stamp Act, passes Declaratory Act (1766) “Binding” the colonies

Townshend Acts and the Boston Massacre Townshend Taxes (1767): Lead, paint, tea Smuggling, resistance  more British troops in America Boston Massacre (1770) Townshend Acts repealed (except Tea) Committees of Correspondence Samuel Adams

The Boston Tea Party Colonists still annoyed by tea taxes December 1773: Boston Tea Party British Response: The Intolerable Acts Boston Port Act Massachusetts Government Act The Quebec Act

Conclusion 1) Who do you think is responsible for the crisis between Britain and the Colonies? 2) Was this conflict “inevitable”?
