Event Year Description French & Indian War 1754 A conflict between Great Britain and France in North America. Caused Great Britain to go into debt and resulted in colonists feeling thy were being unfairly taxed. Proclamation Line 1763 An imaginary line that separated colonial settlers from Indians after the French and Indian War to reduce conflict, causing much resentment among settlers Sugar Act 1764 Placed a tariff on sugar, coffee, wines, and molasses. Colonists avoided tax by smuggling. Stamp Act 1765 Required colonists to pay a tax on newspapers, pamphlets, legal documents and playing cards. Townshend Act 1767 Imposed a tax on items including paint, tea, glass, and paper. Protest of this Act led to the Boston Massacre. Boston Massacre 1770 5 colonists were killed by British Troops. It is remembered as a key event in helping to galvanize the colonial public to the Patriot cause. Tea Act May 1773 Granted the East India Company an exclusive license to sell tea in colonies. Colonist were having to pay double the price. Boston Tea Party Dec. 1773 Bostonians, dressed as Indians, dumped 342 chests of tea in the Boston Harbor in response to the Tea Act. Intolerable Acts (Coercive Acts) 1774 Passed in retaliation of Boston Tea Party. It was a package of five laws. Lexington and Concord 1775 First military engagements of the American Revolutionary War.

Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and... that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations… evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government…
