Bellringer Flashback: Why was the Mayflower Compact important? What was the main cause of the French and Indian War? How did Pontiac’s Rebellion lead to the Proclamation of 1763?

Analyze the causes of the American Revolution Goal

Road to Revolution

No Taxation without representation! England has major debt because of the French and Indian War -begins to tax the colonies Those colonies must pay for the war we fought to protect them!

Sugar Act-1764 lowers the tax on molasses to encourage colonists to buy it legally -sets up special courts for smuggling cases -allows government officials to search without a warrant

Wealthiest person in the 13 colonies Refused to let the British search his boats for smuggled goods (wonder why ;)

Hancock was given a huge fine and taken to court. These actions in turn prompted mob violence on Boston streets and eventually led to British authorities sending in military forces

Song Time! The Sugar Act

Angry Colonists Colonists argue England can’t tax them because they are not represented in Parliament.

Stamp Act 1765 places a tax on all printed materials (newspapers, cards, pamphlets etc)

Samuel Adams starts the Sons of Liberty in Boston—a group to fight the “unfair” taxes Stamp Act-1765

Mr. Troublemaker: Samuel Adams

Repealing the Stamp Act Colonists protest BOYCOTT, burn effigies, tar and feather people, attack tax collectors, refuse to pay the tax They appeal to Parliament to take the tax away. Repealing the Stamp Act

Parliament repeals the Stamp Act BUT declares it has the right to place taxes on the colonies in “all cases whatsoever” Declaratory Act-1766

Townshend Acts-1767 taxes are on goods the colonies must import—paint, tea, glass, and lead

How did the colonies react? Boycott again Formed “Daughters of Liberty”

Trouble in Boston 1768—Nervous customs officials (people who collect taxes) ask Parliament to send help -Troops sent

The Boston Massacre March 5, 1770 Colonist struck British guard causing more troops to arrive Colonists threw rocks, snowballs, ice at troops Troops fired into crowd, killing 5

Reaction to the Boston Massacre Colonial leaders used the killings for propaganda -Samuel Adams calls it the “Boston Massacre” John Adams defends Brit soldiers in trial Boycotts result in all Townshend Acts taxes lifted---except for tea

You’re Invited! The Boston Tea Party Three ships arrive in Boston Harbor The royal governor orders the tea to be unloaded On December 16, 1773 men dressed as Mohawks and armed with hatchets marched on the wharves At midnight, they threw over 340 chests of tea overboard

Intolerable Acts (a.k.a. Coercive Acts) Coercive Acts of 1774- Colonists called them “Intolerable Acts” Boston Harbor closed Town meetings banned; trials held in England Required colonists to house British soldiers CAUSED COLONISTS TO RESENT BRITAIN MORE THAN EVER!!!
