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

Troubles In Boston Townshend Taxes (1767): lead, paint, tea Boston Massacre (1770) Townshend Acts repealed (except Tea) Committees of Correspondence December 1773: Boston Tea Party British Response: The Intolerable Acts
