Proclamation of 1763 – boundary to protect colonists … can NOT move west of Appalachian Mts. a. Colonists ignore… move west

2. Britain’s Financial Problems a. War costs $$$$ …colonists forced to pay for F & I War b. Sugar Act – tax on molasses

c. Quartering Act – forced colonists to provide housing for soldiers

“No taxation without representation!” 3. Stamp Act – tax on printed materials Sons of Liberty: group of patriots organizing against the British Daughters of Liberty: organize boycott (refuse to buy Brit goods) Need women to make clothes for colonists “No taxation without representation!”

Tar and Feathering tarring and feathering of John Malcolm (customs agent)

4. Townshend Act- tax on imported glass, tea, etc. Boston Massacre: colonists throw icicles and oyster shells at British soldiers… soldiers fire on crowd and kill 5 wound 8 Committee of Correspondence: writers who inform colonists of British treating colonists badly

5. Tea Act Protest Boston Tea Party: 16 men disguised as Mohawk Indians throw 342 chests of tea into Boston Harbor. It’s estimated that the protestors tossed more than 92,000 pounds of tea into Boston Harbor. That’s enough to fill 18.5 million teabags. The present-day value of the destroyed tea has been estimated at around $1 million.

6. Intolerable Acts – to punish colonists in Boston (closed harbor, Quarter soldiers, Brits are law enforcement)

1st Continental Congress i. Colonies send delegates (representatives) to discuss action against Britain. ii. LAST STRAW: Patrick Henry “give me liberty or give me death”

"Shot heard 'round the world" 2 separate battles north of Boston. Colonists had been stock piling ammunition No one knows who fired first. British suffered 237 death, colonists less than 100 Lexington & Concord "Shot heard 'round the world"
