Growing Conflict STAMP ACT SUGAR ACT

NOTEWORTHY: The Townshend Act only collected £259 for the Crown, while it cost the Crown £170,000 to enforce it. Britain suspended all the taxes, except for the tax on tea.

Boston Massacre Shortly after this incident, one Bostonian observed that "unless there is some great alteration in the state of things, the era of the independence of the colonies is much nearer than I once thought it, or now wish it."

Colonial Resistance Stamp Act Congress of 1765 – attempt at colonial unity –Sons of Liberty (Sam Adams) 1772 – Sam Adams forms first Committee of Correspondence “non-importation” and “tar and feathers” Dec. 16, 1773 – Boston Tea Party Continental Congress called in 1774-complete boycott April 1775 Colonial Militia fight at Lexington & Concord

Boston Tea Party In this 1775 drawing of the Boston Tea Party, bare-chested Americans, their hair pulled back Indian-fashion, pour tea into the harbor. The British lion appears as the figurehead of the tea ship, in case the true object of the protest was in doubt. The artist also added a large crowd of colonists content to watch rather than do anything to prevent this destruction of private property.

The Alternative of Williamsburg by Philip Dawe, 1775 In this cartoon, drawn by Philip Dawe in 1775, armed patriots in Williamsburg, Virginia, obtain a merchant's written agreement not to import British goods. The "alternative" is the containers of tar and feathers hanging in the background. (Library of Congress ) The Alternative of Williamsburg by Philip Dawe, 1775 Copyright © Houghton Mifflin Company.

A View of the Town of Concord, 1775 In 1775 an unknown artist painted the redcoats entering Concord. The fighting at North Bridge, which occurred just a few hours after this triumphal entry, signaled the start of open warfare between Britain and the colonies.
