Townshend Acts 1767 Parliament passed new tax laws called the Townshend Acts This taxed glass, tea, paint, and paper that was brought into the colonies England even hired more tax collectors! The colonists were even more angry and boycotted more!

Boston Massacre These new tax collectors were like British soldiers all over the colonies The colonists didn’t like have these soldiers in their streets They got so angry that fights would break out in the streets On March 5,1770, a large crowd of colonists gathered around the soldiers and threw rocks and snowballs at them. The soldiers fired their guns Three colonists were killed on the spot and two others died later

Boston Tea Party 1773 Parliament passed the Tea Act This meant that colonist could only buy tea from England The Sons of Liberty decided to dress up as Mohawk Indians and sneak onto the boats Sons of Liberty-group of colonists who were mad about the new laws and wanted action! They dumped 300 crates of tea into the Boston Harbor
