The Road to Revolution,

Objective: TO LEARN about the growing conflict between Britain and the Colonies TO UNDERSTAND the American Revolution and how it began

Townsend Acts of INDIRECT duty tax, especially on tea Triggered a storm of protest 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 Impending Storm

Why did the Townshend Act fail? PAGE 164 What was Samuel Adams’ role?

Boston Massacre PAGE 165 What preceded the Boston Massacre? What triggered the violence on March 5, 1770? Was it a “massacre”? What was John Adams’ role?

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 1772 – Samuel Adams forms first Committee of Correspondence “non-importation” and “tar and feathers” Dec. 16, 1773 – Boston Tea Party

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. All rights reserved.

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. (Library of Congress) Boston Tea Party
