Mercantilism and Colonial Grievances Georgia was the only colony to be formed by Britain. mercantilism The Navigation Law of 1650 Pontiac’s War Proclamation of 1763 Salutary Neglect John Locke

Coercive (Intolerable) Acts 1 Parliament punished the people of Massachusetts for the Boston Tea Party by restricting colonists' rights. The laws made restrictions on town meetings, closed harbors and the Quebec Act was passed that same year. 2 1st Continental Congress met in Philadelphia in order to discuss colonial grievances over the Intolerable Acts. The 13 colonies, excluding Georgia, sent 55 men to the convention. After 7 weeks - Declaration of Rights: solemn appeals to other British-American colonies, to the king, and to the British people. The Association was the most important outcome of the Congress. It called for a complete boycott of British goods; nonimportation, nonexportation, and nonconsumption.

'The Shot Heard Around the World' April 1775, the British commander in Boston sent a detachment of troops to Lexington. They were to seize provisions of colonial gunpowder and to capture the "rebel" leaders (Samuel Adams and John Hancock). This incident was labeled as the "Lexington Massacre." When the British went on to Concord, they were met with American resistance and there were over 300 casualties and 70 deaths. War not a Rebellion
