1. Reasons to Leave!

2. Proclamation of 1763
After the French and Indian War, English Colonists wanted the French Land!
King George didn’t want another war with the Native Americans
Drew a line down the Appalachian Mountains and told colonists to NOT CROSS IT
Result- Colonists felt like they weren’t free to live where they wanted

3. The Quartering Act- 1764
Many British soldiers were left in the colonies after the French and Indian War
IT would cost a LOT of money to feed them and house them
Quartering Act says that the colonists must house the soldiers and pay for it themselves
Result- Colonists having to waste their own food and money to take care of the soldiers

4. The Coercive/Intolerable Act
After the Boston Tea Party, England was MAD!!!
England passed the Coercive Acts as a way to punish Massachusetts
Closed Boston Harbor until tea was paid for
Took away the government of Massachusetts
Result- Colonists called them the INTOLERABLE Acts. Felt that England could overthrow their government
