Navigation Acts
The Navagation Acts are a series of acts passed in English Parlaiment that were designed to regulate colonial trade and enable England to collect taxes. This made the colonists very upset and they began to resent it. This is a example of resentment because the colonists resented the Navigation Acts because it limited trade with other nations other than England. -
Proclomation Of 1763
King George III on Oct. 7th 1763 forbade all settlements past a line on the Appalachian mountains. If colonists happend to be living past that line they were forced to move, which didn't make them very happy because they felt entitled for the land.
This is a example of entitlement because the colonists thought they were entitled to land that was being stripped away from them. -
Sugar Act
The Sugar Act was a Act that made a three-cent tax on foreign refined sugar. It also increased taxes on coffee, indigo, and different types of wine. This only affected a portion of the colonists but they happened to be very vocal. This is a good example of advocation because it kind of forced the colonists to be advocated and have a say in how much they were taxed. -
The Quartering Act
The Quartering Act of 1765 required Colonists to house any british trops in their homes, inns, outhouses or barns if there wasn't any room at the Barracks. It soon turned into red coats tossing colonists from their beds in order to have a place to stay. Colonits got mad by this act because instead of it being a requirement they could've asked polietly or ahead of time if they could stay there. -
The Stamp Act
The Stamp Act was made to increase revenue from the colonists by tax in the form of a stamp. This affected everyone in the colonies. Many colonists showed violence twoard people enforcing this such as tarring them. This is a example of violence because of what colonists did to the people enforcing this. -
The Townshed Act
The Townshed Act was designed to collect revenue from the colonists in America. Colonists began to boycott this and caused British trade to decrease. The colonists rebelled. This is a example of rebellion because they are boycotting all the revenue. -
The Boston Massacre
This was a violent attack between the Red-coats and the colonists. The colonists were throwing snowballs and attacking the Red-coats. I feel that the colonists were obviously very upset if they felt the need to attack the soldiers on the street. I feel this is another example of violence because people were killed and did die. -
The Boston Tea Party
The Boston Tea Party was a rebellion showed by a few colonists who dumped lots of tea into the Boston Harbor. It took three hours for more than 100 colonists to empty the tea into Boston Harbor. The colonists had to be driven and passionate about whatever made them dump the tea into the Boston Harbor. This is a example of desrtruction because of how much tea was wasted and destroyed by the colonists. -
The Intolerable Acts
The intolerable acts was a act passed in order to punish the colonists for dumping so much tea into the harbor. This made the colonists even more angry. This is a example of anger because as time ventures forward more and more anger is built up for the colonist which will eventually lead to the American Revolutionary War. -
Lexington and Concord
This was the first battle that took place. nly 250 red coats were wounded or killed. This is another example of violence because people were killed and there was war and yeah.
