Uniting the Colonies Section Two

A) Trouble in Boston

British Troops in Boston To calm the trouble in the colonies, the British government sent more troops to America, which further angered the colonists. The British soldiers further angered the colonists with their behavior (stealing goods, rude behavior, etc.), so tensions rose.

British Behavior

March 5, 1770 On March 5, 1770, a group of colonists in Boston and British soldiers got into a heated argument in the street. A shot was fired, which led to many more!

What do YOU think happened? OR What do YOU think happened?

Boston Massacre (1770) Many of the colonial leaders used propaganda to make the British soldiers look like murderers.

Boston Massacre (1770) To calm the situation, the British government repealed the Townshend Acts with the exception of the tax on tea.

Crispus Attucks In the Boston Massacre, five colonists were killed including Crispus Attucks who was believed to be a runaway slave. Tensions were ignited throughout the colonies as news spread of this event.

Paul Revere Boston Massacre

Propaganda

Committee of Correspondence Samuel Adams Committee of Correspondence In 1772, Samuel Adams organized the Committee of Correspondence to circulate pamphlets around the colonies to continue the protest of the British laws.

B) A Crisis Over Tea

The Tea Act (1773) In 1773, the British government passed the Tea Act to help bail out the British East India Company. This act allowed them to not pay taxes on the tea imported to the colonies, undercutting American tea prices.

British East India Company Colonists all over America (mainly in Boston), once again were very upset and demanded another boycott of British goods. Some colonists began to force British East India ships to leave the ports.

Colonial Boycotts

Boston Tea Party December 16 On December 16, 1773; members of the Sons of Liberty dressed like Native Americans and boarded three ships in the Boston Harbor and threw 342 crates of tea into the harbor. This became known as the Boston Tea Party.

Boston Tea Party (1773)

Why throw the tea away?

King George III After this, King George III pushed for the Coercive Acts to punish the colonists in Boston for their actions. He closed Boston’s harbor until the tea was paid for, not allowing any other goods into Boston. The King also banned town meetings and forced British soldiers into colonist’s homes. Other American colonies sent food and goods to help Bostonians.

The Coercive Acts The Intolerable Acts 1773 OR as the colonists called them: The Intolerable Acts

The Quebec Act The Quebec Act of 1773, set up a colonial government in Quebec which angered the colonists again! This act allowed the people of Quebec to move into the land that the American colonists fought for in the French and Indian War.
