Building Colonial Unity 5.2

18 rebellions since Bacon’s Rebellion. Colonial leaders now have a common enemy to unite the colonists behind  England. Colonies seen by England as rebellious child. Needs a timeout and watched over England sends redcoats (troops) to Boston Greater fuelled colonists’ anger.

Relations in Boston Redcoats: Mostly poor Englishmen, argued and fought with colonists, competition for labor. Colonists: Taunted/insulted redcoats, did not live together peacefully.

Boston Massacre March 5, 1770 – Bostonians gathered, angry that the British are occupying their town. Colonists begin throwing snowballs and stones, wood at soldiers. Soldier pushed over = shots = 5 killed Crispus Attucks

Word Spreads Samuel Adams posted signs describing the “Boston Massacre”. Paul Revere created an engraving that nearly all colonists saw. Outcomes: Greater boycotts = British repeal Townshend Act = better relations & more trade. Samuel Adams revived the Committee of Correspondence (spread info. & protest)

Revere’s Propaganda

Tea Battles East India Company  British Had more tea than it could sell (loss of profit) Tea Act of 1773: allowed the co. to ship tea to the colonies without paying a tax the colonial merchants had to pay. Encourage colonists to buy English tea and pay the tax on it.

Colonial Response Wealthy merchants called for another boycott. Claimed England was tricking them into taking their liberties. Protest signs, women burned tea, boycott. Some would not allow ships to unload their cargo, forcing British ships to turn back.

Boston Tea Party – Dec. 1773 3 ships with tea dock in Boston Harbor. Royal Governor would not allow ships to turn back to England b/c of protesters. Ordered the tea to be unloaded. Sons of Liberty snuck on board “disguised” as Mohawks, threw 343 chests of tea overboard. *People still considered themselves British subjects.

British Response “We must master them or leave them to themselves.” – King George III Boston must be punished. Spring 1774 – Parliament passed the Coercive Acts (Intolerable Acts) to punish Boston.

Coercive/Intolerable Acts Closed Boston Harbor until Mass. paid for the ruined tea. No goods, food or trade by ship. Prohibited (took away) town meetings. Sent more soldiers and made Bostonians quarter (house) them. Other colonies rallied to support Mass.
