British Government vs. American Colonists British-America was divided into 13 colonies Each colony had its own gov’t but still had to obey British law -Ex: Navigation Act – colonies could only trade with Brit., colonists had to pay tariffs (taxes on imports) 1754: France & Brit. fight French & Indian War (Seven Years War) 1763: Amer. colonies help Brit. win war but King & Parliament expect colonists to pay for war – fought in America We agree! Why us? You guys pay for this war!!

Causes of the American Revolution 1764: Sugar Act: Lower tax on Brit. sugar Effect: People don’t want to be forced to buy Brit. sugar Cause #2: 1765: Stamp act: direct tax on all stamped documents Colonists say violates natural rights, no taxation w/o representation! Effect: Colonists boycott Brit. goods, Brit. passes more taxes

The Bloody Massacre Describe what you see in the picture. Who looks like the aggressor? What do you think happened in the picture?

Cause #3: 1770: Boston Massacre – Brit. troops open fire on colonists who are protesting the new taxes in Townshend Act Cause #4: 1773:Tea Act (tax on Amer. tea only) & Boston Tea Party (Colonists dump Brit. tea into Boston Harbor) Effect: King George closes Boston Harbor Cause #5: 1774: Intolerable Acts – 1.Quartering Act forces citizens to house British troops. 2. Administration of Justice Act –Boston Massacre trial moved from Boston to London
