Causes of the American Revolution By: Tammy Dawson

The Taxation Acts The King of England started taxing the colonists in the form of Taxation Acts in He felt that the colonists should bear the burden of the expense of maintaining the colonies. Click on Taxation Acts to see a time line of the acts.Taxation Acts

The Sugar and Stamp Acts The Sugar Act was the first law passed by the King of England that over taxed the colonists on goods shipped to the colonies. The Stamp Act was another taxation law on the colonists. This act taxed newspapers, almanacs, legal documents, pamphlets, dice, and playing cards.

The Boston Massacre The Boston Massacre was a conflict between the British soldiers and colonists that occurred on March 5, A group of soldiers opened fire on an unfriendly crowd of colonists when they started throwing things at the soldiers. This resulted in the death of three Americans.

The Boston Tea Party The Boston Tea Party occurred on December 16, Unhappy with the Tea Act that taxed the colonist’s tea, the colonists dressed as Mohawk Indians and dumped a ship load of tea into the ocean.

The Intolerable Acts The King of England was outraged at the colonists for throwing the ship load of tea into the harbor. To punish the colonists, he passed several acts, called the Intolerable or Coercive Acts, that banned the loading or unloading of any ships in Boston harbor. The people of Boston were unable to send or receive goods.

“The Road to Revolution” The Taxation Acts, the Boston Massacre, the Boston Tea Party, and the Intolerable Acts were the four main causes that lead to the American Revolution. Click “The Road to Revolution” to play an interactive game about the American Revolution.“The Road to Revolution”
