American Revolution By: Colin Paslay

Navigation Acts (1650-1700’s) Parliament passed a set of laws that directed the flow of goods between England and the colonies, and it made the colonists feel as if they were having their rights and liberties slowly torn from their hands.

Proclamation of 1763 The Proclamation of 1763 declared that colonists were not allowed to move past the Appalachian Mountains. This made the colonists extremely angry, because they wanted to expand the colonies. The response to the proclamation was that some colonists ignored the law and moved anyways.

Stamp Act (1765) The stamp act was one of the last straws for the colonists. When Parliament passed the act in 1765, it put a tax on all printed materials from newspapers to playing cards and everything in between. The taxed items had a special stamp applied by a British official. The response the colonists gave to the stamp act was forming a rebellious group called the Son’s of Liberty.

Sons of Liberty The Sons of Liberty was a group of men that came together to protest British laws and stand up for their rights. The Sons of Liberty were over all led by Samuel Adams, who formed the group after the Stamp Act of 1765. The Sons of Liberty were involved in the burning of effigies.

Declaratory Acts (1765) The Declaratory Acts gave Britain the right to tax and make decisions for the colonies in ANY case, and that meant colonists had no choice but to listen to Parliament…… Or did they? Anyways, the colonists got pretty angry, (as always) and they decided to rebel... Again…

Quartering Acts (1765) Passing the Quartering Acts wasn’t the smartest thing Parliament ever did, but neither was passing any of the other acts. The Quartering Acts forced colonists to house any soldiers that needed a place to stay, and provide the soldiers with whatever they needed. The colonists made another BIG move. They boycotted British goods. Oh and one more thing. They rebelled… Shocking right?

Townshend Acts (1767) The Townshend Acts were taxes on glass, tea, paper, and lead. Colonists HAD to import these items because they didn’t have them in the colonies. The colonists only boycotted even more British goods, and then another rebellious group formed called the Daughters of Liberty. Yes the group was made up of women, just as the Sons of Liberty was a group made up of men.

Boston Massacre (1770) The Boston Massacre was an event that colonists buttered up to make it look like the redcoats were evil and blood thirsty. The Boston Massacre took place on March 5, 1770. As colonists moved through Boston rebelling, redcoats gathered trying to keep the crowd from causing a major riot. Tension grew extremely fast, the redcoats got scared, and then the redcoats fired on the crowd. At the end of the event, five colonists lay dead.

Tea Act and Boston Tea Party The tea act was an act that Parliament passed putting taxes on tea. This made the colonists extremely angry because that was the main drink in those days. As a response to the Tea Act, the Sons of Liberty dressed up as Mohawk Indians, boarded British ships containing chests of tea, and threw 342 chests of tea into the Boston harbor.

The Coercive Acts (The Intolerable Acts) The Coercive Acts were 5 laws passed on the colonies to basically punish them for the Boston Tea Party. The first act was the Boston Port Act, which closed Boston’s port until all of the damaged and lost tea had been payed for, also until the King felt that order had been restored. The second act was the Massachusetts government act. This act altered the Massachusetts government to bring it under British control. This act also limited the activity in Massachusetts town meetings. The third act was the Administration of Justice Act. This act allowed the governor to move trials to a different state, or even to Britain if the governor thought the defendant couldn’t receive a fair trial in Massachusetts. The fourth act was the Quartering act which forced all colonists to house any soldiers in need of a place to stay. The fifth and final act was the Quebec Act. This act enlarged the boundaries of the Canadian “colony” of Quebec, also allowing the practice of Catholicism in in Quebec. All of these acts put together were named by the colonists, who gave them the name, “The Intolerable Acts”.
