3 things which lead to Revolution after French & Indian War 1. America is developing a unique “American” identity 2. Growing more economically independent 3. Imperial policies of England to collect taxes

Salutary Neglect Americans see reduced government intervention in colonial affairs –Leave them alone=produce more wealth –Colonies develop self-reliance –13 separate colonial governments emerge –Colonists get used to running own affairs

Mercantilist System Mercantilism-colonies exist for the benefit of the mother country Navigation Laws-purpose to enforce mercantilist system Molasses Act taxes on molasses, rum & sugar imported from French Caribbean Positives & negatives of mercantilism

Proclamation of 1763 Law passed by parliament forbidding British Colonists from establishing settlements west of the Appalachian Mountains.Law passed by parliament forbidding British Colonists from establishing settlements west of the Appalachian Mountains. The Law angered colonists, who were quickly running out of land due to increasing population.The Law angered colonists, who were quickly running out of land due to increasing population.

End of salutary neglect 1763 marks new era in relations between England & colonies: –Grenville tries to enforce Navigation Acts –Enormous debt from 7 yrs war- British want colonists to pay –King George III sought increased control over colonies –Proclamation of 1763 –Currency Act 1764-British restrict colonial printing of paper money

Legislative restrictions on colonists 1. Sugar Act= 1764 –Designed to stop smuggling and force ships to pay -first act passed to specifically raise $ for the crown 2. Quartering Act=1765 –Provide food & housing to British troops at any time

Road to American Revolution Stamp Act= March 1765 Required a royal stamp on all paper documents- ie. Birth certificates, legal documents, etc. Soon all paper goods taxed

Colonial Protests Colonial assemblies meet in protest Pass Non-Importation Agreement= will not buy any British goods- hurt them where it hurts most- MONEY Patrick Henry- “Give me Liberty or give me Death!” Virginia Resolves= no taxation without representation Crown claims “virtual representation”

More Protests Ladies contribute to protests- produce “homespun” Sons of Liberty= protest group- rallies, petitions, meetings, tar & feather-led by Samuel Adams- yes…the beer guy!

Stamp Act Congress-Oct Nine colonies meet in NY Pledge loyalty and “warmest sentiments of affection” to the king…but…lighten up! Goal=Repeal of Stamp Act Britain responds with Declaratory Act-1766= we own you!

British Response to Colonial Protests Declaratory Act Parliament can make any law against the colonists they want! Mutiny Act- reasserts the Quartering Act + Writs of Assistance= Blanket Search Warrants

2. Townshend Acts-1767 Further taxes on paper, paint, glass & tea Named for Charles Townshend who takes over Parliament & wants to punish colonies for acting up over Stamp Act Colonial reaction= –John Dickinson-”Letters from a PA Farmer” –Massachusetts Circular Letter

Boston Massacre- Mar. 5, 1770 Boston= center of protest Snowball fight gets out of hand 5 dead Crispus Attucks When Americans die, Americans want revenge! Townshend Acts repealed
