If you did not take your test on Wednesday (26 November 2014, you must do so now, unless you missed every day last week, then you’ll take it tomorrow)
Today, I will learn how the “Intolerable Acts” lead to conflict between the colonists and British. I will also learn how the colonists pursued peace and war at the same time.
Statement # 7 should read: *During the period of colonization European countries took ___________ materials from the colonies and made _______________goods…

2. Intolerable Acts -1774 Parliament closed the port of Boston.
Forbade Massachusetts to hold Town Meetings more than once a year – had to have permission of the governor.
Any official charged with a crime had to be put on trial in Britain.
Quartering Act – Colonists had to house British troops!

3. Where we left off…
The “Intolerable Acts” of 1774, lead the colonists to form the “First Continental Congress;” where 12 out of the 13 colonies meet and decide the following:
Full support of Massachusetts
Boycott all British products
Stop selling products to Britain
Form and train colonial militias
Reconvene in 8 months

4. Fighting breaks out
There ‘s a rumor that minutemen have a large cache of weapons stored in Concord; Gen. Gage planned a surprise march to Concord to seize the weapons.
Sons of Liberty send out the alert (Revere and Prescott notify colonists along the way to Concord.

5. “…the shot heard round the world.”
“By the rude bridge that arched the flood, Their flag to April’s breeze unfurled, Here once the embattled farmers stood, And fired the shot heard round the world…” (Emerson, 1836)
