and even dice?
The Stamp Act.
What was the colonists reaction to the Stamp Act?
Riots broke out in cities like New York. Mobs harassed
British tax officials by throwing rocks and tarring and feathering them. They hanged or burned effigies
of the British officials.
A huge complaint the colonists had was that of
“No taxation without representation!” What did
this mean?
“No taxation without representation” arose because
the colonists did not elect anybody to the British
Parliament. The colonists claimed that Parliament could
not tax them because they were represented in Parliament.
What was the Stamp Act Congress?
The Stamp Act Congress was when 9 colonies sent delegates to discuss what
to do about the Stamp Act. They decided to boycott
British goods.

British actions.

Liberty. He organized the committees of

In the Boston Massacre, British soldiers shot and killed 5
colonists. They were mostly Sons of Liberty. The colonists provoked the British into firing. The Sons of Liberty used this
event to get people mad at the British.
Britain repealed much of the Townshend Acts in 1770. It did keep the tax on tea. This small tax was designed to show the colonists that Parliament did
have the right to tax the colonies.
Parliament gave the British East India a monopoly of the tea trade with the Tea Act in 1773. This put
many colonial merchants out of work. It was a very small tax but
the colonists believed in “no taxation without representation.”
What did this lead to?
The Tea Act led to the Boston Tea Party. 342 crates of tea
were dumped into Boston harbor. There were similar responses in several other
locations. Colonists throughout the colonies agreed to boycott
tea, often making their own substitutes.
Britain was not happy with the Boston Tea Party. It
responded with the Intolerable Acts which were
designed to punish the colonists of Massachusetts. What were the Intolerable
Acts?
The Intolerable Acts shut down the port of Boston.
Ships could not come into or leave the port which made it very difficult for the citizens of Boston to get supplies.
Other colonies sent supplies by land.
A new Quartering Act was also passed. This made colonists who weren’t too happy with the British house British soldiers. This raised
tensions in Boston. Town meetings were also limited to 1 a year. This was designed to keep the people of Massachusetts from
organizing against the British.
The Intolerable Acts also said that British officials would be
sent back to British to stand trial if they committed a crime. It
was widely believed that these people would face no
punishment in England since witnesses could not afford to go
to Britain to testify.

The committees of correspondence sent
supplies to help Boston. The First Continental Congress also met in
