Road to American Revolution

Tar and feathering, and other abuse towards tax collectors and loyalists are examples of:

Main tax protest organizers, such as: Sam Adams, Paul Revere, & John Hancock

To protest tea act, Sons of Liberty dress up as Indians and dump King's tea in harbor

Colonists had to house and feed British troops, colonists resisted and ignored law

refusal to obeylaws by protesting in nonviolent ways: boycotting, striking, & not paying taxes

War that King taxed the colonists for without their consent

Revolutionary protest image, taxed paper, colonists protest & boycott= act repealed

Britain not enforcing laws on the colonists for many years (caused colonial self-govt.)

Reason the King George III of England ended Salutary Neglect

British troops open fire and kill 5 Bostonians=sparks more tension between Britain and America 

Taxes placed on glass, lead, tea, and colored paper, colonists boycott and smuggle=law repealed

Line forbids America from moving west across into Indian territory, America taxed anyway

Pain in Britain's side, wrote Common Sense which inspired colonists to want to divorce Britain

His famous lines, "Give me Liberty or Give me Death," helped inspire the American Revolution

King Said colonists can only buy British tea, hurt colonial business, causes Boston Tea Party

favorite class in HHS???

Main reason colonists, like Patrick Henry, were upset with new taxes

Getting raw materials from the colonies and making colonists ONLY trade with England

God-Given rights that NO ONE can take away (life Liberty, Pursuit of Happiness).Basis of D.O.I.

Written by Thomas Jefferson in 1776, it declared independence from Great Britain

Act created to punish Massachusetts for Tea Party, King has control of courts and ports

Philosopher who invented the idea of Unalienable rights
