The Boston Massacre showed people that British soldiers were willing to kill colonists. More people got stirred up afterwards and people started to disagree with the intentions of the British. For example, Samuel Adams supported the patriots but his cousin, John Adams, disagreed with the patriots and agreed more with the British soldiers. He even supported them in court. This event led to the agreement and disagreements of many people.

The Boston Tea Party was a protest on December 16, 1773 in Boston. Patriots disguised as American Indians destroyed an entire shipment of tea worth one million dollars by throwing the tea into the Boston Harbor which shows how they opposed the Tea Act

The Boston tea party showed that the patriots were willing to do anything for their rights. Before, for most of the taxes, the patriots would get mad, but they really wouldn’t do anything. But for the tea act, they showed, rather than tell, that they were fed up with these taxes. They showed they were mad by dumping all the tea into the ocean. More people would definitely see how the Patriots were right in being mad about the unjust teases. In addition, this event led to the Intolerable Acts which really showed colonists that now was the right time to rebel.

King George enforced a series of laws in 1774, which earned its name “Intolerable” because it was so harsh. The Quartering act was one of these. The Quartering Act was where the colonists had to provide necessities for British soldiers sent to the colonies. Another act was closing the Boston Harbor where Patriots threw tea into the harbor.

The Intolerable acts was the last tax or punishment from Great Britain, but this event really sparked up the attention of everyone. The colonists started uniting and even some loyalists started agreeing with the patriots, agreeing that the British empire had taken this too far.

The First Continental Congress was a meeting of representatives from 12 of the 13 British colonies that became the United States to discuss Britain’s rule against the colonies and debate whether it was time to rebel or not.

The 1st Continental Congress was the first meeting where the colonies got together and contemplated the idea of:
1) Rebelling against Great Britain
2) Colonies unification.
Before, all the colonies considered themselves as individual colonies but after the meeting, they left thinking of themselves  of one country: America.
