The incident was greatly propagandized by leading patriots, such as Paul Revere, who later painted "The Bloody Massacre on King Street", to fuel animosity toward the British authorities (the British King was greatly angered by Paul Revere's painting).]]> 2017-02-13 22:08:45 UTC https://padlet.com/shen_sarah/29puvdjkzjx1/wish/153582803 https://padlet.com/shen_sarah/29puvdjkzjx1/wish/153583336 The full name for the proclamation of 1763 is the royal proclamation of 1763. The proclamation was issued  by King George 3 in October 7, 1763.  King George was  a british king. The perpuse of the proclamation was to end conflicts with the indians after the French and indian war. ]]> 2017-02-13 22:12:25 UTC https://padlet.com/shen_sarah/29puvdjkzjx1/wish/153583336 348867 https://padlet.com/shen_sarah/29puvdjkzjx1/wish/153587027     On April 5, 1764, Parliament, people in Great Britain that wanted to change the country, passed a modified version of the Sugar and Molasses Act (1733), which was about to expire. The Molasses Act forced colonial merchants to pay a tax of six pence per gallon on the importance of molasses. Later, they decided to avoid the taxes and instead undersold the intention of taxing — that the English product would be cheaper than the product from the French West Indies. This hurt the British West Indies' market in molasses, sugar, and rum, which the colonies had been producing with the cheaper French molasses. The Sugar Act reduced the rate of tax on molasses from six pence per gallon to three pence per gallon, but also listed more foreign goods to be taxed such as sugar, certain wines, coffee, and more. They wanted to force importers to buy molasses from British colonies instead of smuggling it from competing French and Spanish colonies. ]]> 2017-02-13 22:38:48 UTC https://padlet.com/shen_sarah/29puvdjkzjx1/wish/153587027 354634 https://padlet.com/shen_sarah/29puvdjkzjx1/wish/153588073     The British Parliament passed the Stamp Act on March 22, 1765. This new tax led to many unheard cries of protests from the American colonists, since they had no place in the British government. The Stamp Act forced every American colonist to pay taxes on printed paper, such as ship's papers, legal documents, licenses, newspapers, other publications, and even playing cards were taxed. The money collected by the British monarchs payed the costs for the 10,000 troops protecting the American frontier next to the Appalachian Mountains.]]> 2017-02-13 22:46:21 UTC https://padlet.com/shen_sarah/29puvdjkzjx1/wish/153588073 348867 https://padlet.com/shen_sarah/29puvdjkzjx1/wish/153589948     The colonists contradicted with the unfair taxing. "No taxation without representation!" was the cry. They decided to act against the laws. They knew that no colony acting alone could effectively send a message to the king and Parliament. Eventually James Otis, one of the most passionate and effective protectors of American rights suggested to agree on a united course of action. With that suggestion, the Stamp Act Congress began in October 1765. The Congress seemed at first to be a complete failure. ]]> 2017-02-13 23:02:50 UTC https://padlet.com/shen_sarah/29puvdjkzjx1/wish/153589948 354634 https://padlet.com/shen_sarah/29puvdjkzjx1/wish/153590022     The Quartering Act of 1765 was issued by the British Parliament after receiving a plea from Lieutenant-General Thomas Gage, who found it difficult to persuade colonial assemblies to pay for the living quarters of his troops. This act required colonists to house British troops with the barracks provided by the colonies. If that was not enough for all the soldiers, they were to go to public houses, such as bars or ale houses. If that was still not enough, they could "make fit for the reception of his Majesty’s forces" and inhabit any abandoned farmhouses and such. However, the popular image of Redcoats tossing colonists of their bunks represents the unfair treatment.]]> 2017-02-13 23:03:29 UTC https://padlet.com/shen_sarah/29puvdjkzjx1/wish/153590022 https://padlet.com/shen_sarah/29puvdjkzjx1/wish/153809973 Charles Townshend started the Townshend act in 1767. he act impused dutes on paper, glass, lead, paints and tea.

All of the tea they threw cost $18,000. This made Britain more tempted to start another war. The tea that they threw came from china.
