They felt that the Proclamation was a way to keep them under control of England. They were pushed east of the mountains which made it easier for the British to keep an eye on them. In retaliation, a lot of colonists defied the proclamation and begrudge the system.]]> 2020-10-23 11:45:27 UTC https://padlet.com/jpeller23/51z5g1f56lcdwjh9/wish/855443621 jpeller23 https://padlet.com/jpeller23/51z5g1f56lcdwjh9/wish/855443947 The act taxed goods like sugar, coffee, cloth etc. The colonists thought that these taxes were unfair. In retaliation, the colonists protested, screaming, "No taxation without representation."]]> 2020-10-23 11:45:42 UTC https://padlet.com/jpeller23/51z5g1f56lcdwjh9/wish/855443947 jpeller23 https://padlet.com/jpeller23/51z5g1f56lcdwjh9/wish/855444933 This made the colonists upset because it restricted them from printing their own currency. They could no longer keep the economy as active. In retaliation, colonists united to protest again, screaming, "No taxation without representation." ]]> 2020-10-23 11:46:24 UTC https://padlet.com/jpeller23/51z5g1f56lcdwjh9/wish/855444933 jpeller23 https://padlet.com/jpeller23/51z5g1f56lcdwjh9/wish/855445519 This made colonists upset because this meant they had to let soldiers into their homes and care for them even when they were being taxed so much. They didn't have the money to spend on soldiers. Colonists lived in fear of these soldiers and the army.]]> 2020-10-23 11:46:48 UTC https://padlet.com/jpeller23/51z5g1f56lcdwjh9/wish/855445519 jpeller23 https://padlet.com/jpeller23/51z5g1f56lcdwjh9/wish/855445897 Colonists were upset with the Stamp Act because of the increasing taxes it supplied. This act made it even more difficult for colonists to survive with the money they had. In response, colonists started to boycott British goods and protest.]]> 2020-10-23 11:47:03 UTC https://padlet.com/jpeller23/51z5g1f56lcdwjh9/wish/855445897 jpeller23 https://padlet.com/jpeller23/51z5g1f56lcdwjh9/wish/855446415 The Declaratory Act was meant to repeal the Stamp Act, but really just ended up increasing taxes more. The colonists were obviously upset. Colonists questioned Britain's use of over taxation and again protested and boycotted.]]> 2020-10-23 11:47:23 UTC https://padlet.com/jpeller23/51z5g1f56lcdwjh9/wish/855446415 jpeller23 https://padlet.com/jpeller23/51z5g1f56lcdwjh9/wish/855447272 Colonists continued to be upset at the fact that what the British was doing was unfair to them and went against their basic rights. With the increased taxes they thought that the great amount of money should be used to help the community rather than straight to the king. Again, the colonists boycotted British goods in retaliation.]]> 2020-10-23 11:47:57 UTC https://padlet.com/jpeller23/51z5g1f56lcdwjh9/wish/855447272 jpeller23 https://padlet.com/jpeller23/51z5g1f56lcdwjh9/wish/855447681 Colonists protested the unfair treatment as usual, but the government decided to take a stand. Troops were sent to kill the colonists that had been protested. This massacre made the colonists even more scared and upset. They realized how much power the government had over them.]]> 2020-10-23 11:48:13 UTC https://padlet.com/jpeller23/51z5g1f56lcdwjh9/wish/855447681 jpeller23 https://padlet.com/jpeller23/51z5g1f56lcdwjh9/wish/855448015 Colonists seemed to dislike the Tea Act because it confirmed taxes on tea. More taxes came in with prices higher than ever. In response, colonists boarded ships and began to dump loads of tea overboard.

They saw these acts to be a threat to their community and and Massachusetts as a whole. The colonists approached this problem by creating the First Continental Congress which unified the colonists and gave them power.]]> 2020-10-23 11:48:38 UTC https://padlet.com/jpeller23/51z5g1f56lcdwjh9/wish/855448421 jpeller23 https://padlet.com/jpeller23/51z5g1f56lcdwjh9/wish/855450203 After going to war the British in 1775 moved to Lexington and Concord to take the colonists supplies and arrest individuals. Obviously, this made the colonists angry and in response colonists fought the British army. Many consider Lexington and Concord to be a victory by the colonists because of the overall damage they did to Britain's men.]]> 2020-10-23 11:49:46 UTC https://padlet.com/jpeller23/51z5g1f56lcdwjh9/wish/855450203
