This included a limitation on town meetings, the giving of Quebec back to France, and forcing the colonists to purchase tea. These actions infuriated many of the colonists and encouraged a revolution.]]> 2018-01-31 16:12:20 UTC https://padlet.com/donaldbalcom/6gg85l8g75xw/wish/226642338 https://padlet.com/donaldbalcom/6gg85l8g75xw/wish/226642551 2018-01-31 16:12:35 UTC https://padlet.com/donaldbalcom/6gg85l8g75xw/wish/226642551 https://padlet.com/donaldbalcom/6gg85l8g75xw/wish/226642587 We wanted to revolt because, over and over again, we were told to do things, and never listened to. They were TOLD to obey the sugar act, the quartering act, the stamp act, the tea act, the port act, etc. and no one explained the benefits of these acts. Another example of this was the Proclamation Line of 1763. In all these cases, the colonists felt their freedoms were being taken away...they didn't have a say. ]]> 2018-01-31 16:12:39 UTC https://padlet.com/donaldbalcom/6gg85l8g75xw/wish/226642587 https://padlet.com/donaldbalcom/6gg85l8g75xw/wish/226642723 no taxation without representation, the colonists wanted to protect their rights and liberties, tired of being told what to do ]]> 2018-01-31 16:12:51 UTC https://padlet.com/donaldbalcom/6gg85l8g75xw/wish/226642723 https://padlet.com/donaldbalcom/6gg85l8g75xw/wish/226642922 -tired of being told what to do

After the olive branch document the colonies were declared a state of revolution. This is when they decided they need independence.

Taxation and limited representation caused colonists to feel like they had no voice but still had to pay and follow British laws. This unfairness caused tension and anger. The intolerable acts and further British action caused this tension to grow to pure conflict and violence. ]]> 2018-01-31 16:13:37 UTC https://padlet.com/donaldbalcom/6gg85l8g75xw/wish/226643319 https://padlet.com/donaldbalcom/6gg85l8g75xw/wish/226643323 The British told us to do things without asking us/ letting us decide on our own ]]> 2018-01-31 16:13:38 UTC https://padlet.com/donaldbalcom/6gg85l8g75xw/wish/226643323 https://padlet.com/donaldbalcom/6gg85l8g75xw/wish/226643330 The American Revolution was caused by the excessive taxation from Britain and Britain becoming very hands on all of a sudden.
