While the Americans were fighting against the British, many were reading an argument that had a far greater impact that any battle. In January 1776, Thomas Paine, wrote a long letter addressing how Britain should not be considered the parent country to America. Britain had dragged America through countless wars, was quite a distance away, and varied in size.
2. The pamphlet argued heavily that a country should be controlled by citizens, not kings and queens, changing how the people of America viewed the king and Britain. It got many people involved, as 500,000 copies were sold in America and Europe. The funds from the book were then given to Washington’s Army.

The act ordered the colonies to print many different things (legal documents, magazines, playing cards, etc.) on a stamped, taxed paper, imported from London. This was created, because after the French and Indian War, Great Britain needed money. The King saw a good way to acquire more money being to tax the colonists.

Parliament thought that the tax was an effective way to restore money to Great Britain. However, The colonists were whole-heartedly against the massive tax. They despised having to pay the weight of the war and felt their rights attacked as Englishmen. The colonists’ slogan response was “No taxation without representation.” Meanwhile, the British citizens weren’t necessarily against the idea of the colonists carrying the weight of the war. However, they did petition parliament to reduce/remove the tax, due to trade difficulties with the colonies caused by boycotts.]]> 2020-09-04 16:22:25 UTC https://padlet.com/pambrose1/golzqmv9ccd8o9od/wish/721376460 jjakobso22 https://padlet.com/pambrose1/golzqmv9ccd8o9od/wish/723832399 1: Colonists revolted to the new taxes by dumping all of the newly shipped British tea in the Boston Harbor.

Revenue raising act passed by parliament allowing them to higher taxes. This is also known as the American Revenue Act of 1764. This forced the Colonist to ration their sugar 

The sugar act was significant because it was the first tax on the American colonies from the British. The sugar act caused the colonist to question the British parliament. The sugar act grew the amount of colonist that wanted to join the movement. The colonist and the British parliament were involved. The British colonies were upset because the felt that it was taxation without representation. This caused the movement of the American revolution to grow.

The picture displays how the people of America would have to start rationing their sugar in order to provide restricted rations to England, France and Italy.
