Ignoring the Royal Proclamation Many American colonists ignored and ventured west and created settlements.

In the colonies, leaders had been glad when the Stamp Act was repealed, but the Declaratory Act was a new threat to their independence. Britain continued to impose taxes on the colonists, reactions turned violent toward tories and British officials.

The Sugar Act was an extension of the Molasses Act which was established in 1733. The Sugar Act was proposed by Prime Minister George Grenville.

The King and Parliament believed they had the right to tax the colonies.... Many colonists didn’t want to pay these taxes, because they were passed in England by Parliament, not by their own colonial governments.

The Boston Tea Party was the colonists reaction which made the king react with the Intolerable Acts.


]]> 2021-12-10 16:03:14 UTC https://padlet.com/sandra_kuhn/j6p3kjinibuyvi9n/wish/1940640468 Townshend Acts June-July, 1767 ArturoTheChurro https://padlet.com/sandra_kuhn/j6p3kjinibuyvi9n/wish/1940646549 Suspended New York assembly. Lawmakers were forbidden to do any business until they met the demands of General Gage to house his troops.

Riotous protest of the Townshend Acts in the colonies often invoked the phrase no taxation without representation. Colonists eventually decided not to import British goods until the act was repealed.

The Intolerable act had 4 new rules for the colonists those being 

  1. The king closed the Boston port until colonists paid for the destroyed tea
  2. Restricted representative government in Massachusetts
  3. Allowed British commanders to house troops wherever necessary
  4. Allowed British officials to get a trial if accused of a crime

Many colonists saw the Intolerable Acts as a violation of their rights and their colonial charters. They, therefore, viewed the acts as a threat to the liberties of all of British America, not just Massachusetts.

The Congress also called on each colony to begin training soldiers. The meeting of the First Continental Congress marked an important step in American history.

Colonists responded to the First Continental Congress, 1774.... Asserting that they had "no other motive than a dread of impending destruction," the delegates to the First Continental Congress petitioned King George III to (finally) give attention to their enumerated and long ignored grievances.

Adverse colonial reactions to the Stamp Act ranged from boycotts of British goods to riots and attacks on the tax collectors.

John Adams called the petition an “ olive branch.” Olive tree branches are an ancient symbol of peace.

Olive branch petition

George III reacted to the petition by declaring his own Proclamation of Rebellion. This document, issued August 23, 1775, declared certain elements of the American colonies in a state of “open and avowed rebellion”

2nd Continental Congress

The Second Continental Congress was dismissed as an illegal assembly of rebels. At the same time, the British also confiscated a letter authored by John Adams, which expressed frustration with attempts to make peace with the British.

The king reacted by having those who are guilty arrested.

He persuaded Parliament to repeal all the townshend acts except for the tax on tea.

Colonists organized boycotts of British goods to pressure Parliament to repeal the Townshend Acts.


]]> 2021-12-10 16:31:04 UTC https://padlet.com/sandra_kuhn/j6p3kjinibuyvi9n/wish/1940694672 Boston Massacre Mar, 1770 hws54 https://padlet.com/sandra_kuhn/j6p3kjinibuyvi9n/wish/1940696758 Four men were killed or terribly wounded from a redcoat squad and the red coats stroked because they were nervous because the colonists were throwing stuff at them.

The colonists were already convinced that the British had passed laws that violated colonial rights.


]]> 2021-12-10 16:32:13 UTC https://padlet.com/sandra_kuhn/j6p3kjinibuyvi9n/wish/1940696758 Quartering Act Mar 24, 1765 hws54 https://padlet.com/sandra_kuhn/j6p3kjinibuyvi9n/wish/1940701496 Required colonial assemblies to provide shelter and/or quarters for British Troops. The New York assembly didn't approve funds for “Salt, Vinegar and Liquor” for troops. The British wouldn't let the assembly meet until they agreed to the Quartering Act.

American colonists resented and opposed the Quartering Act of 1765, because they were being taxed to pay for provisions and barracks for the army not because it meant they had to house British soldiers in their homes, but– a standing army that they thought was unnecessary during peacetime.
