         <description><![CDATA[<div>"The British were left with a mountain of debt. And now they had to keep 10,000 soldiers in North America to protect all their new land. That's not cheap.

As he put it:<br><em>"The nation has run itself into an immense debt to give them protection; and now they are called upon to contribute a small share toward the public expense."</em><br>Grenville's plan was called the Stamp Act.<br><a href="http://us.macmillan.com/excerpt?isbn=9781250075772">http://us.macmillan.com/excerpt?isbn=9781250075772</a><br>In 1765 it was the year that the britain created the stamp act. The only people involved with the stamp act was the britain and their colonists. When the law was created the britain was placed with the colonists. The stamp act in one was created to give money to the britain and to pay back money. `<br><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div><strong><em>What started the Boston Massacre</em></strong><br>Tensions between the American colonists and the British were already running high in the early spring of 1770. Late in the afternoon, on March 5, a crowd of jeering Bostonians slinging snowballs gathered around a small group of British soldiers guarding the Boston Customs House.&nbsp;</div><blockquote><a href="http://www.americaslibrary.gov/jb/revolut/jb_revolut_boston_1.html">http://www.americaslibrary.gov/jb/revolut/jb_revolut_boston_1.html</a></blockquote><div><strong><em>Why this made the colonists angry?<br></em></strong>After the Boston Massacre, colonists were largely outraged at what they saw as a vicious attack on unarmed civilians<strong>.</strong> Supporters of the Patriot movement were quick to capitalize on this, and they released engravings and written accounts of the incident designed to portray the British soldiers in the most negative light possible.</div><blockquote><a href="https://www.reference.com/history/did-colonists-react-boston-massacre-97bceb85093c0e23">https://www.reference.com/history/did-colonists-react-boston-massacre-97bceb85093c0e23</a></blockquote><div><strong><em>Why the colonists protested?</em></strong><br>Boston’s anger at British taxes and policies exploded at town meetings. These meetings drew thousands of people who could not fit inside the usual town meeting place at Faneuil Hall, and instead were held at Old South Meeting House, the largest gathering place in Boston.</div><blockquote><a href="http://www.osmh.org/history/protest-and-revolution">http://www.osmh.org/history/protest-and-revolution</a></blockquote><div>&nbsp;<strong><em>How the colonists protested?&nbsp; and &nbsp; How did the&nbsp; British react?<br></em></strong>The ultimate response of the British government to these protests was to repeal the Townshend Acts.&nbsp; They revoked all of the taxes imposed by these acts except for the tax on tea.When the Townshend taxes were imposed, there was a great deal of protest in the colonies.&nbsp; The British reacted to this with some degree of force.&nbsp; They sent troops to Boston, which eventually led to the Boston Massacre.&nbsp; However, the force did not work and did not last.&nbsp; The colonists’ non-importation efforts started to hurt British merchants.&nbsp; These merchants put enough pressure on the government that they eventually repealed almost all of the taxes.</div><blockquote><a href="http://www.enotes.com/homework-help/how-did-british-government-react-colonists-protest-365782">http://www.enotes.com/homework-help/how-did-british-government-react-colonists-protest-365782</a></blockquote><div><strong><em>What was the outcome of the protest?</em></strong><br>The Massacre trials ended quietly. Samuel Adams wrote several articles in the Boston Gazette during December, 1770, under the pseudonym "Vindex," that accused the soldiers of escaping with blood on their hands. But the mood had changed in Boston since the Massacre. He turned his attentions to keeping the memory of the Massacre alive, organizing annual commemorations on March 5, a tradition that lasted until 1783.</div><blockquote><a href="http://www.bostonmassacre.net/trial/trial-results.htm">http://www.bostonmassacre.net/trial/trial-results.htm</a></blockquote><div><br></div>]]></description>

         <title>committees of correspondence - Alden Tran</title>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>before the war, the committees of correspondence were used to communicate with britain. boston created the first committees of correspondence to encourage opposition to british stiffening of not being able to use american paper money. Several years later, Boston creates another committee of correspondence to talk to the other towns in province. In March 1773, the Virginia House of Burgesses proposed that each colonial legislature appoint a standing committee for intercolonial correspondence. Within a year, nearly all had joined the network, and more committees were formed at the town and county levels. The exchanges that followed helped build a sense of solidarity, as common grievances were discussed and common responses agreed upon. When the First Continental Congress was held in September 1774, it represented the logical evolution of the intercolonial communication that had begun with the Committees of Correspondence.&nbsp; The links that I got the info from:<a href="http://www.history.com/topics/american-revolution/committees-of-correspondence">http://www.history.com/topics/american-revolution/committees-of-correspondence</a><br><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div><strong>This famed act of American colonial defiance served as a protest against taxation. Seeking to boost the troubled East India Company, British Parliament adjusted import duties with the passage of the Tea Act in 1773. While consignees in Charleston, New York, and Philadelphia rejected tea shipments, merchants in Boston refused to concede to Patriot pressure. On the night of December 16, 1773, Samuel Adams and the Sons of Liberty boarded three ships in the Boston harbor and threw 342 chests of tea overboard. This resulted in the passage of the punitive Coercive Acts in 1774 and pushed the two sides closer to war.</strong></div><div>The bolded words are all secondary person propaganda because it is not using words but describing from other that was not involved or witnessed it.&nbsp;</div><div><figure class="attachment attachment-preview" data-trix-attachment="{&quot;contentType&quot;:&quot;image&quot;,&quot;height&quot;:266,&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/52/Boston_Tea_Party_Currier_colored.jpg/375px-Boston_Tea_Party_Currier_colored.jpg&quot;,&quot;width&quot;:375}" data-trix-content-type="image"><img src="https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/52/Boston_Tea_Party_Currier_colored.jpg/375px-Boston_Tea_Party_Currier_colored.jpg" width="375" height="266"><figcaption class="caption"></figcaption></figure></div><div>(above)This is a primary source because it is a painting of the british tea party and was the actual one.<br><br><em>This link is the cite where I got the info of what happened at the Tea Party</em></div><div><a href="http://www.history.com/topics/american-revolution/boston-tea-party">http://www.history.com/topics/american-revolution/boston-tea-party</a><br><strong><em>What made the colonists angry?</em></strong>&nbsp; &nbsp;<br>King George believed that the colonists had the rights to pay the taxes that made them pay the taxes for the debt that left after the French and Indian war and bringing mens which is not cheap. <strong><em><br>&nbsp;The passage <br></em></strong><a href="http://historyisfun.org/pdf/tea-overboard/why_were_the_american_colonies_unhappy_with_the_british_government.pdf"><strong><em>http://historyisfun.org/pdf/tea-<br>'overboard/why_were_the_american_colonies_unhappy_with_the_british_government.pdf</em></strong></a><br>why the Boston Tea Party was very important in history of U.S<strong><br></strong>This action, part of a wave of resistance throughout the colonies, had its origin in Parliament’s effort to rescue the financially weakened East India Company so as to continue benefiting from the company’s valuable position in India.
