There was a fight and the French and the Native Americans worked together to fight the English. The Indians sided the French because the Indians were tired of the English taking their land. After 7 years the English won and in a result the French lost a lot of their land.]]> 2020-02-11 15:50:05 UTC https://padlet.com/gracetay2019/q87jev67efro/wish/443755659 gracetay2019 https://padlet.com/gracetay2019/q87jev67efro/wish/443768114 The Royal Proclamation 1763.
Everyone wanted to move West. The Royal Proclamation is when the king told everyone that they could not go past the Appalachian Mountains.English had to spend more money to keep the colonists safe from American Indians attacks and to help them. (The king didn’t want to spend the money) The king sent more soldiers not to protect settlers, but to make people follow his rule. Boy, did this start a rumble!]]> 2020-02-11 16:03:55 UTC https://padlet.com/gracetay2019/q87jev67efro/wish/443768114 gracetay2019 https://padlet.com/gracetay2019/q87jev67efro/wish/443781383 The Quartering Act: 1765
Colonists where FORCED to let any English soldiers into their home and the were also forced to give the soilders what ever they wanted when ever.]]> 2020-02-11 16:19:49 UTC https://padlet.com/gracetay2019/q87jev67efro/wish/443781383 gracetay2019 https://padlet.com/gracetay2019/q87jev67efro/wish/444413061 The Stamp Act: 1765
King George hated losing money. He wanted to get more money. So he taxed the colonists. Any paper that was sent to England had to have a stamp. (Even birth certificates and cards!) The stamp costs a little extra money. This caused more that rumbling; it caused riots!  The king sents soilders to help control the protests.The colonists we’re getting very mad.)A while later the king repealed (canceled) the Stamp Act in 1766. ]]> 2020-02-12 15:45:10 UTC https://padlet.com/gracetay2019/q87jev67efro/wish/444413061 gracetay2019 https://padlet.com/gracetay2019/q87jev67efro/wish/444424442 The Townshed Acts: 1767
Charles Townshed hoped to lower taxes for the people in England, but England still needed money. So... the king came up  with a solution! To tax more thing such as glass,tea,paper and led. The colonists didn’t like this idea very much so then the colonists boycotted (refusing to buy) British goods.]]> 2020-02-12 15:59:03 UTC https://padlet.com/gracetay2019/q87jev67efro/wish/444424442 gracetay2019 https://padlet.com/gracetay2019/q87jev67efro/wish/445049586 The Boston Massacre: 1770
One nice March evening a very angry mob of colonists marched toward British soilders. They yelled and threw snowballs (dumb idea) at the soilders. Well what door think that the red coats did? They open fired! 5 Americans were killed and many were wounded. Within the dead there was a man named Crispus Attucks,an African American who was actually considered the 1st person killed in the revolutionary war. The mob went coo-coo crazy mad and the red coats fled.]]> 2020-02-13 15:25:48 UTC https://padlet.com/gracetay2019/q87jev67efro/wish/445049586 gracetay2019 https://padlet.com/gracetay2019/q87jev67efro/wish/445136518 The Tea Act
The was not another tax on tea it was another rule that if someone buys tea they have to buy it from British East Company. The colonists refused to follow this rule. The colonists like British tea, but they didn’t like paying for it. Smuglers (people who bring thing in a place illegally) were overjoyed! They snuck tea illegal into the colonies. They were so mad (not at the smuglers)that they even blocked the ships that were  coming here with tea. ]]> 2020-02-13 17:07:20 UTC https://padlet.com/gracetay2019/q87jev67efro/wish/445136518 gracetay2019 https://padlet.com/gracetay2019/q87jev67efro/wish/445284078 The Boston Tea Party: 1773
On a December night a few colonists, disguised as American Indians, snuck onto 3 ships and dumped 9,000 pounds of tea!! They never did hurt anyone or the crates of tea. This is a very strong message to England: “No taxation without representation!” King George was FURIOUS! This was a HUGE step towards the Revolutionary War.]]> 2020-02-13 20:36:05 UTC https://padlet.com/gracetay2019/q87jev67efro/wish/445284078 gracetay2019 https://padlet.com/gracetay2019/q87jev67efro/wish/445631232 The Intolerable Act: 1774
The king was FURIOUS and kept making more and more rules. He completely closed down the Boston Harbor for business. Also he made a rule that any soilders that was accused that they would be tried in Englandand not in the Colonies. The poor Massachusetts lost its charter. He even reinforced th Quarting Act. Boy oh boy, did this start a rumble
