Great Britain gained a great deal of territory in North America as a result of the war, but disagreements over how to pay for the war's expenses and future frontier policies ultimately sparked colonial unrest and the American Revolution. 26aherbst https://padlet.com/26aherbst/x2uupugrai56ousi/wish/2815362872 2023-12-06 02:36:55 UTC https://padlet.com/26aherbst/x2uupugrai56ousi/wish/2815362872 26aherbst https://padlet.com/26aherbst/x2uupugrai56ousi/wish/2815364493 2023-12-06 02:38:21 UTC https://padlet.com/26aherbst/x2uupugrai56ousi/wish/2815364493 A boundary created by the British and placed in the Appalachian Mountains at the Eastern Continental Divide is known as the Proclamation Line of 1763. The Proclamation Line, which was issued on October 7, 1763, forbade Anglo-American colonists from settling on land that had been taken from the French after the French and Indian War. This sparked an outrage from the colonists, who promptly protested. 26aherbst https://padlet.com/26aherbst/x2uupugrai56ousi/wish/2815368819 2023-12-06 02:42:05 UTC https://padlet.com/26aherbst/x2uupugrai56ousi/wish/2815368819 26aherbst https://padlet.com/26aherbst/x2uupugrai56ousi/wish/2815369727 2023-12-06 02:42:52 UTC https://padlet.com/26aherbst/x2uupugrai56ousi/wish/2815369727 26aherbst https://padlet.com/26aherbst/x2uupugrai56ousi/wish/2815370516 2023-12-06 02:43:31 UTC https://padlet.com/26aherbst/x2uupugrai56ousi/wish/2815370516 The Sugar Act was passed on April 5, 1764. Although, it fully went into effect on September 29. It kept a high tariff on foreign refined sugar and forbade the importation of any foreign rum in addition to reducing the price on foreign molasses. The currency act established sanctions for disobedient Colonial government members, even in the face of a persistent cash scarcity. Both of these acts also promptly caused protest in the Colonies. 26aherbst https://padlet.com/26aherbst/x2uupugrai56ousi/wish/2815375211 2023-12-06 02:47:21 UTC https://padlet.com/26aherbst/x2uupugrai56ousi/wish/2815375211 26aherbst https://padlet.com/26aherbst/x2uupugrai56ousi/wish/2815376078 2023-12-06 02:48:09 UTC https://padlet.com/26aherbst/x2uupugrai56ousi/wish/2815376078 26aherbst https://padlet.com/26aherbst/x2uupugrai56ousi/wish/2815376752 2023-12-06 02:48:44 UTC https://padlet.com/26aherbst/x2uupugrai56ousi/wish/2815376752 The British Parliament passed the "Stamp Act" on March 22, 1765. The act mandated that the colonists pay a fee on different types of paper, documents, and playing cards, which was represented by a stamp. The Quartering Act stated that US public places and barracks would be used to lodge British soldiers. Additionally, soldiers would be housed in inns, alehouses, barns, and other buildings if their numbers exceeded those of colonial homes. 26aherbst https://padlet.com/26aherbst/x2uupugrai56ousi/wish/2815381174 2023-12-06 02:52:03 UTC https://padlet.com/26aherbst/x2uupugrai56ousi/wish/2815381174 This also continued to spread unrest and resistance throughout the colonies, and ideas of democracy and of rebellion against Britain began to develop. 26aherbst https://padlet.com/26aherbst/x2uupugrai56ousi/wish/2815381392 2023-12-06 02:52:14 UTC https://padlet.com/26aherbst/x2uupugrai56ousi/wish/2815381392 26aherbst https://padlet.com/26aherbst/x2uupugrai56ousi/wish/2815382047 2023-12-06 02:52:42 UTC https://padlet.com/26aherbst/x2uupugrai56ousi/wish/2815382047 26aherbst https://padlet.com/26aherbst/x2uupugrai56ousi/wish/2815382963 2023-12-06 02:53:15 UTC https://padlet.com/26aherbst/x2uupugrai56ousi/wish/2815382963 26aherbst https://padlet.com/26aherbst/x2uupugrai56ousi/wish/2815383909 2023-12-06 02:53:52 UTC https://padlet.com/26aherbst/x2uupugrai56ousi/wish/2815383909 The Declaratory Act was create because Britain wanted to tighten his grip on all of the protesting that was occurring in the colonies. This act was passed to assert the authority of the British government to tax its subjects in North America after it repealed the much-hated Stamp Act. Basically, this act was made for Great Britain to just say that "I can tax you America," since they believed (and really were) the rightful mother country of the colonies. 26aherbst https://padlet.com/26aherbst/x2uupugrai56ousi/wish/2815387599 2023-12-06 02:56:40 UTC https://padlet.com/26aherbst/x2uupugrai56ousi/wish/2815387599 The Townshend Acts were created to help pay the debt for the French and Indian war, and further show dominance over the colonies. The British were in massive debt after the French and Indian War, and they decided that since the war started because of the colonies in North America, they needed to pay the debt of the war. So, they created the Townshend acts to generate money, which initiated taxes on glass, lead, paint, paper, and tea. Nonimportation. 26aherbst https://padlet.com/26aherbst/x2uupugrai56ousi/wish/2815392927 2023-12-06 03:00:32 UTC https://padlet.com/26aherbst/x2uupugrai56ousi/wish/2815392927 In response to new taxes, the colonies again decided to discourage the purchase of British imports. Goods were boycotted, and protested became even more rampent. 26aherbst https://padlet.com/26aherbst/x2uupugrai56ousi/wish/2815393296 2023-12-06 03:00:49 UTC https://padlet.com/26aherbst/x2uupugrai56ousi/wish/2815393296 26aherbst https://padlet.com/26aherbst/x2uupugrai56ousi/wish/2815394124 2023-12-06 03:01:26 UTC https://padlet.com/26aherbst/x2uupugrai56ousi/wish/2815394124 26aherbst https://padlet.com/26aherbst/x2uupugrai56ousi/wish/2815394535 2023-12-06 03:01:45 UTC https://padlet.com/26aherbst/x2uupugrai56ousi/wish/2815394535 The Boston Massacre was a street fight that occurred on March 5, 1770, in which a colonist mob, throwing snowballs, stones, and sticks, and a squad of British soldiers.

As a result, the East India Company received a tax break on their tea, making it less expensive than tea that was being brought into the colonies illegally. 26aherbst https://padlet.com/26aherbst/x2uupugrai56ousi/wish/2815398623 2023-12-06 03:04:59 UTC https://padlet.com/26aherbst/x2uupugrai56ousi/wish/2815398623 In response to the tea act, an American colonist group called the Sons of Liberty dressed in Native American attire, boarded three British vessels, and threw all of the tea onboard into the sea.

It began in 1765 and lasted until 1783. The war officially began with the battle of Lexington and Concord, when British and American minutemen (militia) fired upon each other. 26aherbst https://padlet.com/26aherbst/x2uupugrai56ousi/wish/2815404261 2023-12-06 03:09:16 UTC https://padlet.com/26aherbst/x2uupugrai56ousi/wish/2815404261 This mainly occurred from all of the propoganda and unrest that was widespread throughout the colonies. The British did not effectively suppress the unrest, and instead created more and more taxes that infuriated the colonists more and more. The colonists were mostly infuriated at the "No Taxation without Representation" factor, which they argued that they deserved representation in the British Parliament for all of the taxes that were being imposed upon them. 26aherbst https://padlet.com/26aherbst/x2uupugrai56ousi/wish/2815406842 2023-12-06 03:11:27 UTC https://padlet.com/26aherbst/x2uupugrai56ousi/wish/2815406842 26aherbst https://padlet.com/26aherbst/x2uupugrai56ousi/wish/2815407876 2023-12-06 03:12:19 UTC https://padlet.com/26aherbst/x2uupugrai56ousi/wish/2815407876 26aherbst https://padlet.com/26aherbst/x2uupugrai56ousi/wish/2815408273 2023-12-06 03:12:39 UTC https://padlet.com/26aherbst/x2uupugrai56ousi/wish/2815408273 26aherbst https://padlet.com/26aherbst/x2uupugrai56ousi/wish/2815408527 2023-12-06 03:12:54 UTC https://padlet.com/26aherbst/x2uupugrai56ousi/wish/2815408527
