Although there was a growing influence of independence among colonists stemming from the philosophy of Enlightenment through Locke’s writing, it was particularly the direct actions of the Boston Tea Party that ultimately advanced the influence of self-governance and independence throughout the colonies. Frustrated at Britain’s tax on tea, the Colonists sought to take action through a political protest to impede the British authority present within the colonies by inevitably dumping British tea into the Massachusetts Harbor. Together, the Colonists and Sons of Liberty sought to express their views on the evergrowing British authority by protesting in opposition of the idea, “taxation without representation”  that was imposed by the British Parliament. To gain a state of independence and self-governance from the Imperialistic grasp of Britain, it was necessary for the Colonists to take direct actions through the Boston Tea Party. As a result, the Boston Tea Party was significant in promoting liberty and self-rule as it took the initiative to greatly influence the Colonists to disrupt British Authority.]]> 2022-01-26 15:56:40 UTC https://padlet.com/jterhaar1/x4st6s7yugomrsm6/wish/2013866137 ian_mahon23 https://padlet.com/jterhaar1/x4st6s7yugomrsm6/wish/2013915826 The Colonist’s want of freedom from the oppression of King George influenced the American colonial reaction to British imperial authority. High taxed goods without representation placed on British goods to support the failing East India Company such as: the stamp act, sugar act, and tea act aggravated the colonists. The lack of colonial representation in the British parliament made the colonists feel oppressed under King George and oppose his authority. The Boston tea party proves this because colonists protested British taxation, and this is further shown in the declaration of independence where it is mentioned that one of their main reasons was taxation without representation. These events are important to show that the want of freedom of oppression was the most influential cause in the American colonial reaction to British authority, because they were major events that inspired other colonists to take action for their shared ideals.]]> 2022-01-26 16:15:33 UTC https://padlet.com/jterhaar1/x4st6s7yugomrsm6/wish/2013915826 elise_scherrer23 https://padlet.com/jterhaar1/x4st6s7yugomrsm6/wish/2013921891 Taxes and acts were very influential in the starting of the Revolutionary War. There were many reasons why the Revolutionary War was caused, however, it is imperative to recognize the importance of the excessive taxation and the effects it had on the American colonists. To begin, after the French and Indian War there was an extreme amount of debt that had been acquired, therefore King George III imposed extreme acts including the stamp act, the quartering act, and the tea act, along with the proclamation of 1763, which prevented colonists from expanding and growing. Enraged with immoderate taxation, the American colonists decided to rebel in many ways, the most well known was the Boston Tea Party  of 1773 and the unfortunate Boston Massacre of 1770. Colonists attempted to keep peace through the Olive Branch Petition, which would prevent a formal declaration of war between colonists and Britain. These acts were so important to the cause of the revolutionary war because with each act implementation, a riot or fight against them followed. You can see this in the tea act, which was followed by the Boston Tea Party. Britain believed they had control over these colonies because they moved those lands owned by Britain. They also believed that these acts were beneficial because they helped Britain pay for the French and Indian War. Implementations like the Proclamation of 1763 were beneficial for Britain because they helped maintain control over the colonists. However, because there was so much management from Britain, Colonists rebelled and in turn, fought for their independence.

To reinstate the idea of the British being in power, redcoats were placed in Boston to maintain order. This soon led to the Quartering Act which allowed British soldiers to stay in the homes of any American colonist without their say and be provided with food. Another act imposed on the colonists was the Tea Act where tea could only be purchased from the British East India Company so that the revenue from taxes would go directly to the British government. Anger soon boiled over, resulting in the execution of the Boston Tea Party where American colonists dumped tea overboard in protest of taxation without representation. The Boston Tea Party was an important step in leading to the colonists’ realization that they wanted to be separated from Britain. Overall, the hostile feelings and events created from these acts led to the American Revolution.

One major example of this could be the Boston Tea Party. The Boston Tea Party was created as a result of the Tea Act which placed a tax on tea to Colonial America. This was considered outrageous and in anger, the Colonists decided to protest and dumped 342 chests of tea into the Boston Harbor. In response King George III issued more red coats to deploy in the city of Boston, thus creating more tension between Colonial America and Britain. ]]> 2022-01-26 16:23:05 UTC https://padlet.com/jterhaar1/x4st6s7yugomrsm6/wish/2013937422 paris_lotito23 https://padlet.com/jterhaar1/x4st6s7yugomrsm6/wish/2013938356 Although the colonists’ hatred of the British military presence and harsh restrictions pushed the colonists further towards their ideals of self government, the increase of taxes such as the Stamp Act and Molasses Act, was what truly pushed the colonists over the edge, because these taxes, in turn, were what ultimately funded the British military presence and other methods used to restrict the colonists. The Townshend Acts, Tea Act, and Sugar Act taxed the colonists on things that they used most. The colonists felt that they were paying an unfair amount of taxes without their conditions and lifestyles even being considered, and without their own input or consent, which is why they laid out their complaint: taxation without representation. The strong military presence in the British colonies, specifically near ports and high areas of trade, created a looming presence in the lives of everyday people, exacerbating tensions between the British government and colonists. However, the British government claimed that they did have virtual representation in Parliament and they were considered in all decisions made by Parliament. The members of Parliament were very generous toward the colonies and taxed them what they believed to be fair. The colonists even had less expensive taxes than those in Britain, but they still wanted direct representation.
