The colonists viewed this as a law to prevent them from using land they had won in the French & Indian War. ]]> 2020-09-28 16:37:49 UTC https://padlet.com/annziesenheim/xxkzfi2f68ii46rg/wish/785071702 annziesenheim https://padlet.com/annziesenheim/xxkzfi2f68ii46rg/wish/785123199 The Sugar Act created taxes in sugar, indigo, textiles, and pimento that the colonists thought were unfair. The British’s side to it was that it was to help with the debt caused by the French & Indian War for the colonists. ]]> 2020-09-28 16:50:00 UTC https://padlet.com/annziesenheim/xxkzfi2f68ii46rg/wish/785123199 annziesenheim https://padlet.com/annziesenheim/xxkzfi2f68ii46rg/wish/785193752 The Stamp Act forced colonists to pay for stamps on paper goods which the British defended by saying colonists should help pay the war debt and that the colonists needed the British army, so they should help fund it. The colonists didn’t like the Stamp Act and stated that they shouldn’t have to pay for something they didn’t request (the protection of the British army). The Sons Of Liberty group was formed as a defense for the colonists against acts of parliament that took away liberty from colonists. ]]> 2020-09-28 17:07:04 UTC https://padlet.com/annziesenheim/xxkzfi2f68ii46rg/wish/785193752 annziesenheim https://padlet.com/annziesenheim/xxkzfi2f68ii46rg/wish/785215514 The Quartering Act was a law that required colonists to home and feed British Soldiers in North America. The British took it as simple payment for the Colonists to have protection from the British army, but the colonists took it as an invasion of privacy and being forced to pay for something they didn’t request. ]]> 2020-09-28 17:12:32 UTC https://padlet.com/annziesenheim/xxkzfi2f68ii46rg/wish/785215514 annziesenheim https://padlet.com/annziesenheim/xxkzfi2f68ii46rg/wish/804871187 The Declaratory Act was a statement of power for Britain over the Colonies, and it stated that Britain could make any laws for themselves and the colonies that they thought were necessary. ]]> 2020-10-05 21:59:39 UTC https://padlet.com/annziesenheim/xxkzfi2f68ii46rg/wish/804871187 annziesenheim https://padlet.com/annziesenheim/xxkzfi2f68ii46rg/wish/804878054  The Townshend Acts placed an indirect tax on lead, paint, tea, paper, and glass. Indirect means the colonists weren’t aware of the new tax, and it was passed on to them through higher prices. The colonists protested by boycotting and organizing protests/riots, and after all this, the act was repealed. ]]> 2020-10-05 22:04:20 UTC https://padlet.com/annziesenheim/xxkzfi2f68ii46rg/wish/804878054 annziesenheim https://padlet.com/annziesenheim/xxkzfi2f68ii46rg/wish/804900871 The Boston Massacre happened on March 5, 1770 when a shots were fired from British soldiers into a crowd of colonists. The main cause of the shots being fired is still a mystery, but colonists took the Boston Massacre as an opportunity to gain supporters for the patriots. ]]> 2020-10-05 22:19:55 UTC https://padlet.com/annziesenheim/xxkzfi2f68ii46rg/wish/804900871 annziesenheim https://padlet.com/annziesenheim/xxkzfi2f68ii46rg/wish/804908280 The Tea Act permitted the British East India Company, and only the British East India Company, to import tea directly to the colonies. This angered the colonies because they felt this took away their ability to choose the tea they wanted to buy, and they named it an unfair trade. As a result, the colonists boycotted and protested. ]]> 2020-10-05 22:25:30 UTC https://padlet.com/annziesenheim/xxkzfi2f68ii46rg/wish/804908280 annziesenheim https://padlet.com/annziesenheim/xxkzfi2f68ii46rg/wish/804961790 The Boston Tea Party was a result of colonists not wanting to pay a tax on tea. There was a standoff between the Sons of Liberty and Royal Governor Thomas Hutchinson, and by the end of it, Samuel Adams of Sons of Liberty decided to do something. That something was to have patriots board the ships and start to throw tea overboard. £15,000 worth of tea was destroyed that night. ]]> 2020-10-05 23:05:04 UTC https://padlet.com/annziesenheim/xxkzfi2f68ii46rg/wish/804961790 annziesenheim https://padlet.com/annziesenheim/xxkzfi2f68ii46rg/wish/804981692 After The Boston Tea Party, the British saw another need to reinforce their power over the colonies. They passed a series of acts that would forcefully influence the colonies into conforming with British rules. In response to this, the colonists sent delegates to Philadelphia to discuss the next steps in resisting British rule. ]]> 2020-10-05 23:19:49 UTC https://padlet.com/annziesenheim/xxkzfi2f68ii46rg/wish/804981692 annziesenheim https://padlet.com/annziesenheim/xxkzfi2f68ii46rg/wish/810545756 The First Continental Congress was created to answer questions about how the colonists would react to the Coercive Acts. ]]> 2020-10-07 14:53:50 UTC https://padlet.com/annziesenheim/xxkzfi2f68ii46rg/wish/810545756 annziesenheim https://padlet.com/annziesenheim/xxkzfi2f68ii46rg/wish/810564082 The British left Boston in hopes to capture some of the leaders of the Sons of Liberty and they also hoped to capture gunpowder being held by the Sons of Liberty. Paul Revere and others warned the colonists about this and that’s where the battles started. ]]> 2020-10-07 14:57:55 UTC https://padlet.com/annziesenheim/xxkzfi2f68ii46rg/wish/810564082 annziesenheim https://padlet.com/annziesenheim/xxkzfi2f68ii46rg/wish/810612463 The Olive Branch Petition was a document in which colonists pledged their loyalty to Britain and asserted their rights as British citizens.
