This certain act was used to assist the payments of the British and their men that were once stationed in the colonies. The need for the colonists to always pay taxes using those certain stamps on anything important of course angered them. In response, many of the British had decided to riot, boycott, along with targeting the tax collectors. Eventually, the Stamp Act concluded on October 25, 1765.]]> 2022-09-11 20:35:17 UTC https://padlet.com/ar981165/yij1mksmb0mzdggj/wish/2291400745 ar981165 https://padlet.com/ar981165/yij1mksmb0mzdggj/wish/2291401428 The protest of the Boston Tea Party occurred on December 16 of the year 1773. This politically happened due to the annoyance of the British causing so called “taxation without representation.” So there at Griffin’s Wharf in Boston, Massachusetts the American Colonists had decided to dump 342 chests of tea straight into the harbor's water. This was a way for the colonists to show and prove to Britain that they were no longer able to  endure that treatment. This of course gave Americans more purpose to then fight for their independence. ]]> 2022-09-11 20:36:46 UTC https://padlet.com/ar981165/yij1mksmb0mzdggj/wish/2291401428 ar981165 https://padlet.com/ar981165/yij1mksmb0mzdggj/wish/2291402129 The Battle of Lexington and Concord took place on April 19, 1775 and it is what first initiated the American Revolutionary War.
