The French & Indian war
The French & Indian war is when the French and
the Indians fought for the Ohio river valley in
the 1600’s. The British, France and Spain fought
often for land. The natives were called Indians
which named the event The French & Indian
War. The British lost pretty often because there
red uniforms were the perfect targets. After a
while the British troops took over Quebec. After
that the British wanted peace.
The Proclamation 0f 1763
The Proclamation of 1763 is when the
British didn’t let the colonists move west
from the Appalachian mountains. So the
colonists got mad from that and they kept
moving west. Around 2,000 settlers died
because of the fighting that happened.
The Quartering act
The British parliament passed a law that
said they had to provide them with food,
fuel, candles and transportation. Some
colonists weren’t the friendliest to the
British soldiers. It was caused by the
French and Indian War because the
French or the Natives might harm them.
The Stamp act
When the French and the Indian war was over
Britain was in debt. Then the parliament taxed
the colonists. This act is know the Stamp act.
Since the stamp act was around they taxed
printed papers, pamphlets, marriage licenses
and playing cards. To show that they paid tax
the printed paper had to have a blue stamp.
Some colonists refused to purchase stamps until
the parliament in March 1766 repealed the law.
The Boston Massacre
In 1770 5 people died in the Massacre and 6
people were wounded. It all started when the
towns people were throwing pieces of wood
chunks, snowballs and sharp pieces of ice at a
British troop. A small mob of colonists on King
street started this fight the troops Lobster backs
and Bloody backs. Soon other troops came out
to fight. Captain Preston yelled “ DON’T FIRE”
when a soldier heard “ FIRE” he shot into the
crowd, the mob grew closer and the British
soldiers shot and they got scared.
The Boston Tea Party
The Boston tea party is when the sons of
liberty dressed up as Indians and they
went and boarded the ship with tea. They
got axes and cut the wood barrels open
with tea in it, they dumped 90,000 pounds
of tea into the Boston Harbor. This
happened after the Boston Massacre.
The Intolerable act
The parliament punished the colonists by
making new laws. These laws were very
harsh that they said they can not accepted
them. The colonists said they will help by
sending supplies. After a while they had
the first continental congress. The
colonists dumped the tea into the mouth
of the tax collector and he was plucked
with feathers.
The Boston Port Act (Extra credit)
The Boston Port act closed the Boston
Harbor. Traidships couldn’t enter or leave
the harbor until the tea was paid.
