What caused
the colonists
to unite
against Great
Britain?
War was very costly for the British
government
so, it raised taxes for colonists.
Stamp Act - 1765
• Colonists had to buy stamps and
place them on all printed
documents, including letters, wills,
newspapers, and even playing
cards.
• Colonists said the British could not
tax them without their consent.
• Staged a boycott (refusal to buy
goods or services from a person,
group, or country).
• Sons of Liberty was a group
formed to protest the Stamp Act.
• The Stamp Act was repealed in
1766.
“No Taxation,
Without Representation!”
First said by: Mercy Otis Warren and James Otis
Townshend Acts
• Taxed factory-made goods such as
paper, glass, and paint.
• Colonists boycotted the newly taxed
items and any colonial merchant who
sold or used taxed goods.
• British feared the boycotts would lead to
violence, so they sent troops to Boston,
whose citizens had caused most of the
trouble.
Boston Massacre
• Colonist gathered at the Boston Customs House,
where taxes on goods from Great Britain were paid.
• British soldiers fired into the crowd and killed 5
colonists.
Boston Tea Party
• British government repealed the Townshend Acts but
passed the Tea Act.
• Tea Act was to help the British East India
Company. It allowed the British East India
Company to sell tea without paying import
taxes.
• This angered colonists
because another law
had been passed without
their consent or approval.
Boston Massacre and Tea Party
Sons of Liberty
• Some colonists disguised as Mohawk, boarded
ships and emptied the tea chests into the harbor.
• Similar attacks also happened in
Annapolis, Maryland, and New York City.
Intolerable Acts
• Colonists called Parliament’s actions “The
Intolerable Acts” and became even more united
against Great Britain.
• Delegates (representatives) from the colonies
met in Philadelphia to discuss the problem.
• They formed the First Continental Congress to
decide what action to take against Great Britain.
