to in the colonies, was the beginning of open
hostilities between the colonies and Gr.

war between England and the American
colonies, against the French and some of the
Indians in North America.

conflicts that had arisen between the Native
Americans and the colonists due to the
French and Indian War.

imposed on all American colonists and required
them to pay a tax on every piece of printed paper
they used. Ship's papers, legal documents,
licenses, newspapers, other publications, and
even playing cards were taxed. The money

help pay the costs of defending and protecting
the American frontier near the Appalachian
Mountains

its soldiers in American barracks and public houses, as by the
mutiny act but if its soldiers outnumbered the housing
available

group of laws that came to be known as the Intolerable Acts.

In Boston in early summer of 1765 a group of
shopkeepers and artisans who called
themselves The Loyal Nine, began preparing
for agitation against the Stamp Act. As that

Massachusetts in protest of the Stamp Act of
1765.
