1754-1761: French and Indian War (aka 7yrs War) W ho: French v. British troops. Indians fought on both sides. Where: Ohio Valley Area, Canada region Why: Britain wanted to expand their territory into French lands. Importance: Led to a series of Acts (taxes) passed by the British King on the colonies. British won all land East of the Mississippi River.

Proclamation of 1763 Americans (colonists) were not allowed to move west of the Appalachian Mts. The area west of the mountains was considered Indian Territory. The King sent troops to border the control . Proclamation created after Pontiac’s War.

The Sugar Act of 1764 Tax on sugar, molasses, coffee, and indigo Created a writ of assistance which allowed custom officers to legally enter a smuggler’s property to search goods w/o evidence in an attempt to put an end to smuggling illegal goods into the colonies.

Quartering Act of 1765

The Stamp Act of 1765 Tax of all paper goods, like; playing cards, wills, marriage licenses, pamphlets, and newspapers . Also taxed stamps separately after the paper goods were purchase.

Effects of Stamp Act Boycotts ( an organized campaign to refuse to buy certain products ) began popping up everywhere. 1 st in NY, Boston, and Philly. In October 1765, petition was written demand to an end to the Sugar and Stamp Act. Parliament repealed this petition and passed the Declaratory Act instead saying Parliament had total control over the colonies.

Boston Massacre On March 5 th , 1770, Parliament had repealed the Townshend taxes-except the one on tea. On this same day in the colonies, an angry crowd of workers and sailors surrounded a small group of soldiers. They shouted , threw snowballs, and rocks, wounding six of the soldiers. Threatened soldiers fired into the crowd; killing five and wounding six. First to fall was Crispus Attucks, and African American sailor.

Crispus Attucks Boston Massacre

Boston Massacre Aftermath Governor Thomas Hutchinson tried to calm the colonists by having the 9 soldiers involved arrested and tried for murder. John Adams, a well known Mass. lawyer, defended them. He believed that in a free country every person accused of a crime had a right to a lawyer and fair trail. Only 2 soldiers were convicted.

Townshend Acts of 1767 Tax only imported goods instead of goods travelling in between colonies. Taxed goods like lead, glass, paper, and tea Stopped New York’s local government

Tea Act 1773 Lowered the price of tea by allowing the tea to be shipped directly to the colonies from India.

Boston Tea Party Sons of Liberty organized the stop of tea being unloaded from the ships in port cities. They threatened ship captains who were bringing in the tea and colonial tea merchants who said they’d buy it. On December 16,1773, a large group of men disguised as Native Americans boarded the tea ships and threw 342 cases of tea into the Boston Harbor. The raiders destroyed 90,000 pounds of tea worth thousands of dollars.

Boston Tea Party

Intolerable Acts 4 laws: Close the port of Boston And 3. increased the powers of the royal governor, abolished the upper house of the Massachusetts Legislature, and cut the powers of town meetings. Strengthened the Quartering Act of 1765

Effects of Intolerable Acts Americans in all colonies reacted by trying to help the people in Boston; sending food, and other supplies. First Continental Congress met and took place in Philly in Sept, and Oct 1774. The Congress demanded the repeal of the Intolerable Acts and declared that they colonies had a right to tax and govern themselves. Called for training of militias. Renewed boycott against British goods.
