No Taxation Without Representation!!

•The Sugar Act•The Stamp Act• Townshend Acts

SUGAR ACTHTTP://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=9UNRQGQULM8 (40 SECONDS)

1760-1769 Parliament passes tax on tea, textiles, and sugar and the goods imported from non-British sources. This act lowered the duty on colonial imports of foreign molasses .

STAMP ACTThe Stamp Act Congress was a meeting held at the Federal Hall In New York City on October 19, 1765. It was held by primarily the members of the "Sons of Liberty", a secret organization of the American patriots, for which Benjamin Franklin drew the infamous "Join or Die" pamphlet. This pamphlet calls for the union of the states reasoning that like a snake, if one piece is chopped off, everybody else is going to simply suffer and it will be the end of the colonies. The delegates from certain states agreed upon signing the "Declaration of Rights and Grievances", which they sent to the King and the Parliament. 

Franklin’s purpose in giving a copy of this cartoon to the members of Parliament was to warn members of Parliament that the failure to repeal the Stamp Act could cause the colonies to strike against England.

TOWNSHEND ACTS Parliament Passed on July 2 1767, The Townshed Acts .These laws placed a tax on common products imported into the American Colonies, such as lead, paper, paint, glass, and tea, while giving revenues from these taxes to the British governors and other officials that were normally paid by town assemblies. The Townshend Acts represent the continued efforts of Parliament to place a portion of the large debt incurred by French and Indian War.

DECLARATORY ACTS- Gave Parliament

the supreme control to govern the colonies.

Boston Massacre

•Boston Massacre•Boston Tea Party/Tea Act•Intolerable Acts

BOSTON MASSACRE In the picture the men holding the guns shooting the colonists that are laying on the ground dead are the Red Coats. The Boston Massacre took place in Boston, Massachusetts on the date of March 5, 1770. The Boston Massacre was a huge fight between the Boston colonists and the Red Coats. On that day, 3 colonists died, 11 were injured and 2 died after the incident. While the Red Coats had plenty of arms the colonists had to get sticks, stones, snowballs and anything else they could find. 

BOSTON TEA PARTY/TEA ACT British East India Company was vital to British economy. The colonists refused to import tea due to the newly imposed Tea Tax. Parliament passed the Tea Act to protect the British economy which gave the company almost all control of the tea market and removed SOME taxes on tea. The colonists were angry because they did not want to pay ANY taxes. The East India Company still shipped tea to the colonists despite their warnings. The men in the Boston Sons of Liberty they dressed up as Native Americans on December 16 1771, bombarded the ships in the Boston Harbor which had tea, and dumped 342 chests of tea overboard.

INTOLERABLE ACTS The Intolerable Acts or the Coercive (to force someone to do something)Acts were a series of laws passed by the British Parliament in 1774 relating to Britain’s colonies in North America. The acts sparked outrage and resistance in the Thirteen Colonies and were important developments in the growth of the American Revolution.

Many colonists viewed the acts as a violation of their rights. In 1774 they organized the First Continental Congress to coordinate a protest. As tensions escalated, the American Revolutionary War broke out the following year, eventually leading to the creation of an independent United States of America.

CHAPTER 5 LESSON 3•1st Continental Congress• Great Britain Sends Troops• War Begins

FIRST CONTINENTAL CONGRESS

September 1774: 55 Delegates gathered in Philadelphia to set up a political body that would represent Americans and challenge the British control. 12/13 Colonies had representatives (Georgia did not attend). They called for a repeal of 13 acts of Parliament since they believe the laws violated, “ laws of nature, the principles of the English constitution, and the several charters” of the Colonies. They also decided to boycott British trade. They decided that the Coercive Acts were illegal and started to prepare their men for war.

“The distinctions between Virginians, Pennsylvanians, New Yorkers, and New Englanders are no more. I am not a Virginian but an American.”- Patrick Henry at 1774 Continental Congress

GREAT BRITAIN SENDS TROOPS

King George told Parliament the Colonies were “in a state of rebellion” and that “blows must decide” who would control America. By April 1775, thousands of British troops were in or near Boston with more on the way. British General Thomas Gage was ordered to seize weapons from the Massachusetts militia and arrest the leaders.

April 18th, 1775 Colonist protest leader Dr. Warren saw British troops marching out of the city. He alerted Paul Revere and William Dawes- members of the Sons of Liberty- to alert the troops. Revere galloped on a horse through the countryside shouting, “The British are coming!” Samuel Adams was ready to fight- he said, “What a glorious morning this is” when he heard the news.

In1775, most of the delegates from the colonies, including, John Hancock and Thomas Jefferson were chosen by popular election to attend the Second Continental Congress, assembled in Philadelphia on May 10. The Second Continental Congress started soon after Lexington and Concord.

The Second Continental Congress established the militia as the Continental Army to represent the thirteen states, as well as printing of money, and a post office led by Benjamin Franklin. On June 15, 1775, they elected George Washington commander in chief of the Continental Army. Although American and British blood had been spilled, they were not ready to vote for a break from Britain.

Thomas Paine, January 1776- Common SenseCalled for a complete break with British rule. “Every thing that is right or reasonable pleads for separation. The blood of slain, the weeping of voices of nature cries, ‘TIS TIME TO PART”.

British General Burgoyne's surrender at Saratoga in the American Revolution

YANKEE DOODLE 1781 American and French forces began a siege- they blocked off British supply and escape routes in hopes the British would surrender . The trap at Yorktown had worked. October 19th, Cornwallis surrendered his troops- the Patriots had won the Battle at Yorktown taking nearly 8,000 British prisoners and 200 guns. A French band played “Yankee Doodle” which was a British song used to taunt the Americans. With the mighty British surrendering to the Americans- it seemed a fitting choice. There were still some small battles at land and sea however the victory at Yorktown convinced the British that it was too costly to pursue. The American Congress (Benjamin Franklin, John Adams, and John Jay) approved the first draft of the treaty to end the war in April 1783. The final Treaty of Paris was signed on September 3, 1783 in which Great Britain recognized the United States as an independent nation.
