Britain Response• British reaction to the Boston Tea Party

was to close down Boston Harbor.• Parliament passed the Coercive Acts. It

was a series of laws meant to punish Massachusetts until it paid back the tea.

• A military governor would rule MA, British officials would be tried outside colony, and Colonists would have to house and feed the troops.

Page 9: RW Trilogy

Colonial Reaction(First Continental Congress)

• Each colony sends delegates 9/1774

• They set up Committees of Correspondence because they needed to communicate with each other.

• They called for a Colonial Convention in May of 1775 in Philadelphia to discuss a course of action.

• They called for a militia in each colony.

Page 10: RW Trilogy

-----1775-----Minutemen

• Throughout New England, militia were drilling and marching. The volunteers were called minutemen because they were ready to fight at a minute’s notice.

-----April 19, 1775-----First Shots at Lexington & Concord

• On the night of April 18th, Paul Revere & William Dawes galloped through the countryside spreading the word that the British soldiers were coming.

• Captain Parker led 70 men onto Lexington town green to block passage. A shot was fired and both sides began firing.
