Events to the Revolution

This seven year long battle was caused due to the prolonged altercation between the French, British,the Native Americans, and the Colonists. French and Native American relations had grown over a period of time (1756). For instance, Samuel de Champlain had created a "fateful friendship" with the Huron Tribe. Both groups had a vengeful vendetta between the colonist and Britain, nevertheless, the Europeans came out victorious. Previous of this audacious Revolutionary War, Britain and the colonist were untimely united and defeated the Native Americans and the French during this war. Unfortunately, this war caused Brittan to focus on their independent colonists ( due to Salutary neglect) and foreshadowed future conflicts between these once united Europeans.

This Proclamation prohibited settlements beyond the Appalachian. It was originally created to seek a compromise between the Native Americans and the British. However many Americans were upset with these new regulations, due the outrageous idea that the Native Americans were receiving colonial land. This sparked future clashes between the British and their daughter America, who was beginning to consider independence.

Established by George Grenville, the Sugar Act increased payment of tax for the colonists. In addition, it increased the work of importation of sugar. The colonist protested , and the Act ceased to existence.

Grenville also established the Quartering Act that simply forced colonists to provide food and money to the British soldiers. King George is suffocating his colonists by establishing his unjust dominance through laws and ridiculous acts.

Another suffocating Act was formed that caused major protests between the colonists and Grenville. The tax mandated the use of stamped documents that serves as a certification of tax payment. Any legal papers had a tax that the colonist would need to pay. Radical Whigs protested, shouting "No Taxation without Representation". These radical Whigs had separated themselves from British legislatures through this tax. Within that same year the Stamp Act Congress was formed to discuss the grievances that was created by the British Parliament. The colonists are now acting on their own in defense of King George the Third.

Due to the Townshend Acts ( passed in 1767 that caused internal and external tax among the colonists), the Sugar Act, the Stamp Act, and the Quartering act the colonist began to develop a hatred towards their hierarchy, and on March 5, 1770 the colonist began to ridicule and throw snowballs at British soldiers. With the influence of this harsh shouting and agitation a British soldier fired rounds towards the angered mob, creating a massacre in Boston. What had transpired that fueled British hatred in Boston and supported the Revolutionary War.

The colonists begin to display their resentment to the British Parliament by vandalism of property. Tea was a know export in the New and Old World. A group of Boston individuals disguised themselves as Native Americans and paraded down to the harbor. They boarded a ship full of 342 chests of tea, and dumped each box overboard, into the Atlantic. An expensive import was dumped over in the Atlantic with millions of individuals watching, encouraging the vigilantes actions. Colonists were now beginning to act against their King and untimely leading to the Revolution.

This congress involved twelve colonies ( Georgia willingly exclude) that sent fifty-five trusted sponsors such as Samuel Adams, John Adams, George Washington, and Patrick Henry to discuss the British grievances and the radicals of the colonists. John Adams was the most effect in the persuasion of independence and created a Declaration of Rights, with the assists of the Congress. The Association also blossomed forth due to Congress' influence They began to boycott British goods, no matter what type nonimportation or nonexportation. The first Continental Congress was a colonial legislature that divided itself from the parliament.

The Intolerable Acts prohibited many of Massachusetts chartered rights such as:
-restrictions on town meetings
-Denial of Jury Trial
- sustaining unrepresentative assemblies
-A new Quartering Act was established, with gave local authorizes the power to live and invade local homes.

In addition to the Intolerable Acts, the Quebec Act was formed to create a compromise between the French and the British. It allowed France to freely practice their religion, keep old institutes and customs. This angered Anti-Catholics due to the previous scrimmages between Catholic and Protestants. The colonists had witnessed bloody massacre, Intolerable Acts, and religious audacity from Britain, and in two years an important document would be signed demanding freedom from the Parliament.
