Episode 2.1 Were the colonists complaints about taxation justified or were they just whiners?
Events Leading to Revolution
In this video you will learn about the events and disagreements that lead the British Colonists to rebel. The video will begin with a description of the Proclomation of 1763 and then move on to Acts of Parliament such as the Sugar Act and the Quartering Act. The video will describe how acts such as the Stamp Act of 1765 were a result of Great Britain trying to pay for the French and Indian War and how the colonists viewed this taxation as unjust because they were not represented in Parlaiment. After being taxed with out having representation, which in the colonists view was unjust, groups such as the Sons of Liberty began to protest. The Gaspee, a British naval vessel, was burned by angry protestors off the coast of Massachusettes. Other significant protests included the Boston Massacre and the Boston Tea Party. I response to these protests you will learn that the British government chose to enforce even stricter laws on the colonies. These became known as the intolerable acts and only served to further drive the colonies away from Britain.
