In 1763 the land west of the Appalachian Mountains would 

only be reserved for the Native Americans, and it would be 

against the law for colonist to settle in that area.

The British established this law because they thought it 

would prevent more wars from happening with the Native 

Americans. 

As a colonist I would've been angry about the the 

Proclamation line, and the separation. 

In 1764 the British put out the Sugar Act.

The Sugar Act was putting a three percent tax 

on foreign refined sugar and also increased 

taxes on coffee,indigo, and certain wine.

The Sugar Act was the first instance in which 

the colonist wanted a say in running their own 

government

During the passing of the 

Sugar Act, as a colonist i 

would, personally,be very 

angry at the British for 

putting tax on tea and 

coffee. I would agree with 

running our own 

government.

In 1765 the Quartering Act was passed.

The Quartering Act made colonist share there 

homes for soldiers, so they would have a place 

to stay. The colonist would have to provide 

food and shelter.

Colonist felt the British should ask for approval 

before passing a act that would effect personal 

lives

As a colonist I would be frustrated that a 

solider, mostly a solider I do not know, stay at 

my very own house, and provide goods to the 

solider.

In 1765 British passed the Stamp Act which 

colonist had to pay tax on ALL printed 

goods/materials.

Merchants organized a boycott, and agreed not 

to buy any British goods.

I feel the Stamp Act is very 

unfair to the colonist. The 

British knew the colonist used 

printed materials a lot. it was 

not a fair act. As a colonist I 

would join in the boycott.

In 1767 The British passed the Townshend act 

and hoped the colonist would not realize they 

are paying taxes.

Like the Stamp Act, the colonist organized a 

boycott of not buying british goods.

In my opinion the 

Townshend Act was 

a unfair trick to the 

colonist. If I were a 

colonist, I would be 

very upset about the 

Act.

On the day of March 5th, 1770 a mob of 

colonist in Boston, Massachusetts harassed 

British Troops

Colonist demanded removal of British Troops .

The British Listened to the colonist, and the 

Troops were removed

The Boston Massacre seems like a horrible 

event that happened.I would be afraid if I was 

a colonist during that event, I agree with the 

colonist. I would also demand removal of the 

troops.

The Boston Tea party took place in December 

1773

Colonist did not like the Tea Act. As a response, 

the Colonist dumped 340 chests of tea into the 

Boston Harbor. 

This was the first independent decision against 

England.
