The Proclamation of 1763 was an 

announcement that all land west of 

the Appalachian mountains would not 

be settled by colonists.

If I was a colonist I would have felt mad 

because I deserved that land for fighting the 

French. I would have complained about it 

with my neighbors, but not enough to riot.

The Sugar Act was an 

tax on sugar and sugar 

related items passed 

by the British Gov. 

without the consent of 

the colonists. It led 

many colonists to 

wanting 

representation.

If I was a colonist having to 

pay taxes on sugar, I would be 

really angry because the 

government didn't explain why 

the added the tax.

The Quartering Act was an act passed by 

the Gov. stating that colonists would be 

assigned a british soldier and they would 

have to care for his needs. They would 

have to house them, feed them and give 

them drinks.

If I was a colonist being forced to care for 

a soldier, I would be scared of having an 

armed soldier in my private home.

The Stamp Act was an act passed by the 

British Gov. that put angered many 

colonists because it put a tax on many 

printed materials.

If I was a colonist at the time of the 

Stamp Act, I would be really mad at the 

british for thinking that they can just 

put all these taxes on us and not ask 

us.

The Townshend Act was an unjust tax 

from Charles Townshend on imports to 

the colonists. This continued to anger 

colonists and led to the boycott of British 

goods.

If I was a colonist paying taxes 

for british goods, I would also 

boycott all british goods.

The Boston Massacre was when a mob 

of colonists started venting their 

frustration from having to house british 

soldiers. The british soldiers, feeling 

threatened, opened fire on innocent 

colonists. This enraged colonies and led 

them to demand the removal of the 

british soldiers

If I was a colonist hearing of the Boston 

Massacre, I would maybe start thinking 

of driving the british out of Boston by 

force.
