Causes of the American Revolutionary War
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| How did the French and Indian War begin to lead American colonist to rebel against Great Britain? | This war left Britain in debt. Great Britain began to tax American colonist to help pay debt. Colonist wanted to be asked (representation) about how much tax they would pay for this. England refused to let the colonies have representation. |
| What was the Proclamation Act of 1763? | Great Britain/England declared that colonists could not settle in lands west of the Appalachians (today IMOWI). They had to move back to the 13 colonies. This angered the Americans who they fought for the land in the French and Indian war. |
| Why did Parliament in England create the Proclamation Act of 1763? | Native Americans who lost in the French and Indian war still wanted their land. Tribes fought against the settlers. King of England and Parliament didn't want to spend any more $ on soldiers and they wanted to do fur trade with the Indians. |
| What happened in the Stamp Act that up set the Colonies? | This was a tax on all paper items (newspapers, books cards etc.). Colonist formed groups "Sons of Liberty" who boycotted and rioted. Colonist thought tax unfair. Colonist had no representation in Parliament about the tax. Eventually boycott worked. |
| What does the quotes "No taxation without representation mean"? | The colonist wanted a voice (to be heard) in Government. They wanted to have a say about what kind of tax and how much? |
| What were the Townsend Act? | England needed $ to pay war debt so they taxed glass, TEA, and papers imported (brought in) to American colonies. Colonist felt tax unfair because they didn't give their consent. More boycotts... |
| What was the Tea Act? | Tax on tea from the East India Tea company(British business). Tax was low and cost of tea was low. Colonist weren't asked AGAIN, and this Tea tax hurt local business. So formed committees of Correspondence, boycotts and violence (tar and feathering) |
| What was an effect of the Tea Act? | The Boston Tea Party. "Son's of Liberty" dressed up like Native Americans and dumped 342 chests of tea off ships in the Boston Harbor. |
| What effect did the Boston Tea Party on the colonies? | It led to the Intolerable Acts or called The Coercive Acts. British King/ Parliament closed the Boston harbor until the damaged tea was paid. King also took away colonial local government. Colonist felt this was oppressive. 1st continental congress met. |
