The Quartering Act- 1765
• England forced colonists to house and feed British troops. This angered the colonist because they felt that it was tyrannical and took away some freedom.

The Stamp Act- 1765
• England imposed a tax on all printed items.

The Townshend Acts- 1767
• The acts imposed even more taxes on the colonists.

The Boston Massacre-1770
• Soldiers fired at townspeople when they feel threatened by a protest. It was made to look like entirely the soldier’s fault, but the colonists had been throwing snowballs at and threatening the soldiers.

The Tea Act-1773
• This was used to trick colonists into buying British tea. The price was lowered, but colonists were no longer allowed to smuggle their own tea. Colonists didn’t fall for the trick.

The Boston Tea Party- 1773
• Rather than using and paying for the British Tea, Boston colonists dumped it overboard.

The Coercive Acts- 1774
• Also known as the “Intolerable Acts,” these acts were made to punish Boston for destroying East India Company Tea.

Continental Soldier
The American army was called the Continental Army. They dressed in blue, and the group consisted mostly of farmers and other regular men who were forced into becoming soldiers

Weapons
Bayonets attached to muskets, and were used as knives and spears.
Cannons were effective, but took a lot of man-power to load and fire.
Muskets were common weapons, but they took about 20 seconds to load, and weren’t very accurate.
Pistols were typically only used by officers and Calvary, and were only good at close range.

Clothing Continental soldiers wore clothes similar to the British soldiers, just in blue instead of red. This included a white linen shirt, neck stock or neck cloth, a coat made of dark blue wool with red wool facings, white breeches, white stockings, plain civilian shoes, and a blue tricorn hat.

King George III King George III was born in London on June 4, 1738. He was the son of Frederick, Prince of Wales, and the grandson of George II. He was the longest reigning of the male British monarchs. He was so upset by the loss of the colonies that he considered giving up the throne, but ended up remaining king until sometime after 1801 when he fell ill with an illness sometimes identified as porphyry. This illness caused blindness and insanity, and he was forced to resign from the throne.

Redcoat SoldierThe British soldiers (also known as “Redcoats,” “Lobsters”, and “Regulars.”) wore clothing similar to the Continental army. However, the Redcoats were typically more ordered and regimented than the continental soldiers, and wore red instead of blue. There were quite a few more Redcoats than continental soldiers, so they were the favored side in the Revolutionary war.
