So What Comes Next?

Two different approaches

Page 16: Loyal British Subjects

16

Native Americans aren’t Happy

• British won so colonists flocked into Ohio River Valley.

• Native Americans under leadership of Pontiac rebel and kill settlers, and settlers attack back.

Page 17: Loyal British Subjects

17

Proclamation of 1763

1. To prevent any more wars with the Native Americans

2. Colonists were not allowed to move pass the line.

3. Colonists believed they had the right to move and ignored it.

4. Hugh debt for England from the war!!

5. England felt colonies should pay for it.

6. Because 1000’s of troops were needed to protect settlers from Native Americans, and to keep the French from trying to regain lost land

Page 18: Loyal British Subjects

British attempts to Get out of Debtpass the Sugar Act

Duty or import tax on Molasses and other products. Severe punishments on smugglers of Molasses

Colonists respond in in Anger and loud Complaints

More Taxes…..Quartering ActOne year later, Parliament passed the Quartering Act.

To enforce the Proclamation of 1763, Britain kept about 10,000 soldiers in the colonies.

The act required colonists to quarter, or house, British troops and provide them with food and other supplies.

The colonists protested angrily. The colonists complained that Parliament was violating

their rights.

Page 19: Loyal British Subjects

STAMP ACT Colonists react

The Stamp Act required that all colonists buy special tax stamps for all kinds of products and activities.

The stamps had to be placed on newspapers, wills, licenses, insurance policies, land titles, contracts, and other documents.

Colonies protest!!!!!Virginia House ofBurgesses said onlythey have the right totax Virginians!!!!! Others coloniesfollow.Nine colonies, metand decided to protest. Petitioned the King demanding the repeal of the Sugar Act and Stamp Act.

Page 20: Loyal British Subjects

Parliaments Response to the

Protests

Declaratory ActParliament had

total authority over the colonies.

The Townsend Acts• The Crown wanted to tax

the colonies in a way that wouldn’t anger them. So the Townsend Acts would no longer tax products or activities in the colonies.

• They would only tax products brought into the colonies.

• IMPORTS

Page 21: Loyal British Subjects

21

The Townsend Acts

The Townshend Acts set up a system to enforce new import duties.

To help customs officers find illegal goods, they use writs of assistance—court orders allowed officials to search without saying for what they were searching.

Many colonists saw these writs and the searches as yet another violation of their rights.

Page 22: Loyal British Subjects

22

Bold Step by Parliament

Charles Townshend, in charge

of the British treasury, wanted

to weaken the colonial assemblies.

When the New York assembly

refused to supply money, housing

and food for soldiers per Quartering

Act, Parliament suspended the New

York assembly.

The colonists again reacted by

boycotting British goods.

Page 23: Loyal British Subjects

23

The Colonies Protests Worked

Parliament repealed all the

Townshend duties—except the one on tea.

That tax was left to demonstrate Parliament’s right to tax the colonies.

Where the imports came from.

Page 24: Loyal British Subjects

Parliament had not acted in time.

Resulting in the Boston Massacre!!

March 5, 1770, in Boston, anangry crowd of workers and sailors surrounded a small group of soldiers.

They shouted at the soldiersand threw snowballs androcks at them.

The frightened soldiers firedinto the crowd, killing five andwounding six.

Committees of Correspondence

• Colonial leaders saw the need to keep in closer contact with people in other colonies.

• The committees wrote letters and pamphlets to spread the alarm whenever Britain enforced unpopular acts of Parliament.

• The committees unite the colonists against Britain.
