American Revolution

Our story starts 1770 after colonists push for a say in parliament and decreased taxes, resulting in the repealing of the Stamp Act. But this wasn't the end for controversy on taxes imposed by the British...
What??? Now we're facing taxation without representation??? This is not going to be around for long. We won't allow it. We'll protest!
Hey! We're the British and we are putting the Townshend Acts in place, which will increase your taxes on goods, such as tea.
Cue the Boston Massacre! After several protests and boycotts, colonists band together to become more organized, resulting in the protests escalating. They escalated to a point where a confrontation resulted in 5 dead.
