Storyboard Tekst

  • The French and Indian War occurred from 1756 to 1763. The war was between the French (and Indians) against the British. They both wanted control over the Ohio River Valley, which had profitable fur trade.
  • Nooooooo!
  • We want the Ohio River Valley!
  • The Proclamation of 1763 was issued by King George, after the French and Indian War. This proclamation stopped colonists from settling west of the Appalachian Mountains.
  • But why?!?!?
  • Oh no! No one must interact with Indians. No one must settle west of the Appalachian Mountains!
  • The Stamp Act of 1765 posed a tax on all things printed on a certain paper from Britain. Because of the debt from the French and Indian War, the British taxed the colonists, like the Stamp Act, in order to pay off that debt.
  • Oh no! The Stamp Act law for taxes isn't working! The colonists are protesting!
  • No More Stamp Act!
  • No More Stamp Act!
  • No More Stamp Act!
  • Townshend ActsThis poses a tax on all goods imported to the colonies from Britain.
  • The Townshend Acts of 1767 taxed all goods imported from Britain to the colonies. This made the colonists very mad because they didn't want to be taxed by a country that was so far away.
  • Oh no! Not more taxes!
  • Yes! These taxes will work!
  • On March 5, 1770, a group of angry Patriots started insulting and threatening a loyalist. Captain Thomas Preston soon arrived on the scene with soldiers. The colonists attacked the soldiers with stick and clubs, one soldier apparently yelled fire, and a violent fight arose.
  • AHHHH! Don't kill us!
  • On December 16, 1773, angry patriots threw 342 chests of tea imported from Britain overboard to protest the taxes. These main events caused the start of the American Revolution - the patriots wanted control over the colonies.
  • No taxation without representation!
