Stamp Acts
The Townshend Acts
Boston Tea Party
The Stamp Acts occurred throughout the October of 1765. The Stamp Act was forced upon the colonists, and taxed things like newspapers, documents, or cards for playing games. This was so England could get their money back from the French and Indian War which costed a lot. The colonists were enraged because England didn't want to help pay.
The Intolerable Acts/Coercive Acts
The Townshend Acts happened in 1767. These acts put taxes on things like tea or paper being imported to the colonists. The significance of this event is that the English Parliament felt that it was ok to tax the colonists without representation.
Common sense
