- Declaration of Independance
- The Quartering Act in 1767 happened when the British sent a group of soldiers to settle in the city. They did this so the colonies would follow the rules. When they housed the soldiers it cost money which made the colonial taxes increase.
- The Tea Act in 1773 allowed companies to stop selling tea to the colonies except for the British east Indian company. Since there was already a tax on tea they did not earn that much money from this act. The Tea Act lowered the price of tea. The colonist saw this as a trick and did not buy tea from them, because it would be like they were accepting the British right to charge taxes.
- Good idea
- The Declaration of Independence in 1776 happened when the colonies did not want to be in control of Britain anymore. The colonies said that the British were interfering with their laws. the colonies did not like that they were getting taxed without their consent and had to make room for the British soldiers.
