  • Slide: 1
  • The Proclaimation of 1763 stopped colonists from moving west of the Appolachian Mountains. The colonists took this as a restriction to their freedom.
  • This isn't freedom, we fought a war and we want freedom!
  • You can't move to the west of the Appalachian Mountains. It's to avoid Natives.
  • The Proclaimation of 1763

  • Hold up, we didn't even get to choose this! We're boycotting British items!
  • We've placed a tax on every printed material, there has to be a stamp on the items to prove that the tax was paid.
  • The Stamp act put a tax on printed items which needed to include a stamp that proved that the tax was paid. The colonists got mad because they didn't get to decide the law. And they boycotted British goods.
  • 1765The Stamp act

  • EVEN THINGS LIKE PAPER AND LEAD!?

  • We're boycotting British goods again!
