- The French and Indian War began in 1754 and ended with the Treaty of Paris in 1763. The war provided Great Britain enormous territorial gains in North America. Disputes over subsequent frontier policy and paying the war's expenses led to colonial discontent, and ultimately to the American Revolution.

- No taxation without representation.
- Begun in 1765. The Stamp Act was the first direct tax used by the British government to collect revenues from the colonies. The new tax required all legal documents including commercial contracts, newspapers, wills, marriage licenses, diplomas, pamphlets, and playing cards in the American colonies to carry a tax stamp.
- Intolerable Acts

- The Townshend Acts was passed by the British Parliament in 1767. It was a series of measures that taxed goods imported to the American colonies. But American colonists saw the Act as an abuse of power.
- Declaration of Independence Adopted
- INDEPENDENCE !!
- The Boston Tea Party was an American political and mercantile protest. A group of 60 American colonists threw 342 chest of tea into Boston Harbor. They agitated against both a tax on tea and the perceived monopoly of the East India Company.
- The Intolerable Acts were punitive laws passed by the British Parliament in 1774 after the Boston Tea Party. The laws were meant to punish the Massachusetts colonists for their defiance in the Tea Party protest in reaction to changes in taxation by the British Government.
- By issuing the Declaration of Independence, adopted by the Continental Congress on July 4, 1776, the 13 American colonies severed their political connections to Great Britain. The Declaration summarized the colonists' motivations for seeking independence.
