- Slide: 1
- DON"T BUY STUFF BECAUSE EVERYTHING IS TAXED LETS REBEL!!!
- In the mid-1700s, Britain, in debt from costly wars, sought income by taxing the American colonists, passing the Stamp Act in 1765. The colonists responded with a boycott of British goods, forcing Britain to repeal the act, though tensions remained.
- Slide: 2
- After repealing the Stamp Act, Britain passed the Declaratory Act, asserting the colonies were dependent on the king and that colonial laws were void. New taxes under the Townshend Revenue Act and oppressive laws, like the Intolerable Acts and Quartering Acts, further angered colonists, leading to events like the Boston Tea Party.
- GIVE ME FULL CONTROL NOWWWWW!!
- Slide: 3
- “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness”
- Frustrated with British rule, the colonists declared independence on July 4, 1776 by signing the Declaration of Independence. The Revolutionary War secured their freedom, and Britain lost control of the colonies, creating the United States of America.
