Storyboard Text
- The French and the British were competing over land. Ever since the British started to get more land near theirs, they were worried that the British might try to take over their land, that's how the French and Indian war started.
- Even though the British won the war, King George issued a statement prohibiting colonists from moving west of the Appalachian Mountains, and people who lived there had to move back east.
- It didn't end there either in 1765, England created the Stamp act , that required colonists to buy a government stamp for nearly every paper document. The colonists were not happy about that either.
- Despite Wright's influence, people started to resist the Stamp Act. On November 6, 1765, a group called the Liberty boys was established to go against the Stamp Act.
- The colonists started to become more rebellious, mainly in Boston. In 1770 the the Boston massacre happened when British soldiers fired into a group of protesters.
- A couple years later, in 1773 the Boston tea party took place when the colonist dumped buckets of tea into the Boston harbor.
