- The Stamp Act caused many people to protest against the British. Examples of ways that they protested were refusing to buy any paper (boycotting), and using violence to threaten the British.
- After many other Acts were passed, such as the Tea Act and Intolerable Acts, the Colonists demanded freedom from Britian. This was done by writing and signing a document known as the Declaration of Independance.
- The British refused to let the Colonists have their freedom, so the 2 nations broke out in a war. The war began in Lexington, where the shot heard around the world was fired.
