Road to Revolution

After the French and Indian War, Parliament passed new laws for the colonies. These laws were passed because Britain

• was afraid the French would support the colonies.

• was afraid many of the colonists would return to Britain.

• needed the colonists to help pay for the war.

• wanted the Native Americans to return to their lands.

The Proclamation Line of 1763 forbid the colonists from-

• settling west of the Appalachian Mountains

• avoiding paying taxes on their land

• bringing slaves north of the Mason-Dixon line

• shooting Natives without a permit

The primary source of the colonists' dissent with the British Parliament was---

• the ability to trade with Asia

• not being protected from the native attacks

• that they were not given a voice in Parliament

• being allowed to travel freely into French territory

Some of the colonists were unhappy with "no taxation without representation". What does that mean?

• The colonists should not be taxed unless they were represented in Parliament.

• The colonists should not be taxed because they could not vote for the King.

• The colonists should not be taxed unless the taxes were used in the colonies.

• The colonists should not be taxed because no one should be taxed.

One way the colonists resisted taxes was to boycott British goods. What is a boycott?

• Creating a monopoly

• A refusal to buy a particular product.

• An element of vertical integration.

• A supplier of raw materials.

repeal means to: (Ex. The Stamp Act was repealed.)

• enforce
• do away with
• strengthen
• sign into law

The Boston Massacre was a turning point because it

• Led to massive colonial casualties

• Bloodshed changed the mindset of some colonists

• Was another example of colonists refusing to follow British laws

• Brought harsh condemnation from Britain

The Boston Tea Party was in protest of

• An excessive direct tax that increased the price of tea

• New laws aimed at reducing smuggling

• A tea monopoly granted to the British East India Company

• Harsh punishments in Boston aimed at the Sons of Liberty

• Stamp Act

• Sugar Act

• Intolerable Acts

The Intolerable Acts were passed as punishment for what incident (event)?

• Boston Massacre
