Boston Tea Party
Descriptions:
1. __________________________ Furious about the American Colonists’ rebellious antics and especially about the Boston Tea Party, Parliament imposed several acts on the Massachusetts Bay Colony as punishment for destroying British goods in Boston Harbor. These acts in 1774 were seen as “Intolerable Acts” by the Colonists.
2 __________________________ In 1765, the British Parliament imposed a law that ever single piece of printed paper (newspaper, pamphlet, legal document, etc) must have a British Stamp on it. This stamp cost money and was a tax on paper
3. _____________________________ After the French and Indian War in 1766, Parliament required that all British soldiers stationed in the American Colonies must be given room and board and given basic needs by the colonists.
4. __________________________ A series of laws passed in 1767 on the American Colonies that required new taxes on glass, paper, leads, paints, and tea. Eventually all taxes were repealed, except for those on tea.
5. ___________________________ On the night of December 16, 1770, a group of colonists called the Sons of Liberty disguised themselves as Mohawk Indians and boarded three British ships in Boston Harbor. They dumped 342 whole crates of tea into the harbor as a rebellious act against Parliament.
6. _________________________ In 1773, Parliament imposed a tax on tea, causing a monopoly on tea sales for the British East India Company. American Colonists were not allowed to buy tea unless they bought it from the British East India Company.
7. ________________________ On March 5, 1770, British troops stationed in Boston opened fire on American Colonists, shooting five and ultimately killing one African American man named Crispus Atticks. This deepened the distrust American Colonists felt for the British military presence in the Colonies.
8. _______________________ Imposed on the American Colonies in 1764, British Parliament required a tax on all foreign refined sugar and increased taxes on coffee, indigo, and certain kinds of wine. It also banned specific rum and wine imported from France. It was forced upon the Colonies without their consent.
