- The Proclamation Line of 

1763 was what the British call 

the boundary line for the 

colonist. They said the land 

west of the Appalachian 

Mountains was for the Native 

Americans and they wouldn't 

protect the colonist that went 

into that area. This made the 

colonist very angry because 

they knew that it would let 

the British have a bigger grip 

on them.

-The colonists started realizing that the 

british wanted full control of them and 

they didn't like that. This is one of many 

reasons that lead to the American 

Revolution.

-If I was a colonist, I would have been 

furious and like some of them. I would 

have crossed the line and I would not have 

been forced to be confided in one place like 

that. I wouldn't stand up to the British just 

yet, but it would always have been on my 

mind.

The sugar acts was when 

the british put three cent 

tax on sugar. They also 

banned the importation of 

rum and French wines. If 

you decided to try and 

sneak some past them and 

they found out, you would 

be a dead man. The 

consequences were a lot 

worse after this.

This was the first instance that the colonist 

wanted to stay in the government they had. 

If I was a colonist, I would have been super 

upset with them putting tax on things. I would 

think they all ready had enough money without 

them having to take more of ours. 

The quartering act is when 

the British put their soldiers 

into the colonists home with 

out their permission. The 

British wanted them to 

provide them with food and 

other things. They thought 

that this could be less 

expensive. this made the 

colonist very suspicious of 

the real intentions for put 

them in their homes. 

The colonist were angry and they all 

thought that the real reason for the 

soldier's in there homes, was so the 

British could keep eyes on them at all 

times. They hated that, and were really 

starting want to fight back.

If it was a colonist would would be not 

allowed that to happen in my home. If 

that meant execution then so be it 

because I would have not let them rule 

me like that.

The stamp act was when 

the british required the 

colonist to pay tax on all 

printed and sent things. 

The stamp was to show 

that they really did pay 

the tax. The colonist 

were angry and they 

boycotted all British 

goods.     

The colonist were starting to fell like their 

freedom was completely gone. They felt 

as if they were British property now. also 

the parliament repealed the stamp act.

I agree completely with the colonist on 

this one. I would have felt like there was 

nothing left that was just mine. I would 

be about to go over the edge.

The British once again 

put tax on more items. 

They taxed glass, lead, 

paper, and tea. The 

British had hoped the 

colonist wouldn't notice 

and just go along with it, 

but they were wrong. 

This angered the colonist 

a lot and they were not 

just going to let it 

happen.

In response to the new taxation, the 

colonist decided just to not buy any 

British goods that had tax.

I would have done the exact same thing if 

I was a colonist. we finally stood up to 

them and I like that.

A mob of 

colonists threw 

snowballs at a 

British troop 

and in 

response, they 

fired back, but 

with actual 

guns. Five 

colonist ended 

up dieing. 

The colonist said that was wrong of them 

to fire back and as a result, the British 

troops were removed from Boston.

If I was a colonist, I wouldn't have 

thrown a snowball at the troops in the 

first place, but I would have a say in the 

removal of the troops. What they did was 

just wrong and not right.

The Tea Act meant the 

colonist could only buy 

tea from British East 

Indies. Because of 

that, the colonist 

attacked British ships 

and smashed 340 

chests of tea and 

dumped it into the 

ocean.
