The Proclamation line was an invisible line that was made 

to keep the colonies from colonizing west of the 

mountains. The king did not want any more conflicts with 

the Indian's. My rating was a 5 for this event because I 

think it was the right thing to do. But at the same, time it 

was bad because the colonies needed to expand to be 

more successful. So, I rated it exactly in the middle!

1764

The King added a 3% tax on sugars and some wine. 

Also, they banned imports on some types of wines 

and rum. Colonists fought against this and protested 

against taxation without representation. They were 

also mad because they had no say in whether or not 

this was going to take affect. I rated this a 7 because 

colonists money was going to waste without their say 

in any part of it. But, it's only a 3% tax, so it wasn't the 

end of the world.

British soldiers were sent to watch over the 

colonists and enforce laws. Also, they had to 

have a home to sleep, eat, and be provided for 

(which were the colonists home). Colonists 

thought they were being controlled and 

stealing their items. I rated thus a 4 because 

the colonies were under British control and 

they were British troops.

1765

British were in debt so they put tax on most 

printed goods in the colonies. Colonists were 

mad because they didn't have any say in the 

government or the laws. They thought they 

lost freedom in law making from the British 

government. I rated this a 9 because this was 

the second time taxation without 

representation. Also, colonists didn't have any 

consent either.

1765

Indirect tax placed on some goods that were 

being charged at the arrival of the port. British 

were trying to keep this tax secret and add it 

on to the retail price. Eventually, the colonists 

discovered this indirect tax and protested. I 

rated this an 8 because I do not think it was as 

bad as the sugar act because it was indirect. 

Also, it's still the 3rd attempt of taxation, so it 

was a high rating.

Colonists were taunting British troops, 

throwing snowballs, yelling. Eventually, the 

British troops open fired on the colonists. Five 

colonists were killed and Boston brought the 

troops to trial for murder. I rated this a 2 

because I feel as if the colonists brought this 

on themselves. Also, colonists were killed, so it 

can't be number 1.
