Anzueth






Proclamation
I gave it a 3 because the It wasn’t really that big of a fight, King George III just had to draw a line to keep the colonists and Native Americans from fighting.

Stamp act
I gave this one a 2 because all they did was charge taxes on stamps because they were running out of money.

The Quartering act
This one is a 1 because the colonists just had to provide the troops with necessities.

The Townshend Act
I gave this one a 4 because the colonists already had to pay stamp taxes and Charlie Townshend made them pay more taxes for all goods.

Boston Massacre
This one is a 4 because the colonists rioted the same day the Townshend act came out many were injured and some died.

Tea act
I say this one is a 2 because Lord North taxed the tea and only merchants could sell bargain tea. At least the colonists could still get tea.

Boston Tea Party
I gave this one a 5 because the colonists rebelled against the taxed tea and threw all of the transported tea into the Ocean.

The Intolerable acts
I rate this one a 5 because the colonists were punished for the Boston Tea Party. There were 3 laws. The first law closed Boston harbor from shipping tea. The 2nd law was that Massachusetts was under British control. The 3rd law said that the British soldiers that were accused for murder would be tried in England.

The First Continental Congress
I gave this one a 2 because It was just a meeting with the colonists and Britain so they could get King George to consider their complaints and recognize their rights.

Lexington and Concord
I gave this one a 4 because a spy told England that the colonists were hiding weapons and gunpowder. The general ordered 700 troops to go fight the colonists. They fought and many colonists died or got injured.
