What Are The Key Events That Led Up To The Revolutionary War

During this unit we have studied the steps that led to the Revolutionary War. We have learned about many events in history that led up to the beginning of the war, and important people during these events. I will be using my ISN and textbook as sources. Now we move on to conflicts with the colonies and British.

The British and colonist had many problems, like the Boston Massacre, the battle of Lexington and Concord and lets not forget the British acts, the Intolerable acts, the Quartering act, the Townshend act, and the stamp act.The Boston Massacre was when a British regiment shot and killed five young men on March 5th 1770. It stirred up the colonist in how the British would do that to them. Paul Revere made two engravings that explained
So in 1765, Prime Minister George Grenvell thought out a new law to pay off the war debt. Colonist were vary mad about this new law that made them have to pay extra money for stamps that let you buy things like paper, newspapers, playing cards, wills, and licenses, and that’s why they called it the Stamp act.

Then there was the Townshend act named after Charles Townshend who had the idea of making the colonist pay more for popular items like tea and paper by putting on more tax. Finally the Intolerable acts which is when Great t Britain got mad and enforced dreaded laws like closing the Boston Harbor and after that the Battle of Lexington and Concord happened when King George lost it and decided to end this madness with the colonist, and he did that by sending a bunch of his men to attack the colonist and if they won they would be
These reactions the colonists could be described as repeals for canceling a law, or the Continental Congress who tried and did make things better for the 13 colonies, boycott to make British change laws. A repeal is when the Parliament changes a law they made, like the Townshend act the reason it was repealed was because the colonists boycotted by not buying items like paper, and tea. But the North Lord saw that this made them lose a lot of money so he repealed the law. The Continental Congress happened for the first time in 1774 with close to 50 leaders from 12 colonies met in Philadelphia. They wrote a respectful letter to King George to recognize the colonies
