The Stamp Act
The Stamp Act made all of the things that have ink on it become taxes. Some things they taxed were newspapers, pamphlets, bills, legal docs, licenses, almanaes, dice, playing cards and more.

They taxed all of the ink in the American colonies but they did not tax England's ink. -
The Townshend Acts
It is where there are taxes on more everyday things like tea, paper, paint, lead and some other things. The people that were running the taxes are the Americans. The tax did not work though because the people would not buy the things. Some people would try to sneak stuff in without pay the tax fee, if they get caught then they have to go to courts if they don't get caught then they don't have to pay the fee but they have to be careful with it. -

The Boston Tea Party
They did it because it was unfair that they were taxing them during the French and Indian war. They were being taxed because of the war but they don't see how it is fair. So the Americans did not find it fair they were being taxed for more weapons so they can get more money. The Boston Tea Party was because of the french and Indian war but the Americans don't want to have any part of it so they have a "tea party." The tea was way to expensive that is why they were very mad. -
