French and Indian War
The French and Indian War was the French and Britain were fighting for land. While the French's allies were the Indians Britain's allies were the Colonist's. Britain won, but while Britain was in debt they were also celebrating so King George the 3rd started taxing the colonists to repay his debt. -

Proclomation of 1763
The King prevented the colonist's from living west of the Appalachain Mountains. The king did that because then he would have to pay for more soldiers to go and protect them from Indian attacks. -
Quartering Act
The KIng made the colonist's house the soldiers from Britain against their will. -
Stamp Act
This was the fist tax that King George the 3rd made for the colonist's. The king taxed the colonist's on every peice of paper they bought. In my opinion, that angered the colonist's the most. -
Boston Massacre
The Boston Massacre started out with a group of people that started to call a Britain soldier names. When the matter got out of control the soldier called in some more soldiers and a general. When the general got there he said don't fire but someone did then everyone did. The colonist's only had snowballs and rocks to fight back with. 5 people died, 6 people were wounded.
