The time period where new ideas were being formed to help the revolution. On a scale of 1 to 10 would rate this event a 6 because it didnt have a direct effect. It was just what the time period was called. -
French and Indian War
The French and Indian war Was going on at this time. it was a war between england and france. England , allied with the Indians, won the war and drove the frech out of the Land in America. -
Proclomation Line of 1763
It was a proclamation saying that the Colonists would not settle past an imaginary line near the Appalachian Mountains. The settlers did not obey this rule and past the line and settled there anyway, I would rate this event a 6 on the scale of 1 to 10 because Brittan was setting rules for the colonists -
Stamp Act
The Stamp Act was a tax on any piece of paper the American colonists purchased. The money was used to protect the colonists near the Appalachian Mountains. I would rate this event a 3 becuase the money was being used to help the colonists. -
Boston Massacre
A killing of five colonists who got into an argument with off duty soldiers from Brittan. They colonists used this to try and show that they were being treated unfairly. If I would rate this event on a scale of 1 to 10 I would rate it as an 8 because it influenced the colonists that they weren’t all being treated right. -
Lexington and Concord
This was a battle between a few militia and some volunteer colonists against the British force at Lexington. I would rate this event a 4 on a scale of 1 to 10 because they lost the war. -
Tea Act
Another tax Brittan put on tea to get money from the colonists. The colonists didn’t find this idea good. It resulted in the Boston tea party. If I had to rate this on a scale of 1 to 10 it would be a 6 because it influenced the colonists directly. -
Boston Tea Party
Colonists dressed as Indians Boarded a ported ship at night to dump the tea off the side of the ship into the harbor. This infuriated Brittan. I would rate this event as a 10 on a scale of one to ten because it was another way colonists were sticking up for themselves. -
Intolerable Acts
It was punishment to the colonists for the Boston tea party. It said colonists had to house British soldiers, and cut off use of the harbor. I would rate an 8 on a scale of 1 to 10 because it showed that the colonists were going back and forth with would lead to war. -
First Continental Congress
The First continental Congress was a gathering for 12 representatives, one from each colony. They agreed to write to the king of England to repeal the heavy taxes they had placed on them.

Second Continental Congress
Representatives from each colony met for the second time to write and sign the declaration of independence to declare that they were a separate country from the British. If I had to rate this on a scale of 1 to 10 it would be a 10 because it told Brittan they were done and wanted out. -
Declaration of Independence
The declaration of independence was signed by 56 delegates that declared that they wanted to be free from Brittan’s rule and start their own country in America. I would rate this event a Ten on how strongly it influenced the movement to revolution because it was declaring independence from great Brittan.
