JT Lizmi's Causes of the American Revolution Timeline (Activity #3);xNLx;;xNLx;"Heroes of the American Revolution" by David Adler
There was a tax by the British Government on sugar. The colonists were very upset with this tax because they liked to drink a lot of tea with sugar.
The act that the British Government made requiring colonists to pay one penny for a stamp. The colonists thought this was very unfair because every good bought and sold required a one penny stamp.
The British killed lots of American colonists that were at Boston. One American colonist named Crispus attacked the British but he was killed. Rocks and other things were hurled at the British. British had guns and fired at the American colonists.
The colonists were very angry about the British tax on tea. There were three ships that were loaded with tea. Some Americans dressed like Mowhawk native Americans and boarded the three ships. They dumped all of the tea into the Boston harbor!
13 colonies came to discuss how to become free from Great Britain. The 1st Continental Congress had 56 delegates from 12 colonies (except Georgia) that met in Philadelphia. They all gathered around to talk about how to get freedom. They kept it secret so Great Britain wouldn't know they're united.
