French and Indian War
This started the revolution in the new colonies because Britain gained war debt. They could not pay it off so they had to tax the colonies a lot more. Although it helped the colonies like Georgia growing far to the west it made things worse.
Proclamation of 1763
This proclamation, made in 1763 stated that the people in the new colonies were not allowed to colonize west of the Appellation Mountains. This caused many settlers to dislike Britain.
2 acts-Stamp Act, Intolerable acts
The stamp act was placed on the settlers to pay off war debt from the French and Indian war. It put a tax on all paper goods like newspaper and books. The intolerable acts were placed on Massachusetts to punish them for "the Boston tea party". It was harsh almost to harsh. There were 4 parts to it, Closed the Boston Port, Close down Self-Government, House British soldiers whenever the soldiers wanted, and all criminals faced trial in Europe not the Colonies.
Declaration of independance
The deceleration of Independence was made in 1776. It declared freedom for the 13 colonies. The colonies made this document because they discontented the British and wanted their own freedom.
