The Stamp Act of 1765 placed a tax on most colonial printed materials, such as newspapers, pamphlets, legal documents, and licenses.
The Townshend Acts of 1767 imposed new taxes on imported British goods and gave British officers greater power to enforce colonial trade laws.

Answer

  1. The Proclamation of 1763: Many colonists migrated across banned borders anyway, often engaging in violent conflicts with Native American groups in western territories.

  2. The Stamp Act of 1765: The Sons of Liberty violently resisted stamp tax collection, and colonial leaders formed a congress that successfully petitioned for the law's repeal.

  3. The Townshend Acts of 1767: Colonial legislatures publicly stated their sole right to tax colonists, and the Daughters of Liberty organized boycotts of British goods.

  4. The Tea Act of 1773: Colonists dressed as Mohawk Native Americans boarded three East India Company ships and dumped their tea into Boston Harbor.

  5. The Coercive Acts of 1774: Colonial leaders formed the First Continental Congress, which demanded the repeal of oppressive British laws, banned all trade with Britain, and coordinated military defense.
