This was one of the leading causes to the Civil War. What am I describing? Congress passed a law that placed a tariff on goods that the South purchased from Great Britain. The South could no longer afford British goods, so Britain stopped purchasing cotton from the South. South Carolina didn't want to pay the tax and suggested that it should be voided.

Which group of colonists were known as fierce soldiers?

Answer 1

You are describing the issue of tariffs. The event that caused the king to ask for documents to receive a tax/mark was the Stamp Act. The Battle of Kettle Creek resulted in a Patriot victory and the recapture of Savannah. A difference between Trustee/Colonial GA and Royal Colony GA is that in Trustee/Colonial GA, there were restrictions on land ownership and slavery was initially prohibited, while in Royal Colony GA, these restrictions were lifted and slavery was allowed. The group of colonists known as fierce soldiers were the Continental Army.
