Question
What events led to the Revolutionary War?
(4 points)
1. The imposition of multiple taxes by the British government, such as the Stamp Act, Townshend Acts, and Tea Act, without colonial representation in the British Parliament, led to significant unrest and resistance among the American colonists.
2. The Boston Tea Party in 1773, where colonists protested against the Tea Act by dumping tea into Boston Harbor, resulted in harsh retaliatory measures by the British government, further fueling tensions between the colonies and Britain.
3. The Intolerable Acts of 1774, also known as the Coercive Acts, were implemented by the British government in response to the Boston Tea Party. These acts restricted colonists' rights and freedoms, including the ability to self-govern and hold trials by jury, leading to widespread outrage and calls for independence.
4. The Battles of Lexington and Concord in April 1775 marked the beginning of armed conflict between the American colonists and British forces, as tensions escalated and both sides engaged in military confrontations. This ultimately culminated in the Declaration of Independence in 1776 and the outbreak of the Revolutionary War.
