Why did the the colonists choose to omit se colonial actions in the declaration of independence
In response to the Stamp Act of 1765, the colonists organized widespread protests and boycotts of British goods. They formed the Sons of Liberty, which actively opposed the Act through demonstrations and intimidation of tax collectors. Additionally, the First Continental Congress was convened in 1774, which united the colonies in their resistance to British taxation and policies. Ultimately, these actions contributed to the repeal of the Stamp Act in 1766.
The Massachusetts militia was formed primarily in response to growing tensions between the American colonists and British authorities in the years leading up to the American Revolution. Key events, such as the Intolerable Acts and the increasing presence of British troops, heightened fears of oppression and loss of rights among colonists. Local leaders recognized the need for organized defense against potential military actions by the British, prompting the establishment of a militia for protection and to assert colonial rights. This culminated in the mobilization of the militia for the battles of Lexington and Concord in April 1775.
The term "Intolerable Acts" was coined by the American colonists in response to a series of punitive measures imposed by the British government in 1774. These acts, aimed at suppressing dissent following the Boston Tea Party, included the Boston Port Act and the Massachusetts Government Act, among others. The colonists viewed these laws as oppressive and unjust, which ultimately fueled their desire for independence. Thus, the name reflects their perspective on British actions rather than the British government's intention.
