Stamp Act
The colonists boycotted the British taxes that were forced on them as well as the different laws that were passed by the British in order to remain in control of the colonies.
The Stamp Act was passed by the British government. After it was passed, the American colonists instituted a boycott of British goods.
The Declaratory Act, passed by the British Parliament in 1766, asserted its authority to legislate for the American colonies "in all cases whatsoever," effectively reaffirming British control over colonial governance. This act was a response to the successful boycott of British goods, as it aimed to demonstrate that Parliament would not be intimidated by colonial resistance. By asserting its right to tax and legislate for the colonies, the act sought to undermine the colonial claim to self-governance and deter further boycotts. Ultimately, it intensified tensions between Britain and the colonies, setting the stage for future conflicts.
Approved a plan to boycott british goods.
When the Townshend Acts were passed in 1767, colonial women increased their efforts in weaving as a form of protest against British taxation. By producing their own cloth, they aimed to reduce dependence on British imports, particularly tea and textiles. This movement not only demonstrated their support for the boycott but also fostered a sense of unity and identity among the colonies. Women's contributions in this regard were crucial to the broader resistance against British rule.
Leading up to the Revolution, Britain attempted to impose the Stamp Act, and enforce duties on sugar and molasses. Britain passed the Currency Act because they wanted payment in British pounds sterling rather than colonial currency.
