Increased colonial opposition to British rule in the American colonies emerged strongly in the mid-to-late 1700s, especially in response to new taxes and policies. Key examples include:

Stamp Act Protests (1765): Widespread opposition to the tax on printed materials; led to riots and the Stamp Act Congress.

Townshend Acts Resistance (1767): Colonists boycotted British goods in protest of new import duties.

Boston Massacre (1770): British soldiers killed five colonists, fueling outrage and anti-British sentiment.

Boston Tea Party (1773): Protest against the Tea Act, where colonists dumped tea into Boston Harbor.

First Continental Congress (1774): Coordinated colonial response to the Intolerable Acts, marking a unified front.

These actions intensified colonial resistance and paved the way for the American Revolution.
