Albany plan of union
The Albany plan of union portrayed the fact that ideas could become more then just thought. Several Colonies of Massachusetts Bay, New Hampshire, Connecticut, Rhode Island, New York, New Jerseys, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, and South Carolina, wanted a plan for their mutual defense and security, for extending the British Settlements in North America. They were able to meet as one group for one cause. (History Study center) -

Historian A Study Packet -
French and Indian war
"The French And Indian War left Britains equilibrium shattered."(Historian A) The colonists had seen a weak point in Britain during the war.

There would be a chance at freedom. -

Proclimation of 1763
This Proclamation set boundaries to the west. This was for two reasons. First Britain had made promises to Natives who had fought for England to stay off there land. Second, it would cost Britain more money to have to defend colonists who decided to expand westward onto natives territory.

Sugar Act
The Sugar Acts were passed to re-enforce the already existing Malaises Tax. This tax was heavily avoided by colonists who smuggled instead of paying the extra tax. The new tax however taxed more then just sugar the tax included: sugar, certain wines, coffee, pimiento, cambric and printed calico, and further, regulated the export of lumber and iron. Colonist would not stand for taxation without representation. -

Stamp Act
The stamp act was yet another tax passed on the colonists to pay off British debt. This taxed all goods that were written and was applied to everything colonists used. The idea that England could impose this many taxes to colonists and not get a revolt is hard to believe.

Quartering Act
The quartering act took what little freedom the colonists held at this time. It enforced a law requiring all colonists open there homes to British soldiers who were in America to regulate what they did. As a colonist this act must have been another reason to revolt. First the colonist were ignored with salutary neglect only to be then not only watched but regulated.

Stamp Act congress
Congress met in October of 1765 to write Britain a response to the many taxes and acts recently being imposed among them. They wrote in a well placed manor with respect. It would not be a surprise for a evolution to occur when a colony has the courage to ask it's controlling country to stop taxing them. http://www.ushistory.org/declaration/related/sac65.htm -
Repeal of Stamp Act
The colonists boycott of British goods payed off as they were victorious. Britain parliament repealed the stamp act in 1766. This must have given colonists the idea of revolution. they had now seen what they could do when working together. Publication: The Penguin Book of Historic Speeches

Declatory Act
The Declatory Act was used to give the colonists a sense of freedom. It was the response of Britain to the boycott of the stamp act. This was yet another victory for the colonists while giving not much freedoms to the colonists it proved there actions could change laws

Townshend Act
The Townshend Acts were taxations placed upon glass, lead, paints, paper, and tea imported into the colonies and created a Board of Customs Commissioners to enforce customs laws without the accused having recourse to a trial by jury. These were more acts that would have inspired the ideology of revolution in colonists minds.

Boston Massacre
The Boston Massacre was an example of how colonists felt about British soldiers. While protesting an event many colonists taunted British soldiers who then fired upon the colonists. These soldiers were later indicted for murder. The boston massacre helped to fuel colonists rebellious attitudes
http://www.ushistory.org/declaration/related/massacre.htm -
Boston Tea Party
Leaders of the Sons Of Liberty organized this movement in which colonists dressed as natives and threw boxes of tea over the boat. This was in response to the many different taxes being placed upon the colonists. They felt that this taxation was coming with no representation and that to pay taxes they should first be represented in the main legislature of
England.

Intolerable Acts
These Acts were used to try to regain control of the colonies. After the recent events of rebellion. specifically the boston tea party. These acts show that the ideas of the colonists were strong enough to spark a revolution. Britain saw this and attempted to reestablish power over them.

Quebec Act
These Acts were seen as more intolerable acts from Britain to the colonists. It greatly extended Quebec’s territory into the Ohio area. This infuriated the colonists even more and helped lead to the idea of revolution.
