The Revenue Acts

By eilene.osborne

  • The Sugar Act

    Things like sugar, wine, coffee, tea, etc. had tariffs or shipment taxes. Colonists were mad because they didn't have the money to pay all the taxes and they didn't have a say in anything.

  • The Stamp Act

    Taxed all paper products. It made the colonists angrier than they were.

  • The Townshend Acts

    The British taxed everyday things like glass, lead, pants, etc. The colonists really started to protest... they went so far as to help create the Boston Massacre.

  • The Tea Act

    The Tea Act was after the British had got rid of most of the other taxes. It taxed all tea. The colonies responded with the Boston Tea Party.

  • The Intolerable Acts

    What the British use to punish the colonies after the Boston Tea Party.

  • The Declaratory Act

    Gave the British authority to make and pass laws in the colonies. Made the colonies realize how much of a say they didn't have.
