The Colonies Revolt Against the British

The colonies had been treated horrible by the British. Britain had controlled he colonies and all they had known was what the British had told them. Britain begins to tax the colonists so they could regain money lost from the war but the colonies wouldn't get anything from it. The colonies didn't like this so they boycotted British goods. Britain was taxing almost everything the colonies used such as, sugar, wine, coffee, even documents. It works!!! The colonists are so excited celebrating they don't even realize what the British have done. Britain retracted the Stamp Act but said they would still tax them. British passed the Declaratory Act, this reserved Britain's right to impose them. The colonies don't even recognize Parliaments trick. They see it as they are giving us more power, we are right, they will just give in if we boycott them.
Britain creates the Townshend Act that taxes lead, paper, paint, and tea. The colonies boycott and succeed again. The British say they are still going to tax tea though. The colonies stand up against the British again by sneaking in tea from the Dutch. The Boston Massacre and Boston Tea Party occur yet, the colonies still aren't thinking lets become independent.
With all of he revolts came violence. Violent riot broke out in Boston. Many lost their homes because mobs would burn them down. Tax collectors were beaten almost to death because they would take money. Many had property damage and took a lot of heat from others in the town. Also, the elites would pass resolutions in their assemblies. Colonies were being taxed without representation. They did not get to vote on who should be in Parliament, or make any decisions. Parliament and the ministry argues that they were virtually represented. The colonies shot that idea down saying it was a "monstrous idea". In the end, the colonies gain their Independence that they deserve. This is why they revolted and started a Revolution
