American Revolution: The American Revolution was a war fought between Great Britain and thirteen of its North American colonies, which declared themselves the independent United States of America. It was sparked in part by anger over acts like the Townshend Acts.
Stamp Act: The Stamp Act was another tax imposed by the British Parliament on legal documents, newspapers, and various other items in the American colonies. This act also contributed to growing resentment towards taxation without representation.
Boston Tea Party: The Boston Tea Party was a political protest that took place in 1773. Colonists disguised as Native Americans dumped hundreds of chests of tea into Boston Harbor to protest against taxes imposed by the British government under the Tea Act. This event further escalated tensions between Britain and the American colonies.
