Interesting Fact "No Stamp Act"

A Virginia family's teapot said at the front "No Stamp act" making it clear how they refused and opposed to the 1765 Stamp Act.

No representation, NO TAXATION.

In the 1760's, the Brit Parliament levied new taxes on the colonies. The 1764 Sugar Act, the 1765 Stamp Act, in early 1765 the Quartering Act, the colonists argued every single act because they knew that they had no voice in Parliament, so they shouldn't impose taxes directly because they thought Parliament did not had the right. Many colonists refused to pay this type of taxes, but the empire needed money to maintain the colonies and to protect the lands they just had won. But since colonies did not elect representatives in Parliament, these taxes were illegal it was what they call "taxation without representation." Government officials were attacked to prevent the tax collection and the colonists refused to import British goods until they vanished this unfair acts. In 1768, Brits came to Boston to punish the angry colonists for the resistance to the law, and conflicts created between the Bostonians and the soldiers. The worst event was called the "Boston Massacre" of 1770. All the colonists believed that the Stamp Act was the beggining of the conspiracy of the British officials to destroy the liberty of many Americans. The arguments of  the angry colonists confused the British Parliament, thinking that the colonists were selfish and narrow-minded, because they didn't want to pay the money that supposely would help their colonies. But still the Americans continued protesting, and expressed their protests in three different ways: 
1. Intelectual Protests
2. Economic Boycotts
3. Violent Intimidation
They expressed their thoughts in many ways, this revolution is just starting... keep in touch to see what goes next.

The French and Indian War/The Seven Year War... whichever you want to call it.

This war is not a part of the actual American Revolution, yet it is important. First, why is it called the French and Indian War? Don't even think it was a war between the French and the Indians because you will be completely wrong, this war consisted in the French allied with the Natives against the British troops that where commanded by the famous George Washington. And obviously it is referred as the Seven Year War because it lasted for seven years. In which the British where losing at the beginning, the French destroyed forts on Lake Ontario and Lake George. The Indians raided(invaded) the frontier, but not for long because on 1758-59 Britons gained power and blocked the shipments, weakening the Indians which lead this poor Natives to abandon the war. So now it is, Britain against France. French got the forts protecting the Saint Lawrence River invaded by the Brits. In 1759, Britain captured Quebec, a strong French position, and in 1760 they captured Montreal. The Britons where unstoppable, this invasion caused the French governor-general to surrender Canada including all the forts surrounding the Great Lakes(Michigan, Erie, Superior, Ontario, Huron). But on 1753, the Treaty of Paris was signed and ended the war, and obviously, Brits took the victory and increased their territory. The Mississippi River became the boundary between the British claims, French claims, and Spanish claims. After the French War ended in 1763 abundance and tranquility came into the 13 Colonies, which made some profit from supplying the efforts of the military empire. The ports of New York, Charleston, and Boston were booming, but still many people lived on family farms and earned profits from the agricultural products, since they were the main export. There was little industry, other manufactured goods were imported from Britain. Each colony had the right too choose its own law-making assembly and had its own governor, most of them were appointed by the king. At this time, the colonials were proud of being British subjects, but since Britain was at peace with France and had possession of Canada they intended to protect their land and keep growing, under any circumstances. Little by little, this triggered the Revolution...
