 * The Coming of the American Revolution 1764 -1776 ||  ||
 * Britain defeated France in the French and Indian War but was left with an enormous debt. The British Parliament decided the American colonists should be the ones to pay and passed the Sugar Act, the Stamp Act, and the Townshend Acts. Colonists reacted violently to these taxes and the Sons of Liberty led the way in resisting these acts while keeping peace in their communities. In the midst of an economic depression, colonists boycotted British goods and the shops that sold them. Learn about the Boston Massacre, the Boston Tea Party, and other events leading up to the Revolutionary War. ||
