Triumph and Tensions: The Rise of Colonial Resistance in the British Empire (1750–1776)

This chapter delves into the tumultuous period from 1750 to 1776, exploring the fragile peace following the Seven Years' War and the escalating tensions within the British Empire. It highlights key events such as the Stamp Act Crisis, the Boston Massacre, and the establishment of the Committees of Correspondence, which fueled colonial opposition. As resistance escalated, colonists, including women and African-Americans, mobilized against British imposition, culminating in the pivotal decisions leading to the First Continental Congress and the Declaration of Independence.
