Colonial Resentment: Key Events Leading to American Independence

The navigation acts and other British policies stifled colonial manufacturing and trade, breeding resentment among American colonists. Key legislation like the Proclamation of 1763, Currency Act, Stamp Act, Quartering Act, and Townshend Acts heightened tensions. Events like the Boston Massacre and the Boston Tea Party further inflamed the revolutionary spirit. As British attempts to control colonial currency and enforce taxes backfired, the call for independence became stronger. The Coercive Acts aimed to punish colonists but only intensified their desire for freedom.
