Ch 5: Struggle Towards Independence

The Stamp Act caused the colonist to believe that they had to confront parliamentary.  The Stamp Act revenue measure provoked an open opposition by colonists.  This law forced Americans to purchase and use specially marked or stamped paper. The tea act was another movement that caused quite an argument.  The tea act was attempt to bail out the East India Company between Britain and colonists.  It alarmed the Americans because the revenues raised,therefore committees tried to resist the importation of tea by preventing the landing of East India Company cargoes. The colonist faced some trouble times with their government. The colonist were angered at Britain and Britain was angered at its colonists.  Britain was at a standpoint where they were ready to end any insubordination but of course this lead to more disputes and eventually led to the creation of the Declaration of Independence.
