The American Revolution

Some colonial leaders opposes taxes to control and coordinate their protests. Nine colonies sent delegates and held "The Stamp Act" in New York City in October 1765. This Congress encouraged a consuming boycott -to not buy anything from England-, which was a non important agreement.
Women played an important role in boycott. They needed "homespun" cloth to make clothes. This women that help down were called "The Daughters of Liberty". They wanted their respect from the clothes.
By 1776 they already repealed the Act.













New Taxes Lead to New Protests
Samuel Adams showed that the colonists were not going to pay direct acts to the British but the British government needed money. Charles Townshend was the crowns' chief financial officer. He thought that if you placed indirect taxes to the colonies, they wouldn't notice.
In 1767, the Parliament permitted the Townshed Act Glass to issue a new set of taxes on in demand products such as paint, lead, paper, tea, everyday product. But colonists didn't like it. The Governor and Judges will be on hands of the Parliaments, colonists went against it. They didn't want to loose control over the Governors.
