CAUSES OF THE AMERICAN REVOULUTION

BOSTON TEA PARTY

• Occurred on December 16th 1773
• The location was Boston Massachusetts
• It was a protest from the sons of liberty
• The colonists (dressed as American indians) threw tea into Boston harbor
• After it happend the British closed the harbor until the tea was paid for

LEXINGTON AND CORNCORD

• The British were about to take away the colonists wepons when they were ambushed
• No one knows who fired the first shot
• The first shot was called the shot heard around the world
• Paul Revere ran all around alarming the colonists to prepare for battle
• It happend on april 19th 1775

THE BOSTON MASSACRE

• The colonists were throwing sticks, snowballs and rocks at the soldiers
• There were about 50 colonists in all
• It occured in Boston Massachusetts
• It occured on march 5th 1770
• 3 people died on site and 2 more died later

I think these are the most important things that started the American Revolution because they all had to do with anger from the colonists. I also think that they were trying to prove to the British that they were not going to pay their taxes.
