Colonial Protest Intensify

There are 3 ways in which colonies protested:

Intelectual Protest:                 Colonists made:

                                                     * Speeches

                                                     * Made Pamphlets

                                                     * Published in news paper
                                                     * Drafted resolutions
                                                     * Sermons
All this ways were use to persuade the colonists not to accept any taxes.




Economic Protest: Colonists will not use any products imported from Britain, this agreement was called"Non Importation Agreement". This agreement take merchants to ruin so as a result of this boycott people had to start producing all those products that came from Britain, so women took a very important role because they were the ones incharge of spinning thread and weaving cloth. Women were called " Daughters of Liberty".




Violent Protest: Some men form an assossiation named the "Sons of Liberty whos most famous leader was Samuel Adams, were the responssible of many violent proitests done in the settlments. These violent protests were por often due in Boston.
In August of 1765 a mob leadered by The Sons of Liberty went and destroyed the tax collectors house as well as withThommas Hudgenson´s house. Bostonians did not accept anything that had to do with the Stamp Act and whomever spoke of this or act in favor of it will get in a lot of trouble. A very violent way in wich colonists protested was the ¨The Tarred and Feather¨. This protest consists of  putting very hot tea inside the tax collectors´s throat and then put inside  feathers.All these protests terroried all tax collectors.

Important Events on the Revolution

British Government

British Government is a model, and it have 2 branches :

    Legislative: deals with the parliament and the parliament deals with the house of lords wich included the aristocrats, nobility and the elite privilege class  and the Legislative branch deals to with the  house of commons wich  deals with elections and population.

    Executive: deals with the monarchy

Each colony had this two branches except for Pennsylvania wich had a elected assembly, the governement was appointed or represented by the King, they served him.
Colonists did not elect any memeber of the British parliament, TAXATION came from the cause of revolution by modern satandandars, the British were far from democracy wich was not a good idea.
