Educational worksheet detailing the causes and effects of the American Revolution, highlighting key historical events and colonial responses to British policies.

- The British government imposed taxes on American colonists after the French and Indian War to help pay for the war's costs.
- The Stamp Act required colonists to buy tax stamps for printed materials, leading to protests under the slogan "No taxation without representation" and the formation of the Sons of Liberty.
- When the Stamp Act failed, Britain replaced it with the Townshend Acts, taxing imported goods; colonists responded by boycotting imports and forming the Daughters of Liberty to produce their own goods.
- The colonial boycott hurt British merchants, prompting King George III to send soldiers and warships to the colonies, which escalated tensions and led to the Boston Massacre on March 5, 1770.
- After colonists' protests, Britain repealed most taxes except the tea tax. The Tea Act granted the British East India Company a monopoly on tea sales, sparking the Boston Tea Party where colonists dumped tea into Boston Harbor.
- In response to the Boston Tea Party, Parliament passed the Intolerable Acts to punish Boston, including closing the port and placing Massachusetts under military control, which united colonists and led to the division between Patriots and Loyalists.
