In: US History, War and Military History, American Revolution [Edit categories]

Answer:

There are many important events that led up to the American Revolution. The first was the French and Indian War and the dept left Britain to impose new taxes. Next, was the proclamation of 1774, which prohibited colonists from moving west of the Appalachian Mountains. The Stamp Act was the next event that led up to the American Revolution. This Act lowered the tax on molasses imported by the colonists. This angered the colonists because they couldn't smuggle. The Stamp Act placed tax on all printed materials. The colonists had a boycott and refused to buy British goods. The act was repealed, but on the same day Declaratory Act that allowed Parliament the right to tax. The Townshend Acts still angered the colonists even though it tried to avoid the problems of the Stamp Act. The Boston Massacre, Tea Act, and Boston Tea Party were also some events that led to the American Revolution. After those events was the Coercive Acts that closed Boston Harbor until the colonists could pay for the ruined tea. Then the First Continental Congress was formed. They tied to create peace, but instead war broke out. The American Revolution broke out.
