List and describe any of the Acts (taxes) that Britain placed on the American Colonies. What did the Colonists do to protest that specific tax?

1. Stamp Act (1765): This act required colonists to pay a tax on every piece of printed paper they used, including newspapers, legal documents, and licenses.

Protest: The colonists protested by forming the Stamp Act Congress, organizing boycotts of British goods, and harassing tax collectors.

2. Townshend Acts (1767): These acts imposed duties on imported goods such as glass, paper, paint, and tea.

Protest: The colonists responded with widespread boycotts of British imports and increased smuggling to avoid the taxes.

3. Tea Act (1773): This act granted the British East India Company the right to ship tea directly to the colonies, effectively creating a monopoly and undercutting local merchants.

Protest: The most famous protest was the Boston Tea Party, where colonists disguised as Native Americans boarded British ships and dumped 342 chests of tea into Boston Harbor.

4. Sugar Act (1764): This act reduced the tax on molasses but also strengthened enforcement of anti-smuggling laws.

Protest: Colonists engaged in boycotts and formed committees of correspondence to coordinate resistance against the tax.

5. Quartering Act (1765): This act required colonial assemblies to provide housing and supplies for British troops stationed in America.

Protest: Colonists protested by refusing to comply with the act and by voicing their opposition through pamphlets and assemblies.
