Signing of the Treaty of Paris Ending the Seven Year s War, also known as the French and Indian War in North America. France ceded all mainland North American territories, except New Orleans, in order to retain her Caribbean sugar islands. Britain gained all territory east of the Mississippi River; Spain kept territory west of the Mississippi, but exchanged East and West Florida for Cuba Proclamation of 1763 Wary of the cost of defending the colonies, George III prohibited all settlement west of the Appalachian mountains without guarantees of security from local Native American nations. The intervention in colonial affairs offended the thirteen colonies' claim to the exclusive right to govern lands to their west Sugar Act The first attempt to finance the defense of the colonies by the British Government. In order to deter smuggling and to encourage the production of British rum, taxes on molasses were dropped; a levy was placed on foreign Madeira wine and colonial exports of iron, lumber and other goods had to pass first through Britain and British customs. The Act established a Vice-Admiralty Court in Halifax, Nova Scotia to hear smuggling cases without jury and with the presumption of guilt. These measures led to widespread protest Stamp Act Seeking to defray some of the costs of garrisoning the colonies, Parliament required all legal documents, newspapers and pamphlets required to use watermarked, or 'stamped' paper on which a levy was placed Quartering Act Colonial assemblies required to pay for supplies to British garrisons. The New York assembly argued that it could not be forced to comply Virginian Resolution The Virginian assembly refused to comply with the Stamp Act Stamp Act Congress Representatives from nine of the thirteen colonies declare the Stamp Act unconstitutional as it was a tax levied without their consent Declaratory Act Parliament finalizes the repeal of the Stamp Act, but declares that it has the right to tax colonies 1767 Townshend Revenue Act (Townshend Duties) Duties on tea, glass, lead, paper and paint to help pay for the administration of the colonies, named after Charles Townshend, the Chancellor of the Exchequer. John Dickinson publishes Letter from a Philadelphian Farmer in protest. Colonial assemblies condemn taxation without representation British troops arrive in Boston in response to political unrest. 1770, 5 March The Boston Massacre 1773 BOSTON TEA PARTY 1775 WAR!
