Pontiac's Rebellion (1763-1766) correct answers An Indian uprising after the French and Indian
War, led by an Ottowa chief named Pontiac. They opposed British expansion into the western
Ohio Valley and began destroying British forts in the area. The attacks ended when Pontiac was
killed. This was the first war that did not end in complete defeat for the Native Americans and
would inspire later Native American rebellions.

Proclamation of 1763 correct answers A proclamation from the British government that forbade
British colonists from settling west of the Appalachian Mountains and required any settlers
already living west of the mountains to move back east. This was set in place after Pontiac's
Rebellion began in order to help prevent more uprisings like this. It was meant to be a temporary
measure.

George Grenville correct answers The Chancellor of the X Checker, he believes that it is
necessary for the colonies to help pay for the debt caused by the Seven Years War, since it was
fought to protect the colonies. He puts into place: The Sugar Act of 1764, Stamp Act of 1765,
Currency Act of 1764, and the Quartering Act of 1765

Sugar Act of 1764 correct answers AKA the Revenue Act, it was the first bill Grenville
introduced to finance colonial reform, raises an import tax on foreign sugar, it causes
controversy, this tax was actual enforced so colonists were mad, it cause Sam Adams to raise the
cry of "Taxation without representation." Grenville sees this act as successful despite massive
uproar from the colonists.

Stamp Act of 1765 correct answers This was the first direct tax put in place by Parliament on the
American colonies, it was another part of Grenville's policy to generate revenue, it affixes a
stamp on most paper goods, such as newspapers, pamphlets, licenses, notes and bonds, legal
documents, etc. All of the revenue generated from this act was to be spent on colonial defense.

Currency Act of 1764 correct answers Colonies were prohibited from printing their own form of
currency since gold is the coin of the realm however, the use of gold in colonies was a problem
since there were no sources of gold, it was aimed to enforce the policy originally appointed in the
Navigation Acts that were not previously enforced, lots of opposition to this act since the
colonists feel that this act undercuts the colonist's ability to pay for things they need.

Quartering Act of 1765 correct answers Since the British soldiers were in the colonies to protect
the colonists, the Quartering Act was put into place to force the colonists to build barracks for the
British soldiers to stay in. However, the colonists did not want the soldiers there so they refused
to build the barracks, in retaliation the quartering acts stated that the soldiers had the authority to
stay in private entities such as hotels/inns, barns, and in dire need in the homes of the colonists.

Patrick Henry correct answers Places resolutions before the Virginia House of Burgess that state
that only the Virginia House of Burgess should have the right to tax Virginians, based on the
Virginians rights, these grievances get circulated in the press. After these are circulated other

, colonies come up with their own grievances. This makes Massachusetts decide to issue a circular
letter

Massachusetts Circular Letter correct answers Issued from the Massachusetts General Court
(their governing body) it calls for an intercolonial meeting to discuss the Stamp Act. It was sent
out on July 9, 1765. The meeting takes place in October of 1765.

Stamp Act Riots (August 1765) correct answers A series of riots against the Stamp Act in August
of 1765, was organized by men of wealthy standing, who called themselves the Sons of Liberty

Sons of Liberty correct answers A radical political organization for colonial independence which
formed in 1765 after the passage of the Stamp Act. They incited riots and burned the customs
houses where the stamped British paper was kept. After the repeal of the Stamp Act, many of the
local chapters formed the Committees of Correspondence which continued to promote
opposition to British policies towards the colonies. Some important members of the Sons of
Liberty included Samuel Adams, Patrick Henry, and Christopher Gadsden

Stamp Act Congress (October 1765) correct answers The first intercolonial meeting that exists
because of intercolonial initiatives. They meet in New York and nine colonies are represented. It
is not a radical body. They draw up a declaration, that has a moderate tone, it repeats the
widespread colonial expression of "no taxation without representation." They explain that they
can never be represented in Parliament due to distance, messages take too long when received or
sent. They adopt economic sanctions against Britain, which leads to British merchants in Britain
to start petitioning to Parliament. While the Stamp Act Congress is taking place the Grenville
ministry collapses.

Marquess of Rockingham correct answers Takes over after the fall of the Grenville ministry
collapses and it forms a new government. Rockingham had the Stamp Act repealed in March of
1766. Introduced the Declaratory Act of 1766.

Declaratory Act 1766 correct answers It declared the Parliament had the right to make laws for
the colonies in all cases whatsoever. However, since the Stamp Act was repealed this act didn't
really do much, so the colonists loved it since it was back to how it was before. This Act was not
very effective and thus it led to the collapse of the Rockingham ministry.

Charles Townshend correct answers Was the Chancellor of the X Checker who faced the same
problem as Grenville, which was how to finance the British empire. To solve this problem
Townshend introduced a new round of taxes into the colonies called the Townshend Duties (aka
the Revenue Act of 1767). The taxes he imposed on the colonies were indirect, because the
colonies voiced their dislike of direct taxes (the Stamp Act was a direct tax).

Townshend Duties/ Revenue Act 1767 correct answers Strengthens the Sugar Act and adds on
pain, lead, paper, and tea. Established a Board of Customs commissioners that will be placed in
Boston to oversee things. This act has 3 parts.
1. All customs officials will have to report to the Board.
2. There are courts placed up and down the coast to deal with the issues of trade and customs.
