Introduction:

Picture
The Revolutionary War was a time where tensions were high. Colonists did not know if they were surrounded by friends or enemies. A neighbor could be a loyalist or a patriot. The colonies did not feel animosity towards the crown overnight. Several events or causes took place before the war began.  

These events were...

* The French and Indian War

* British Imposed Taxes

* The Quartering Act

* The Stamp Tax

* The Sons of Liberty

* The Townshend Acts

* Boycott by Colonists

* British Troops in Boston

* The Boston Massacre

* Cutter Gaspee

* Coercive Acts

* The First Continental Congress
