    George Grenville's Tenant Tariffs On The American Colonies

    During 1765 the British Parliament imposed stamp tariffs on the American colonies. When George Grenville tightened up the administration of the colonial customs service and revised the rates which was “to make them produce a revenue, he knew that he was only beginning, that the colonies could and should contribute more to the cost of their defense. During the summer of 1763 he had already begun to consider the possibility of a stamp tax”. When introducing the idea to Parliament, “he managed to put the colonies in a position where a Stamp Act would be results of their own failure” this was because they would feel guilty for not supporting their mother country in a time of despair. England intended to raise revenue by tariffs on trade with a…

    Samuel Adams Stamp Act Summary

    Samuel Adams writes a letter to his English friend, John Smith, defending the American’s side of the new imperial taxation and control.

He goes on to say that Parliament cannot tax them consistent with the constitution because they are not represented.…

    Reaction - A patriot under the Articles of Confederation

    My father was a local merchant in the city of Boston in 1764 when Parliament passed The Sugar Act1 in yet another attempt to increase Britain’s revenue after the end of the Seven Years War. One of nine children, my family struggled financially during the upcoming years. I suppose my parents worried constantly that we would suffer economic loss as Great Britain passed many taxation acts2 which further tightened any financial gain attained from the trade of goods. My father was friends with Samuel Adams3 and one cold winter night I snuck out, following my father, as I knew something big was about to happen. Father had been ranting all through supper how Parliament needed to be taught a lesson and he and Sam had gathered several men to protest this taxation without our consent.4 Hidden in the fog on the night on December 16, 1773, at the age of fifteen; I watched as my father, along with several other men dressed as Indians, threw barrels and barrels of tea shipped from the East India Company into the waters of the harbor.5 It was this event that made me determined, like my father, to remain true as a patriot and take a stance against the imperial government. This night was just the beginning of the political, economical, and social issues that I witnessed throughout the next two decades.…
