Feedback 1 Franklin published “Join, or Die” in his newspaper to urge unity among the colonies. Jefferson was an important writer later, but not the cartoonist. Adams was a leader in Boston, not the creator of political cartoons. Henry was known for speeches, not cartoons. 2 Britain taxed the colonies to recover the cost of defending them in that war. The Boston Tea Party protest happened after taxes were imposed. Exploration of Africa was unrelated to Britain’s North American taxes. The Industrial Revolution came later and wasn’t the reason for colonial taxes. 3 It taxed newspapers, legal papers, and playing cards. The Stamp Act required colonists to buy official stamps for documents and printed items. 4 They objected to being taxed without a political voice. It wasn’t just about the amount — it was about unfair rule. Washington actually agreed with the protest The issue was Parliament’s authority, not the king himself. 5 King George III was Britain’s ruler during the Revolution. 6 Colonists had to provide shelter and supplies for troops. Agriculture was not part of the law and the law did not require military service. 7 The Sons of Liberty led protests and encouraged colonists to stop buying taxed goods. Loyalists supported the king, not the boycotts. 8 Patriots used it to unite people against British rule. 9 Delegates met to coordinate a united colonial response. The Declaration of Independence and the Constitution were written years later. France was not involved. 10 Franklin’s “Join, or Die” symbolized unity—each part of the snake represented a colony that needed to come together. 11 The Tea Act lowered the price but gave one company control over colonial tea sales, angering merchants. 12 Colonists saw it as another example of taxation without representation. 13 It was a protest against the Tea Act, led by the Sons of Liberty in 1773. 14 The Intolerable Acts closed Boston’s port and reduced self-government. 15 The event increased anti-British feelings and became Patriot propaganda. 16 Paul Revere’s ride helped the militias prepare for battle. 17 Local militias fought back, beginning the Revolutionary War. 18 Emerson’s later poem immortalized the event as the start of revolution. 19 These passionate leaders inspired resistance and independence. 20 Thinkers like John Locke influenced the founders’ belief in natural rights and democracy.
