Скачать или смотреть Taxation Without Representation

Why did American colonists go from loyal British subjects to full-blown revolutionaries? In this video lesson (3.3), we trace the growing tensions between Britain and its colonies—from new taxes and trade restrictions to organized protests and direct defiance—all under the rallying cry: “No taxation without representation.”

What You’ll Learn:

The Core Conflict: How the British and colonists clashed over what “representation” really meant—and why the idea of virtual representation wasn’t enough to satisfy demands for self-government.

Phase One (1764–1766): Explore the Sugar Act, Stamp Act, and Quartering Act—and how the Stamp Act Congress and grassroots groups like the Sons of Liberty led a powerful resistance.

Phase Two (1767–1770): Learn how the Townshend Acts reignited protests, and how the Boston Massacre became a turning point in the growing anti-British movement.

Phase Three (1773–1774): Follow the fallout from the Tea Act and the dramatic Boston Tea Party, and see how Britain’s harsh response—the Intolerable Acts—pushed the colonies toward unity and rebellion.

This is essential listening for students, educators, or anyone interested in how taxes, power, and protest drove the American colonies toward revolution.
