After the French and Indian War, colonists rushed to settle in the ____. However, this led to more fighting between the settlers and the Natives. So, Great Britain issued the ____, which told the colonists they could not move past the Appalachian Mountains. This upset the colonists greatly. Next, the British discovered the colonists were violating the ____ that set limits on their trade. The colonists ignored the laws by ____ goods in and out of the colonies. To stop this, the King ordered 10,000 soldiers to stay behind in the colonies to uphold his laws. Great Britain was in debt due to the war. Since it was fought to protect the colonists, Britain felt they should help pay off the debts. One way to do that was to collect taxes, so Parliament created the ____ to tax molasses bought and sold in the colonies. Another tax was called the ____. It taxed paper goods, such as newspapers, legal documents, and playing cards. The colonists did not feel it was fair to be taxed by Britain when they had no representatives in ____. Colonial groups shouted, "____ " and led ____ against the new laws. The ____ was also formed with delegates from nine colonies who met to discuss a proper way to fight against unfair taxes. Perhaps the most successful form of protest was the ____ because it made British merchants lose a lot of money when the colonists were no longer buying from them. Parliament agreed to ____, or cancel, the early taxes, but they replaced them with the ____ to tax imported goods, such as lead, paper, and tea. This made the colonists even more angry. Secret societies like the ____ led more protests and used ____ to spread their perspective on the new taxes throughout the colonies. Eventually, the King and Parliament were forced to repeal the Townshend Acts, but only to replace it with another tax called the ____. This was more than just a tax, however. This law stated that colonists could only buy tea straight off a British ship. There would not be any more tea imported into the colonies for the colonial store owners to sell. The colonists felt Great Britain had gone too far this time, and violence would soon erupt in the colonies.
