This is a timeline of the series of events that led to the uprising against the British rule in the 13 colonies in 18th century North America and the creation of a new country, the United States of America.
The financial impact of the French and Indian War (part of the larger Seven Years’ War) Great Britain fought against France led to a large increase in taxation on the colonies, from the Sugar and Currency Acts to the Stamp and Tea acts.
The American colonialists, more and more feeling the pinch, inevitably protested, rioted and eventually organised resistance to the British rule which led to the American Revolution.

📖 The Timeline Format
There are many benefits to using timelines in a learning environment. For social studies and history study in particular, timelines are fantastic to chart events across different eras, providing a linear progression that aids understanding and the retention of information.
Timelines are more than just dates stacked up in a sequential order, they can (or should!) include context, facts, parallels with modern day events, a certain depth of knowledge that enables true understanding.
