Descrição:

1761-1772: Boston Explodes with Anger

British rulers lust for taxes and control ... and resistance by the Colonists grow.

When British troops fire into a hostile crowd and kill 5, anger explodes and revolution fills the air.

Although "No Taxation without Representation!" started being heard in 1750, it became even louder throughout the 1760s and early 1770s in Boston and the Massachusetts Bay Colony.

Events in England helped shape Boston's move toward revolution, and the American Colonies' move toward freedom.

The infamous King George III remembered in history for eventually losing the American Colonies became King of England in 1760, beginning what would be a 60-year reign.

He immediately had to deal with rebellious Colonists who became more radicalized with each passing year.

Pressures for rebellion build up. Lots of action took places in Boston.
