1. Describe the change in the relationship between the mother country and the colonies 1700-1774.  Include major events and dates in your discussion

     In 1700 the British settled the colonies of Great Britain, 13 colonies were established.  These colonies were important because they had much natural resource and the merchants could sell different products. These colonies decided elect assembly because Great Britain wasn’t able to control the colonial trade.  In 1740, was the war between Great Britain and France, the reason was for the territory in North America. In 1763 the French had to leave North America because the British won the war.  In 1765 they made a new law, the Stamp Act that’s mean that all newspaper magazine and legal paper have a royal stamp that considered taxes. In the same year the colonist protests because they didn’t want to pay this Stamp without representation in the parliament.  In 1767, the parliament made another law and the colonist protest again because they didn’t have taxation without representation. In 1768, Bostonians fire the houses of collector’s taxes, then British soldier went to Boston to protect the collector’s taxes that went attract for Bostonians.  In 1770 groups of protestor attract a smaller group of British, they killed and heart people and nobody knew the reason.  In 1772 the Parliament decided abolishes all the taxes except the tax on British tea, because this tax was a symbol for them. When the tea was bring from British, the merchants didn’t want to sell so in 1773 they threw a lot of tea ship in the water like a symbols of liberty, then in 1774 they take the power of the assembly of Massachusetts and the colonies was in control of military British.
