The document outlines key events leading up to the American Revolution from 1765 to 1773, including the passage of the Stamp Act and Townshend Acts, the Stamp Act Congress, the Boston Massacre, and the Boston Tea Party. Samuel Adams began protesting the Stamp Act in 1765. The Townshend Act was repealed in 1767 and British warships arrived in Boston Harbor in 1768. The Boston Massacre occurred in 1770 when British soldiers fired into a crowd, killing five colonists. Committees of Correspondence wrote about the Tea Act in 1773 and the Boston Tea Party took place that same year when colonists dumped tea from British ships into Boston Harbor.
