Main causes of the American Revolution
THE STAMP ACT: was passed in 1965 by the parliament because they needed money to pay the troops and the debts that they had, so they created this act which was applyied to some stamp duties. Coloniests, British merchants and manufacturers opposed this act because it made it difficult to trade with colonies.

THE TOWNSHEND ACT: were a series of acts passed in 1767, by the British Parliament which included the Custom act.

THE TEA ACT AND BOSTON TEA PARTY: The Boston Tea Party was produced after the tea tax that was put by the parliament. On December 1773, a group of colonists disguised as indians (for not being recognize)and got into the ships that had the taxed tea, destroying it by throwing them to the sea. This was called THE BOSTON TEA PARTY.

OTHER CAUSES: Other acts were put to the colonists as the Sugar act, Quebec act and Boston Port Bill (Boston´s ports were closed to all ships, until colonists paid to the East Indian Company the damaged caused in the Boston tea party).
