Color Student p69 (optional) Do the map work (p68): 1. Great Britain wanted to pay for the Seven Years' War, so they taxed the colonies. The colonists were unhappy with the taxes, so the British sent more soldiers to the colonies. Draw an arrow from Britain to the northern part of the colonies (near Boston). Above the arrow, write "taxes" and "soldiers." 2. The taxes generated much income for Great Britain. Draw a green arrow from the colonies back to Britain. Over the arrow, draw a dollar sign ($). 3. In protest to the taxes, sixty colonists in Boston dumped 342 chests of tea into the Boston Harbor. Next to Boston, draw a small tea cup. 4. Great Britain sent 30,000 more soldiers to New York.
