Relations between American colonists and Great Britain soured quickly after [BLANK-1] in March of 1770. During this event, off-duty British soldiers had wrecked a local shop after being insulted by the shopkeeper. Once the soldiers left the shop, colonists began to follow them down the street, throwing snowballs (and according to the soldiers, rocks). When the soldiers met up with a larger regiment of troops, the colonists continued to pelt them with snowballs. In response, the British troops opened fire on the colonists, killing five of them. The incident outraged colonists in New England and, thanks to newspapers, throughout the British American colonies.

[BLANK-1] fought for a type of economic protest known as non-consumption. Non-consumption was one of the most influential and effective forms of economic protest; the practice tremendously pushed America toward revolution. Examples include refusing to purchase or consume sugar, tea, or British-made clothing. People were shamed into wearing older clothes, community parties were held to darn socks and other types of clothing, and tea-drinkers and coffee-drinkers were shunned.

An important court case involving [BLANK-1] paved the way for freedom of the press in the American colonies and ultimately contributed to American independence through the rise of critical coverage of current events in colonial newspapers.

During the Great Awakening in colonial North America, there was a tremendous reaction against perceived sinfulness and the cold and emotionless sermons of Enlightenment-inspired preachers. [BLANK-1] of New England delivered a fiery sermon known as “Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God” that used fear tactics, theatricality, and fire-and-brimstone preaching to convince the audience of the dangers of hell.

[BLANK-1] were predominantly Catholic. They placed less of an emphasis on the conversion of Native Americans than did other Catholic societies and never practiced forced conversions. When these Catholics did attempt Native American conversion, they usually did so through the use of Jesuit missionaries who would live alongside the indigenous people in their villages.

An early military event of the American Revolution occurred at [BLANK-1] on June 17th, 1775. Here, Massachusetts militiamen had set up artillery and the British engaged in an action to remove the artillery from a strategic position. In this engagement, Colonel William Prescott of the Massachusetts Militia, realizing that the colonists were short on ammunition, made a brilliant tactical decision, telling colonists not to shoot “until you see the whites of the enemy’s eyes.” The colonists held their fire until the British were at close range, and then unleashed a deadly volley. The British eventually took the strategic position and the American colonists withdrew; however, the massive number of casualties suffered by the British made this a tactical victory for the Americans. This engagement proved to be so bloody (the British suffered more than 1,000 casualties) that it virtually ended any hopes of peaceful reconciliation between America and England

[BLANK-1] forbade settlement west of the Appalachian Mountains in an attempt to limit costly wars with Native Americans. Colonists, however, protested and demanded access to the territory for which they had fought alongside the British.
