  1. I think the stamp act was the one that really started the revelation. I think this because it made the British very mad to see some of the colonies fight against tax. After a while, the colonist got angry by this stamp tax and began protesting. The British tried to other things to tax but that made the colonist even more mad. Then the colonist made secret meetings to talk to the rest of the colonies and see how they felt about the situation. If I were in this situation, i would be a patriot and not a loyalist.

  2. I think the French and Indian war had the most impact on the Revolutionary war. Yes, the taxes had an impact too, but the French and Indian war caused the taxes. Science the war had used a lot of Britain's money, so they taxed the colonists so they could repay the price they used in the French and Indian war. The taxes were high because the price for the war was high. The taxing made the colonists very mad. I would be mad if I was being taxed. Even though many other things also helped cause the Revolutionary war, I think this was the main reason why. Courtney

  3. I think the stamp act lead to the Revolutionary war because the British was taxing paper and other stuff. Then the colonies started protesting against British. So the colonies got angry. Then the colonies started forming the militias to fight the British. the big impact was that the tax that got the colonies angry. So the British was unfair the colonies.AVISHKAR#24(=

  4. I think that the stamp act. I think that it is because they all started because of the taxes and no one liked it at all. Also because that is what had made it all start the revolutionary war. Another reason because no one liked it so they made a huge fight about the taxes. It also lead to the war because everyone was arguing about the taxes and then all the solders were like WHAT and so they started a fight against them. that is why I would choose stamp act.

  5. I think the French and Indian war had the most impact. I think it had the most impact because it led to all the taxes. Another reason I think it had the most impact is because the British protected the colonist and the colonist had to pay taxes. The third reason I think it had the most impact is because the colonist didn't want to pay taxes so they tried to rebel and said, "no taxation with out representation!" I think the French and Indian war had such a big impact because the colonist didn't want to pay any taxes so they started throwing rocks at soldiers and that led to the Boston massecure. Those are my reasons why I think the French and Indian war led to the Revolutionary war and why I think it had the most impact on it.

  6. I think the Boston Tea Party had the most impact on the American Revolution. I think it had the most impact because it made the British and the East India Tea company very mad. It made the British mad because they shipped all of the Tea out there for buying and not dumping it into the harbor. Also the Boston Tea Party almost made the East India Tea Company mad because all there tea was dumped. That is why I think it had the most impact on the Revolution. That was awesome.

  7. I think the Boston Tea Party had the most impact. The Boston Tea party made the British angry. When the British got angry, they came up with the Intolerable Acts. They were to punish the colonists until they cleaned all the tea out of the harbor. The intolerable acts made the colonists angry. They thought it was the British's fault for making the tea tax n first place. The British thought it was the colonists fault for even dumping the tea in the harbor. Both sides got even madder at each other. The Boston Tea party lead to many other occasions before the war. Maybe, if the Boston Tea Party had never happened, the war would had never happened either!

  8. I think the Boston Tea party had the most impact. The Boston Tea party was wild! It made the British so mad! The British made all the colonists clean the Boston Harbor because the colonist dumped the tea, known as the Boston Tea party! Then came the intolerable act. The colonists were mad! So the colonists had to pay a lot of taxes! The East India Tea Company got mad also because the colonists threw the tea from the Company and the Company got a little angry! So I thought that the Boston Tea party had the most impact! -Frances :)

  9. I think the french and indian is the most important part of the revalutionary war. First of all with out this war no taxs would be given. if it wasent there amrica would still be listening to britan. All the other events are nothing compared to this war. This is the start of all amrica. So that is why this war is important. ryan hanover

  10. I think the one event that we discussed that had the most impact on the Revolutionary War was the Daughters Of Liberty. I think this because they told the colonist to stop buying imported goods from Britain. By doing this, they were hurting British business by not letting them make money. they weakened the British and empowered them selves by making there own goods instead of buying British goods. an example of this is when they made there own tea out of herbs and berries. They made colonists brave and self-comfadent and make them feel like they can live without British goods and laws.JT Scannell #17

  11. I think the Stamp Act had the most impact. I think it had the most impact because It was the one that started all of the taxing. Maybe one colonist was having the best day ever and then all of a sudden you need to be taxed. The colonist had to pay extra for any paper they bought. They payed for even playing cards! That is why I thought the stamp act had the biggest impact. CHRISTIAN ENWIA #8

  12. I think the boston tea party had a big im packed on the revolutionary war. One reason is that they dumped the tea into the harber. Two because everyone started to boycott the red coats. The tea party happend unexpectedly towreds the town. It sent Briish to stay nights with Colonists. Everyone had theee own thoughts on this act. Julia Russomano

  13. I think the Boston Massacre was the event that had the most impact on the Revolutionary War. The Boston Massacre made the colonist infuriated because the colonist were killed when they couldn't do anything about it. The Boston Massacre also made the colonist mad because the soldiers killed the colonist when they didn't have weapons to defend themselves. Plus the British who killed the colonist in the massacre were sent to the judge and not claimed guilty. This made the colonist even more mad because the colonist didn't get a fair vote in the judgement. The Boston Massacre also made the colonist mad because the soldiers killed the colonist when they didn't have weapons to defend themselves. These killings made the colonist very mad and this led to the British and colonist fighting. Mason Prinz #15 :D

  14. I think that the sons of liberty were the most important event because it was dangerous. The sons of liberty were dangerous because they would burn stamps and threaten to kill stamp agents. They also would be hired to sneak stamps from the stamp agents and were almost killed while in progress. They would also be at a tree and they would hang a life size doll and poor tar on them and throw feathers at the doll. They were so dangerous that stamp agent would break down the Sons of Liberty's houses or even kill them. The last thing is that the sons of liberty were a group of men that were mean and it was only men no kids of woman.; Cooper Wrzosek #21 :P

  15. I think that the most important thing was the Boston tea party. It impact the British and the Indian tea company. Also I think that some people died in the water by the coldness. It made the British so angry.So they did not pay the tax so they dumped into the ocean. It was not a tea party. The water became tea.

  16. i think the stamp act most led to the revolutionary war. Here are a few reasons why, 1 because they enraged the colonists when they taxed them on stamps. Also because they said they had to house soldiers. And they had to pay for boston to protect them. This would infuriate me so much just like it did to the colonists. Also they had to pay taxes on everything not just stamps but everything. Also the boston people were nice enough to only tax tea at one point. Then that led to the boston tea party and so on. Also they would have to feed the soldiers they had to take care of. #6

  17. I think the French and Indian War had the most impact leading to the Revolutionary War. Reason #1: Great Britain lost a lot of money from sending soldiers to come help the Colonists win the French and Indian War. The British prime minister came up with the idea to pass the Stamp Act. Reason #2: Some colonists were also upset with the British, because King George the 3rd passed the proclamation of 1763. Colonists were upset because they wanted new land to settle. That is why I I think the French and Indian War had the most impact leading to the Revolutionary War.

  18. I think the intolerable acts lead to the revolutionary war.It lead to the revolutionary war because it made the colonists furious so they would do a lot more to rebel the British army and King George the third. Another reason is that they had to feed the soldiers and give them a place to sleep. Nobody likes to have strangers in they're house especially when they have guns.They also had to pay for all the tea they destroyed and no ships could come in and get out.

  19. I think that the french and Indian war was the cause of the revolutionary war. I have many reasons why one is because the french and Indian war started all of the events leading to the revolutionary war. Another reason is because it was the first war. Another reason is because it was the first event. So that is why I think that the French and Indian war was the cause of the revolutionary war. Nico Jorge #11 :o

So they did not pay tax's and they got three ships full of tea.It was not a tea party. Also the water became tea. AA1

  21. I think that it was a big impact because the colonists did not like how the British was treating them. The British refused to let the colonists settle in the Appalachian mountains so the Colonists got mad at British and then it became the Revolutionary War. Tatianna Booth #4
