The American Revolution: Episode 3: Early Stirrings of Revolution
It took a while for the American colonists to begin thinking of themselves as colonies that could bond together to resist British imperial policy, let alone rallying together for the purpose of independence. But, before we can get to July 4, 1776, we have to understand all of the British policies and American reactions that built momentum that would eventually become the American Revolution. This episode covers such things as the Stamp Act, the Tea Act, the Boston Tea Party, the Boston Massacre, the Intolerable Acts, etc.
