synthesis

The three documents, the quote by J. Adams, and the video we watched, all lead to one thing: the beginning of the separation of the colonies from the British. The stamp act was the start of it all. The video was talking about how the British had little respect for the colonies. Basically, the British were just using the colonies to make them extra money unfairly. When the colonies fought back by boycotting British goods, the British reacted drastically. They blocked off the ports of Boston. I think the British should not have been taxing the American colonies…But then again, on the other hand, the Colonies were being protected by the British. Without the British, the colonies would never have been started in the first place.
