1.

The Breaking Point.

There is a breaking point, for all revolutions.

Matt

1763 end of the Seven Year War, or French and Indian War.

End of this war set England as the dominent force in the Frontier and the largest most powerful Empire.

Colonist after this war felt they were proud Englishman.

- within just two years, angry mobs of Americans would attack the private residences of colonial officials?

- within five years, colonial leaders would call for a boycott of British goods?

- Or that within seven years, five colonists would lie dead on Boston Common, shot down by British troops?

England issued the Proclamation of 1763, prohibiting colonists from settling west of the Appalachian Mountains,

1764 Sugar Act - high taxes on sugar

1765 Stamp Act - Tax on all print.

1767 Townshend Act - further taxes on goods and enforcement of new taxes.

Take over of courts and judges.

Illegal Seizure of ships.

1773 Tea Act - Was to keep the East India Company as a monopoly on tea.

Then had the Boston Tea Party

1774 - The Boston Port Act and others.

In July 1775, the Continental Congress sent King George III the last-ditch "Olive Branch Petition," as it came to be called.

A complete Rejection and no desire to compromise form King Gorge 3

This was the breaking point for revolution in America.

Everything up to this point was only to get England to listen not actually about revolution, after this they realized that England only had their will in mind and did not want what was best for the Colonists then it became about revolution.

Sin does not have your best interest in mind.

Genesis lies.
