State Indicator 8-2.2
Summarize the response of South
Carolina to events leading to the
American Revolution, including
the Stamp Act, the Tea Acts, and
the Sons of Liberty.
Explain how
events
surrounding the
American
Revolution
transformed British
Colonists into
American citizens
and South
Carolina’s pivotal
role in this process.
Previous Knowledge
• Students should have some prior knowledge of the Tea
Act, the Intolerable Acts, and the Declaration of
Independence and South Carolina’s role in these events.
Students also learned about the perspectives of Patriots,
Loyalists, women, enslaved and free Africans, and Native
Americans and the course of the war in South Carolina.
Students also learned about the role of the French and
Indian War in bringing about a change in British colonial
policies and colonial resistance through boycotts,
congresses, and petitions. Students also learned how the
Enlightenment influenced the American Revolution.
Future Knowledge
• In United States History, students will examine the conflict
between colonial legislatures and the British Parliament over
the right to tax that resulted in the American Revolutionary
War
Relevance
• When you want to buy something “new”, how do
you get the money for it?
• Work for it?
• Ask a parent?
• Grandparent?
• Save allowance?
In the same way that you save money or work for
money to buy what you want, the British Crown and
Parliament imposed TAXES on the colonies in order
to pay for the French and Indian War. However, the
colonists believed it was the right of their colony not
the prerogative of the King to impose Taxes.

• The MOST IMPORTANT tax placed on the colonist
by Parliament.
• This Act placed a tax on paper such as legal
documents or newspapers which the colonists
paid directly to the seller.
• Prior to this taxes were paid indirectly by the
Merchants.
Stamp Act
Stamp Act
• This ACT led the colonist to protest “No Taxation
Without Representation” because colonist did not
have their own representative in Parliament and
therefore believed that they had no colonial
voice in Parliament.
• Colonists wanted the rights of their own colonial
assemblies to control taxation.
• Colonists organized a Stamp Act Congress and a
boycott on British goods (manufactured goods)
that led to the end of the Stamp Act.

• On your whiteboards, please explain why the
colonists boycotted English Manufactured Goods.
− “NO TAXATION WITHOUT REPRESENTATION!!!!!”

Sons and Daughters of Liberty
• After the Stamp Act was repealed the Sons and
Daughters of Liberty were organized, in order to
protest British taxes.
• The Sons used tactics of persuasion and
intimidation to enforce boycotts
Burned Effigies of Tax collectors
Ransacked tax collectors homes
Threatened the lives of tax collectors
• Daughters of Liberty stopped buying British goods
and found substitutes instead.
Townshend and Tea
Townshend duties
• Indirect tax imposed by
British on the import of paint,
paper, tea, and many other
goods
• Now the colonists didn’t
want indirect taxes either
because it was a way for
the crown to gain revenue
instead of regulate trade.
• The colonist boycotted and
the duties were lifted
• Except the tax on TEA
Tea ACT
• Tea ACT was NOT a tax
• This gave the British East
India Company
exclusive rights to sell
tea in the colonies
because the East India
Tea Company had

Tea Act
• Colonists boycotted because of the Tea tax
during the Townshend Acts.
• The Sons of Liberty feared that the tea from the
East India Tea Company being sold so cheap
would affect the boycott so they organized a little
“Tea Party in Boston”
• The sons threw the tea overboard in Boston, there
were also smaller parties in Georgetown and
Charles Town. These parties didn’t allow the tea to
be sold.

what the colonists called the Intolerable Acts
Checking For Understanding

organized the Boston Tea Party.
