VIRTUAL: Taxation, Tyranny and Treason – The Road to the Declaration of Independence In-Person / Online
**PLEASE NOTE THIS IS A VIRTUAL PROGRAM THAT WILL TAKE PLACE VIA ZOOM. Registrants will receive a link to access the Zoom Webinar via email.
Christopher Daley present this dynamic talk that traces the turbulent decade that transformed colonial protest into outright rebellion. Britain’s victory in the French and Indian War saddled Parliament with staggering debt and long-ignored colonies suddenly found themselves targeted by new taxes and strict trade controls. The Sugar Act, Stamp Act, and Townshend Duties ignited resistance, while the rallying cry of “no taxation without representation” echoed from taverns to town greens. Daley takes us from the shocking Boston Massacre, the First Continental Congress, the gunfire at Lexington and Concord to the crafting of the Declaration of Independence!
