The British government developed a new colonial policy in the 1760s due to the costs of administering its vast empire following the French and Indian War. Colonists opposed this new policy because it increased taxes and regulations via acts like the Sugar Act and Stamp Act in violation of their tradition of self-governance. As colonial reaction escalated through boycotts and protests, tensions increased and eventually led to open rebellion and the Revolutionary War. Meanwhile, colonists divided into Patriots who chose independence through revolution, Loyalists who remained loyal to Britain, and moderates caught between the two sides.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

11. French and Indian War – a timeline
1754 – 1763
1754 – Fort Necessity (British) lost to French and Indian forces;
Col. George Washington’s first defeat in battle (attack on French Fort
Duquesne)
1755 – Gen. Edward Braddock, KIA trying to retake Fort Necessity
1755 – colonial forces defend against Indian attacks along the Ohio Valley;
1756 – France and England declare war on each other in Europe
1757 – William Pitt takes over war effort in colonies; forced service
(impressment); farmers supplies seized, British troops quartered in colonial
homes with no compensation; violent protest by colonials (NY)
1758 – Pitt relaxes many of the policies; return war effort to colonial control;
Enlistments increase dramatically; Fort Duquesne falls to British regulars
1759 – Battle of Quebec; Gen. James Wolfe finds an unknown trail to take
the “impregnable” fort
1760 – fighting ends; atrocities carried out against natives; French/Indians
retaliate
1763 – Treaty signed
(movie reference: Last of the Mohicans; parts of The Patriot)
12. 1763 Treaty of Paris signed
Colonists see newly acquired land as ripe
for the taking
Native Americans (in general) ie. Ottawa
tribe, led by Chief Pontiac, sees differently
Encroaching settlers attacked
To keep the peace Parliament passes the
Proclamation of 1763: designed to keep
settlers from moving west of the Appalachian
Mountains; it only angers the colonists.
Benefits to Proclamation (in Britain’s eyes):
1. London controls western movement, not
colonies
2. Slowers western settlement means slower
eastern population decline which means
larger population for workforce in coastal
industries
Native Americans not happy with
Proclamation - - really? Cannot imagine
why…
1768 a new agreement is reached because
London cannot keep colonists from
moving west, but this time they
promised the western boundary of the
colonies would not change…
(La La La, whatever…)
13. The conflict/tension over the Navigation Acts and
various duties attracted more public attention than
any other 18th century affair
(Anglo)American were accustomed to broad powers
of self-government
Keys to self-government:
Provincial assemblies
Colonial right to give or withhold power to those assemblies
Parliamentary actions such as overriding provincial
assemblies, raising taxes on the public, providing
salaries to royal officials in America were all attempts
(in the colonists eyes) to control colonial political power
Home rule was not something new the colonists were trying to
obtain, rather is was something old and familiar which they
desired to keep!
Resistance of British policies was a movement to conserve
liberties Americans believed they already possessed
14. Officials in England had contempt for the colonies
The believed the colonies did little to help themselves
financially in the war; a war that was fought to preserve
the colonies
Not only were colonists unwilling to pay taxes to
England, they were unwilling to even tax themselves
Pressure in England from landlords and merchants
about the ever rising taxes on already high rates
They argued the colonies should be paying more in taxes
Stationing of more troops in the colonies to prevent
indian attacks raise additional gov’t. spending
England sees a system of taxation as the only
alternative to force the colonies to raise the revenue
paid to England
15. Established a line east of the
Appalachian Mountains as a
boundary in which no colonist
could cross
The Crown stated it was for the
colonist’s protection from
native American
The colonists felt as if the King
(George III) was trying to keep
them confined
16. •Assumed the throne in 1760 at age 22
•Changed the monarchy – active and
responsible
•Removed the Whig coalition (those who
managed the colonies since their
establishment)
• Replaced them with people he bribed
and gave patronage to
• Allowed him to gain control of
Parliament
•Psychological and intellectual limitations
• “bouts of insanity”
• Confined to the castle
• “painfully” immature
•Appointed George Greenville to Prime
Minister
• Does not share American point of view
(with William Pitt)
• Colonists should be “compelled” to obey
laws and pay a part of the cost of
defending the colonies
• Instantly began imposing a new system
of control on the colonies
17. An amendment to the Sugar (and Molasses)
Act of 1733
Lowered rate of tax on molasses
Increased the number of goods that will be
taxed, including sugar
Enforcement of this tax drastically reduced
the rum business, limited colonial trade
partners and reduced the amount of English
currency with which the colonies needed to
purchase English manufactured goods
18. England had thought this act would be the least
controversial but rather it inflamed the revolutionary spirit
of “no taxation without representation”
Act was not designed to raise money to pay the existing
debt from the war; was designed to keep a failing company
afloat (British East India Company)
18 million pounds of unsold tea; cannot sell it in England
(no market demand)
Parliament gave special exemption to the Company to
export the tea to the colonies and pay no navigation taxes
(today, we call those tax breaks for government sponsored
businesses)
Allowed the Company to undersell American tea merchants
The Company granted franchises to specific colonial
merchants to sell their tea which resulted in resentment
among businessmen
19. England hoped that the act would gain
support as it lowered the price of tea
The Act only increased resentment as the
colonists saw this as yet another way in
which parliament was using unconstitutional
means to control the colonies
Resulted in the largest boycott of the
colonies; connected the colonies in a
commonly shared experience; women
become leaders of the boycott as they were
the largest consumers of tea in the colonies
20. In a typical tar-and-feathers
attack, the subject of a crowd's
anger was stripped to his waist.
Hot tar was either poured or
painted onto the person while
he was immobilized. Then the
victim either had feathers
thrown on him or was rolled
around on a pile of feathers so
that they stuck to the tar. Often
the victim was then paraded
around town on a cart or
wooden rail. The aim was to
inflict enough pain and
humiliation on a person to make
him either reform his behavior
or leave town. The practice was
never an official punishment in
the United States, but rather a
form of vigilante justice.
21. Taxeslevied on all goods coming into (the
colonies)
Sugar
Molasses
Foreign goods (glass, paper, paint, lead, tea)
Although they (colonists) had no say in how
the tax revenue was spent, they generally
considered Parliament had the right to levy
this tax
22. Taxeslevied on all good produced within (the
colonies)
Newspapers
Official documents (death notices, court papers)
Other goods and services
For the purpose of raising revenue
Colonists
had no say in how this money (tax
revenue) was spent, as they had no
“representation” in Parliament
This causes the thought that the right to tax the
colonies should rest with the colonies
23. Adistinct body of law which governs
maritime questions and offenses
Also covers many commercial activities which
could be land based or wholly occurring on land
that are “maritime” in nature
No trial by jury in these courts
Givenjurisdiction (by Parliament) over cases
as they arose, as with the Stamp Act
No colonial trial jury would find a colonist guilty
of violating the Stamp Act, therefore Parliament
changed the jurisdiction…
24. Applied only against Massachusetts
Center of resistance movement
Resulted from the Boston Tea Party
1. closed the port of Boston (until East India
Tea was paid for)
2. Reduced power of self-government in the
colony
3. Allowed for royal officers to be tried in
other colonies or England when accused of
crimes
4. Quarter of English troops mandatory
25. Parliament follows up with the Quebec Act:
Objective was to provide a civil government for
French-Speaking Roman Catholic inhabitants of
Canada and the Illinois territory
Granted political rights to Roman Catholics
Recognized the legality of the Roman Catholic
church
Long overdue toleration for this practice the colonies
Worried colonists of an attempt to impose Anglican
rule over all religious sects
Convinced some that a plot existed in London to
subject the colonies to the tyranny of the Pope
26. “if this be treason, make the most of it”
Resolved:
1. Americans posfeff the same rightf as English,
efcpecially in matters of taxation by their own
representativef
2. Virginians should pay no taxef except those voted
on by the Virginia Asfembly
3. Anyone advocating the right of Parliament to tax
the colony is deemed an enemy to the colony
House of Burgess votes down the most extreme
resolutions
Gives the appearance that Virginia was more militant
than it actually was
27. New York
Delegates from nine colonies
Petition the King
Acceptance of colonial subordination to the King
(but) claim taxation should be carried out only
through the colonial assemblies
28. Acts based in MA. but menaced all colonies
Congress settles on five decisions:
1. Rejected a plan for colonial union (similar to the
Albany Plan of Union)
2. Called for a repeal of all oppressive legislation on the
colonies since 1763 (but still recognized the right of
Parliament to rule the colonies)
3. Colonies should make military preparations against
possible British attack (in Boston)
4. Complete boycott of all British goods (hence the reason for
military preparedness!!)
5. Established a time and date for a second meeting
indicating they considered the Continental Congress
to be a continuous organization
29. A protest unlike any other in the colonies
Involved large segments of the population
Helped link the colonies in a common
experience
Brought the colonies together which was vital in
the success of the (eventual) war
Women were particularly important
Largest consumers of tea (“is that a fat joke?”)
Mercy Otis Warren – writer of dissident
literature/satirical plays
30. Vigilante group
largest group existed in Boston (Sam Adams)
Encouraged/enforced boycotts and other
forms or resistance
Daughters of Liberty
Women’s form of male group
“rather than freedom, we will part with our tea”
31. Office holders in the English gov’t.
Merchants (business tied to the imperial
system)
Colonists who lived in isolation
Cultural and ethnic minorities – new colonial
gov’t. might not provide sufficient
protections
Colonists who feared social instability
Colonists who hoped to gain favor by staying
loyal (in the event of an English win)
32. Probably suffered the worst
(rock - *moderates* - hard place)
They did not pick a side and as a result were
persecuted by both Patriots and Loyalists
33. Ordered all subjects of the crown as loyal
British citizens to use everything in their
power to suppress the rebellion and to give
knowledge of anyone involved in the
rebellion against the crown
34. Wanted to expose the folly of the hope of
reconciliation with England
Wanted to focus American anger away from
taxes and acts of Parliament and more
toward the entire English constitution
Wanted Americans to blame the King not
Parliament or ministers
It was simple “common sense” for Americans
to break from such a corrupt government
“these are the times that try men’s souls”
35. Continental Congress was moving slowly
toward a final break with England
Entered into contracts with foreign countries
(violation of Navigation Acts)
Opened up ports to ships of all foreign
countries (again, violation)
Encouraged all colonies to establish
government bodies independent from the
British empire (most had already done this)
Appointed a committee to draft a
declaration of independence
36. 1. What are Dickinson’s views on the relationship
between the colonies and Great Britain?
2. Why did the colonists view the Stamp Act as
unconstitutional?
3. What was the purpose of all acts passed by
Parliament (regarding the colonies) prior to the
Stamp Act?
4. What is the overall issue with the Townsend
Duties?
5. What will be the full (and intended) outcome
if the Townsend Duties are allowed to remain
unopposed?
37. 1. What is the objection given to Dickinson’s
letter #2?
2. What is Dickinson’s reply to the “internal”
and “external” debate?
3. What is the reason Dickinson gives for the
opposition to the Townsend Duties (as in the
Stamp Act)?
38. 1.
There is a message in Letter 6. This
message was for the colonies in 1770. That
message has truth in it for all the
generations since then. See if you can pick it
out…
39. 1. What is the overwhelming message in
Letter 7?
2. Outline the steps Dickinson says are
necessary for liberty to be preserved.
(Letter 12)
