APUSH SAQ 9/29

Name 1 significant cause for colonial rebellion

Around 10,000 troops weren’t removed after the war(too expensive to move them back, & they wanted to keep an eye on the colonists); to the colonists, this felt like a punishment, which made them mad since they didn’t do anything

Name another cause for colonial rebellion

The proclamation of 1763 is another reason as to why the colonists rebelled. The proclamation restricted the colonists from going anywhere past the Appalachians. This limitation made the colonists extremely angry because they felt like they had the right to move inward; along with this they also upped the taxes and restrictions
