The Navigation acts were laws passed by England to maintain control over colonial trade. The acts made colonists by English goods in limited trade between the colonists and other countries.

The stamp acts made the colonists by stamps for basically every piece of paper ever used!!! What is your deal Britain? So the sons of liberty was created to protest the taxes that Britain repealed anyway.

This congress was created to send a request for the repeal of the stamp act to Britain and organized boycotts of goods sent from Britain. This had no effect on Britain, but the protests were very effective.

These acts said that any solder can come to your door and you have to let them live with you (seriously Britain, nice move). Again, we get seriously upset, and this also appears in at least 2 legal documents to prevent it from happening.

-
We make an ARMY! We name George Washington. This aggravates the British.

Talk about a weird name. The battle for upper ground and a good position over Boston wasn't even fought on this hill. The British took the hill but suffered more casualties, winning only by a low store of ammunition.
