THE ROAD TO WAR
I. Changing Policies:
(ending “salutary neglect”)
A. Navigation Acts:
B. Sugar Act (1764)
George Grenville
Patrick Henry
C. Stamp Act (1765)
D. Townshend Duties (1767)
II. Escalation:
A. Discussion:
The Boston Massacre
In spite of each parasite, each cringing slave
Each cautious dastard, each oppressive knave
Each gibing ass, that reptile of an hour
The supercilious pimp of abject slaves in power
We are met to celebrate in festive mirth
The day that gave our freedom second birth
That tells us, British Grenville never more
Shall dare usurp unjust, illegal power
Or threaten America’s free sons with chains,
While the least spark of ancient fire remains
B. Burning of the Gaspee
