Seeds of Independence

The Seeds of Independence were planted in the colonies as people began to question British authority and their right to govern. Events such as the imposition of taxes without representation, like the Stamp Act and Townshend Acts, caused colonists to feel unfairly treated.

This growing discontent led to protests and the formation of groups like the Sons of Liberty, who organized resistance against British policies. The desire for self-governance and freedom from oppressive laws began to unite the colonies, setting the stage for the American Revolution.
