Today's lecture for history one on one, I just kind of wanted to remind you guys that the Connect assignments are still do, as usual, with the usual schedule if you're not sure what the schedule is you can check out our syllabus, the schedule in the syllabus has what the due dates are, or you can log into connect to directly and look at the schedule there but either way just kind of wanted to point that out to you guys as a friendly reminder. So, last class we left off talking about the different perspectives that England kind of had on on the, the actions that the American colonists have taken to this point and reasons why England had a right to feel upset. We talked a little bit about America's perspective and why they kind of feel they had a right to feel a little bit upset as well. What I want to do is pick up today talking about kind of a replacement for the Stamp Act Remember last lecture we talked about how the Stamp Act was ultimately repealed by Parliament, which means less money is coming in and remember Parliament still has that hundred and 45 million pounds or million dollars of debt, that is still has to pay off so when the Stamp Act got repealed. That's less revenue coming in. So, England needed to replace the stamp back with something else and what they're ultimately going to replace it with is a new set of laws that were referred to as the Townshend acts of 1767. So we'll talk a little bit about what those townshend acts look like, we'll talk about what America's reaction to the townshend acts are going to be and what we see is that America is going to be forced, an American colonists are going to be forced to get kind of creative in terms of how they protest these laws, England is going to kind of wise up from its last attempts at passing laws and dispatch professional soldiers to the city of Boston, because Parliament identified the city of Boston pretty quickly. As an area of discontent and an area where a lot of problems kind of start in the American colonies. So what that's going to do is force the Bostonians to get creative. Can't you know attack our tax collectors anymore and intimidate them into resigning because the British soldiers around. So how can we protest these laws without pissing off the British soldiers and getting ourselves on the wrong side of the law. So we'll talk about what the reaction is going to look like that non violent reactions going to look like and how that non violent reaction of protests is going to be even more effective in a lot of ways than what the previous violent protests were so we'll talk about what that looks like, what those nonviolent protests, the impact that they have on the British and on parliament. We'll talk about the Boston Massacre and the details of the Boston Massacre of 1770. We'll talk in detail about what happened that particular night some of the major characters involved including john adams what the outcome of that trial is going to be the impact that the Boston Massacre has on the relationship between England and the American colonies, but also how this is going to play out in the media, what we're going to see is that both sides are really going to attempt to to spin this in a way that makes their side look better than the other side. We'll take a look at an example of some American propaganda and a picture specifically that you'll get a chance to see in the PowerPoint presentation, what you're going to see is that picture. The original picture was edited censored doctored a little bit. And what you're going to see is that it's doctored in a way that is going to be very anti British and it's in stance in this position. So, we'll take a closer look at that specific picture. We'll talk about how if the Boston Massacre. Really, angered American colonists towards Great Britain, the HMS gaspee incident is going to be that big event that's going to anger England towards the American colonies so we'll talk briefly about what that HMS gaspee incident was, and the impact that it has on the American relationship with Great Britain. We'll end this lecture talking about a new law that gets passed as well called the Tea Act of 1773, and will how that Tea Act is going to kind of be the beginning of the end in terms of the relationship between the American colonies in Great Britain, that that Tea Act is going to precipitate the breaking points and we'll talk more about that what that breaking point is probably in our next lecture. So hopefully that all makes sense and we're all kind of on board. So, going back to topics we discussed last class we left off with talking about England's perspective and why England feels like it has a right to feel upset with how things have gone to this point, some of the points that we'd mentioned here is that the American violence towards the tax collectors is unacceptable that, you know, we, as England accrued this debt 145 million pounds of debt from protecting you the American colonists and we're asking you to help pay it back taxes in England are much worse from the American perspective we talked about how, you know, England already squeezes a lot of money out of the American colonies through the imbalance of trade that we discussed that taxes are now going back to England for the first time, which is a new thing and that's something that we have a lot of issues with over here in the American colonies as well, that we fought in the French Indian War and we paid with our blood as well as our supplies and donations to the war effort. And we never got compensated for those donations. So as far as we as Americans are concerned we already paid for our portion of that hundred 45 million pounds of debt. So what I want to pick up with today are those Townshend Acts that I referenced at the beginning of this. So those Townshend Acts of 1767 are going to be a series of new taxes on some of the most popular products in the American colonies. And remember this tax the whole point of it is to replace the previously repealed Stamp Act. So what we're going to see is that tax is going to be placed on paper, lead glass, and tea. Those were among the most popular products in the American colonies right now. So it makes perfect sense for England to kind of put these these taxes on here. What we also see is it's going to expand the number of vice Admiralty courts in the American colonies which we've already talked about how you know vice Admiralty courts were courts in which all you got was a British judge, no American judge and no American jury. We're also going to see is that part of the Townshend Acts here are going to threaten the colony of New York because the county of New York, had had refused to follow the rules of the quartering act of 1765. Remember how we mentioned that the quartering act forces, Americans, particularly in owners and hotel owners and things like that to open up rooms at the expense of the colonies and New York for a while had issues with that didn't want to follow it. And what ultimately part of the townshend Acts is going to do is threatened to in essence dissolve the New York governments, unless they follow the rules. So as you can imagine this new law the Townshend Acts is going to be wildly unpopular. And and you're gonna see small scale violence kind of break out in Boston once again over this law, but Parliament had seen this show before and Parliament decided that it's not going to make the same mistake that I made last time. So, not too long after this law gets passed Parliament decides to send professional British soldiers into the city of Boston, basically to maintain the peace again at identifying Boston as an area where things had gone wrong in the past and this is where all of our trouble starts so if we send soldiers in the city of Boston, hopefully that will prevent that, you know that that violence and breaking out. Not a not a stupid move on the part of Parliament to kind of learn our lesson the first time around. So what this is going to do is it's going to force the, the Boston mob, and the rest of the people of Boston to get creative.
