American resistance to British imperial legislation became forceful and violent during the Imperial Crisis. Describe the Stamp Act crisis and Boston Massacre. Which event proved more significant and why in fueling the emerging American resistance movement?

Expert Solution

There were several reasons that led to the war of independence but it was the stamp act that taxed anything that was printed in America which was expected to pay in the British currency and not in the colonists’ money. This created a huge resentment among the colonists who came up with the slogan that no taxation without representation because the colonists were still considering themselves as British citizens who required their rights to consent for the taxation. Boston Massacre brought out the need to fight the British soldiers in the colonies and prepare for a greater war. Although Boston Massacre that occurred in 1770 was just a street brawl and the result of the law and order in which many colonists were brutally killed and wounded by the British soldiers, it’s the treatment of the British Empire that angered the colonists as they felt that they were treated like slaves. The Stamp Act that was passed in 1965 that infuriated the colonists and prepare for a war of independence in order to create a nation of their own.
