Steps to Revolution Starting in 1763 -1775One of the most significant events in American history was the Revolution. Before 1763, which marked the beginning of the path to the Revolution, America and Great Britain were on good terms. The English helped America try to defeat the Indians for the Ohio Valley. A year after the "efforts" of the English to help America conquer the Ohio Valley, something happens... Prime Minister George Grenville creates the Sugar Act of 1764. This act, in short, taxed sugar. The American colonists still held power through the royal veto. The colonists were outraged, Grenville was taxing the main ingredients of bread and alcohol, two of America's favorites. The colonists may also have seen this tax as solving the English's problems. The colonists' protests worked somewhat, however the Quartering Act of 1765 required some colonies to provide food and housing for British troops. In the same year, 1765, George Grenville again crossed the line, but this time even further, by creating a Stamp Act. This also served to make the American colonists "support" the British military force. This law was horrible, you had to put a stamp on almost fifty different objects, from playing cards to your marriage certificate, as proof of tax payment. George Grenville's defense was that the colonies pay this amount only for their defense, and that Britain has endured this same style of taxation much longer and heavier. Grenville was certainly the man who lit the fire in the eyes of the Americans led on the path of the Revolution. Angry American colonists wanted to stop the Stamp Act, and so they came up with “No Taxation Without Representation.” The Americans claimed that no Americans were sitting in Parliament, so no taxes should be imposed on Americans. Only colonial legislatures could legally tax Americans was another point of discussion Grenville saw this and claimed that Americans were represented in Parliament, his rebuttal was "virtual representation" even though America had never voted for a member of Parliament , all were to represent the British Soldiers. This fighting continued and America was told to think about gaining its own political independence, this eventually led to revolutionary consequences. The hated Stamp Act led to the Stamp Act Congress of 1765, which brought twenty-seven distinguished delegates from nine colonies to New York..
