George Grenville was the British Prime Minister from 1763-1765. After the extremely costly Seven Years' War, he ordered the Navy to enforce the unpopular Navigation Laws. Then, in 1764, Grenville got Parliament to pass the Sugar Act, which increased duties on sugar imported from the West Indies. Also, in 1765, he brought the Quartering Act into play. This had forced colonists to provide food and shelter for the British soldiers. Many colonists, though, believed them only there for the purpose of keeping them in line. This, of course, just put more fuel on the fire of wanting and needing independence.

Chapter 5 Proper Nouns and questions (include dates) A. The American colonist, overall, had a good standard of living. Why then did the wealthy gentry lead the original push for rebellion? (pg 127) They wanted to regain their rights, that Parliament was taking away. In 1774 British troops came over, which enrages many colonists. After 1765, lower class people began to join in with the rebellions. B. In your opinion, how did the young and diverse population of the American Colonies help contribute to the American revolution? Nearly 60% of the population in the 1700s was under the age of 21, and with so many young people beginning to understand politics and their society, this large percent has a big influence on the overall thinking of the time. King George III

The Mobilization of Minorities Seeds of Indian Militancy -Native Americans had the most grievances against the prevailing culture: Were the poorest and least stable group in the nation ? income about $1000 per family. Were the most ignored group in America. -society continued to try to assimilate N.A. whether they wanted to or not: New policy of ?termination? in 1953 ? Indians faced the same local jurisdictions as white residents. Government also tried to push Indians into cities, where they hoped that they would lose their cultural distinctiveness. -termination led to corruption and abuse -> Eisenhower barred further ?termination? without the consent of the tribes. Indians became more militant and revived the National Congress of American Indians (NCAI).
