4. What historical event did American history begin with? What is the significance of this matter? The Boston Tea Party, also known as the Boston Tea Party, took place in 1773, when the people in the North American colony of Boston opposed the monopoly of tea trade by the British East India Company. 1773, Britain dumped the tea accumulated by the East India Company. Through the Regulations on Relief to the East India Company, the East India Company was granted the patent right to sell the overstocked tea in the North American colonies, exempted from paying high import tax, and only levied a slight tea tax. The regulations explicitly prohibit the sale of "private tea" in the colonies. As a result, the East India Company monopolized the distribution of tea in the North American colonies, and the price of imported tea was 50% cheaper than that of "private tea". These regulations caused great anger among the colonial people in North America. People consume nine-tenths of smuggled tea. People in new york, Philadelphia and Charleston refused to unload tea. In Boston, a group of young people led by Hancock and samuel adams set up the Boston Tea Party. /kloc-in October/October, the East India Company loaded 342 boxes of tea. In February, 8,000 people in Boston * * * asked the East India Company tea boat parked there to leave Hong Kong, but it was rejected. That night, under the organization of Boston Tea Party, anti-British people disguised as Indians broke into the ship and dumped all 342 boxes of tea (worth 18000) from three ships of the East India Company into the sea. Britain * * * adopts a high-handed policy, 65438+. Blockade Boston port, cancel Massachusetts autonomy, and freely station troops in colonies. This aroused the strong resistance of the colonial people, sharpened the contradiction between Britain and the North American colonies, and expanded the open conflict day by day. The Boston Tea Party was a political struggle of Boston, Massachusetts residents against the British Parliament. This is the beginning of the violent action of the North American people against colonial rule. This is one of the key points of the American revolution. The Boston Tea Party was a key event in the American Revolution. After the incident, Britain took a series of tough measures, which triggered a series of resistance actions in the colonies. The confrontation escalated and led to the outbreak of the American War of Independence in 1775.
5. The American War of Independence around 1770 in history is also called "North American War of Independence".
/kloc-In the second half of the 8th century, Britain established 13 colonies along the Atlantic coast. Every colony was ruled by a governor sent by Britain.
At this time, the colony has developed a large number of plantations and established a variety of industries such as textile, ironmaking and mining, and its economy is relatively prosperous. In order to increase fiscal revenue, Britain constantly increased the tax revenue of the colonies, and carried out outrageous oppression and cruel exploitation of the colonies.
1765, the British came up with a new trick: stamp duty. They stipulate that all official documents, contracts, licenses, newspapers, magazines, advertisements, documents and wills must be stamped with tax stamps before they can take effect and circulate.
This aroused the great anger of the colonial people, so secret anti-British organizations such as "sons of liberty" and "Communication Committee" appeared one after another, and anti-British incidents occurred from time to time everywhere, such as * * * British goods, driving away tax collectors, burning tax stamps, armed resistance and so on. All this caused panic in Britain, and they immediately sent troops to suppress it.
1On March 5, 770, British troops opened fire on unarmed citizens in Boston, killing five citizens and injuring six others on the spot, thus creating the "Boston Massacre" that shocked North America. Anti-British anger is burning in the hearts of colonial people, and a war for independence and freedom is about to burn in the North American continent.
Britain * * * prohibited the colonial people from reclaiming wasteland in the west of the Appalachian Mountains, and also imposed exorbitant taxes on the colonial people and dumped goods in the colonies. /kloc-one night in 0/773, a group of young people from Boston boarded an English tea boat moored in the harbor and dumped all 300 boxes of tea into the sea.
It's about the Boston tea party. 1775 On the morning of April 19, the people of Boston fired the first shot of the War of Independence over Lexington, and the gunfire in Lexington opened the curtain of the American War of Independence.
1775 In April, Gage, the governor of Massachusetts and commander-in-chief of the garrison, got a message that there was a secret munitions warehouse of the Communications Commission in Concord, not far from Boston. Gage immediately ordered Major Smith to lead 800 British troops in the search.
The troops set out overnight, and in the early morning of April, 19, they came to Lexington, a small village six miles from Concord. After a night of marching, the British army advanced in the fog before dawn.
They were all sleepy and yawned. Suddenly, they found dozens of villagers standing on the grass outside the village, holding long guns in their forehands.
Smith knew that these armed villagers were Lexington's militia, and the residents of the colonies in North America called them "one-minute people" because they acted very quickly. As soon as they hear the alarm, they can get up in one minute and go into battle immediately. To Smith's surprise, why did these militia know about the British action so quickly? It turned out that the scouts of the "Communication Committee" had already got the information and immediately hung a red light on the top of Boston Church.
Paul riveire, the messenger of the "Communication Committee", immediately rode to Concord to report to the police. "Shoot! Give me a rush! " When Smith saw that there were only a few dozen people on the other side, his original nervous mood relaxed immediately.
He simply ignored the dozens of ragged militiamen, raised his command knife and issued orders. Lexington's militia immediately counterattacked and violently resisted the British attack. Gunfire rang over Lexington and spread far and far.
After a few minutes, the gunfire gradually became sparse, and the militiamen quickly withdrew from the battlefield and dispersed and concealed because of the small number of people and unfavorable terrain. Smith was very proud of his first battle and ordered his soldiers to go straight to Concord.
When the British army arrived in the town, it was already dawn and the sun was rising, but there was no one in the street. Every household is closed and looks deserted. Smith ordered the search, and the British army went into every house and rummaged for a long time, but found nothing. It turned out that the militia had moved the warehouse and the leaders of the "Communication Committee" had also gone into hiding.
"Withdraw!" Smith felt that the situation was not good and immediately ordered to retreat. At this time, shouting ShaSheng everywhere outside the town, gunfire suddenly, nearby villages and towns militia have got the news, came from all directions to Concord City.
Surrounded the retreating British army. They ambushed behind the fence, in the bushes, on the roof and at the corner of the street, shooting at the British army.
The British army fell to the ground one after another, but when the British army fired back, there was no sign of the militia. The British army retreated all the way to Boston and was constantly attacked by militia along the way.
The fighting continued until dusk, and finally reinforcements from Boston rescued Smith and others. In this battle, the British army killed or injured 247 people, the militia sacrificed dozens of people and the rest of the British army ran out of ammunition. In retrospect, it is also a lingering fear. They tasted the iron fist of the colonial people for the first time.
A soldier said, "I haven't eaten for 48 hours. My hat was knocked off three times and two bullets penetrated my coat. My bayonet was also knocked out. "
The artillery fire in Lexington shook the 13 colony along the Atlantic coast. The American War of Independence began.
In order to unite against Britain, the Second Continental Congress of North America decided in June 14 to set up a colonial joint armed force, namely the Continental Army, and appointed Washington as the commander-in-chief. 10 13 years 10 months, decided to set up a continental fleet.
1776 On July 4th, the Continental Congress adopted the Declaration of Independence, which proclaimed the birth of the United States of America. At the beginning of the war, the strength of the two sides was very different.
Britain is the most powerful colonial country in the world, with a world-class navy and about 30 thousand British troops stationed in North America, well-equipped and well-trained; The population of North American colonies is only 3 million, and they are short of troops, backward in equipment and lack of training. However, the justice and progressiveness of the war affected the process and outcome of the war.
1775~ 1778 is the first stage of the war. The main battlefield is in the north, and the British army has the advantage. After the war began, the British army took the initiative to put out the revolutionary fire in the colonies quickly.
Its general strategy is: the navy controls the east coast of North America, and the army advances from Canada and new york to Lake plank and Hudson Valley respectively, so as to isolate the New England colony which is the most determined to Britain, and then crush other colonies one by one. Due to the weak forces, except for the expedition to Canada at the beginning of the war, the continental army was basically on the defensive and adopted the policy of waiting for the enemy to win and winning foreign aid.
1In May 775, the colonial militia took the initiative to attack and besieged Boston. 17 June, colonial people.
