Great Britain, which now included both England and Scotland, saw its colonies around the world as a source of profit. Colonies were places to cut timber, grow This is SO not crops such as cotton and coffee, and mine for valuable going to work. minerals. The king forced the colonists to sell these raw materials back to England at really cheap prices. People in England would use the materials to make finished products. But did the colonists get a bargain on these items because they provided the materials? No way! The king forced the colonists to buy the finished products at extra high prices. Hmm... What about t axing the American Looking for a Fast Buck? colonists? That was only the beginning. In the mid-1700’s, Britain fought two expensive wars. Britain had taken out a lot of debt to pay for the war, so it went looking for a way to make money fast. Taxing the American colonists seemed like the perfect idea. So, in 1765, Britain passed the Stamp Act, which forced colonists to put expensive tax stamps on all legal documents, as well as newspapers, calendars, and almanacs. The colonists had an answer for that: They quit buying British goods! But this boycott didn’t work for long. Britain repealed the Stamp Act after A stamp King George III one year, but things did not get better. From Bad to Worse As soon as the Stamp Act was gone, the British passed the Declaratory Act saying that the colonies were dependent on the king and declaring that all laws passed in the colonies had no effect. As if that weren’t bad enough, Britain also passed the Townshend Revenue Act, taxing things it knew the colonists couldn’t make for themselves: paint, glass, paper, lead, and tea. This Act also allowed British government workers to search peoples’ houses and even break down doors to seize items the homeowner hadn’t paid taxes for. On top of that, the Quartering Acts of 1765 and 1774 forced certain colonists to let British troops live in their houses. The soldiers didn’t even have to pay rent! Then, in the 1770s, a series of laws cracked down on rebellious activity in Massachusetts colony. Colonists called these the Intolerable Acts.

Underline the word that describes the topic or subject of each sentence. Answer the following questions after you read and mark up the document: A. Where did most people settle in South Carolina before the mid-1700s? B. What stopped settlers from moving to the Backcountry? Before the mid-1700s, South Carolina nearly entirely settled near the coast in the Low Country. The Backcountry of the colony was open to attack and largely controlled by Native Americans. No settlers dared to venture out into the unknown for fear of attack or from becoming lost in the wilderness. There were very few paths or trails leading to the Backcountry and most of the territory was unsettled (Johnson, pg. 10). Conditions of the rivers and streams were also very challenging, as most were wild rapids that were too treacherous to cross. The land that many settlers found was often barren and unable to settle. Other areas covered with swamplands were unsuitable for agriculture and infested by dangerous creatures (Johnson, pg. 11). The few that did dare to venture out into the Upcountry struggled mightily to survive.
