From Empire to Revolt: The Road to Revolution, 1763–1773

Welcome back to APUSH for ALL! In today’s episode, we explore the turbulent decade after Britain’s victory in the French and Indian War. From the Proclamation of 1763 and the Stamp Act crisis to the Boston Massacre and Tea Party, we’ll see how taxation, propaganda, and protest reshaped colonial identity. Along the way, we’ll ask tough questions: were the Sons of Liberty heroes or thugs? Why did Boston lead the resistance? And how did debates over sovereignty and representation set the colonies on the path toward independence?
