This event was caused by colonists’ anger at Britain as a result from the economic struggles they were facing from the taxes passed. If Britain had not passed the Stamp Act and other taxes/acts (such as the Townshend Acts) against America, then the colonists would not have been so angry at Britain. Though the colonists’ anger from the economic measures taken by Britain essentially caused all of the tension and hard feelings against the British…

During the 1920s, many events had taken place that have impacted American culture to this day.
