The [[Board of Trade|Lords of Trade]] issues [[quo warranto]] writs for the charters of several North American colonies, including Massachusetts.;;;;1681;;
[[Massachusetts Bay Colony|Revocation of the Charter]] by [[Charles II of England|Charles II]]. The Massachusetts writ is never served for technical reasons, and the agreement is formally vacated when the chancery court issues a [[scire facias]] writ formally annulling the charter. The proceedings are arranged so that the time for the colonial authorities to defend the charter expires before they even learn of the event.;;;;06.18.1684;;
Charter arrives in Boston establishing [[Dominion of New England|the Dominion of New England in America]].;;;;05.14.1686;;

Previously [[Franco-Indian alliance|allied with France]], [[Native Americans in the United States|Native American]] tribes in the Great Lakes region resist the policies of the British under Amherst. [[Pontiac's War|Pontiac's Rebellion]] begins, lasting until {1766}.;;;;1763;;
King George's [[Royal Proclamation of 1763]] establishes administration in territories newly ceded by France. To prevent further violence between settlers and Native Americans, the Proclamation sets a western boundary on the American colonies.;;;;10.07.1763;;
The [[Navigation Acts]] are re-enforced by [[George Grenville]] as a part of his attempt to reassert unified economic control over the [[British Empire]] following the [[Seven Years' War]].;;;;1763;;
The [[Sugar Act]], intended to raise revenues, and the [[Currency Act]] (September 1), prohibiting the colonies from issuing paper money, are passed by [[Great Britain|Parliament]]. These Acts, coming during the economic slump that followed the French and Indian War, are resented by the colonists and lead to protests.;;;;04.05.1764;;
To help defray the cost of keeping troops in America, Parliament enacts the [[Stamp Act 1765|Stamp Act]], imposing a tax on many types of printed materials used in the colonies. Seen as a violation of rights, the Act sparks violent demonstrations in several Colonies.;;;;03.22.1765;;

The British Parliament repeals the unpopular [[Stamp Act 1765|Stamp Act]] of the previous year, but, in the simultaneous [[Declaratory Act]], asserts its "full power and authority to make laws and statutes ... to bind the colonies and people of America ... in all cases whatsoever".;;;;03.18.1766;;
[[Liberty pole|Liberty Pole]] erected in New York City commons in celebration of the Stamp Act repeal. An intermittent skirmish with the British garrison over the removal of this and other poles, and their replacement by the [[Sons of Liberty]], rages until the [[Province of New York]] is under the control of the revolutionary [[New York Provincial Congress]] in {1775};;;;05.21.1766;;
The [[Townshend Acts]], named for [[Chancellor of the Exchequer]] [[Charles Townshend]], are passed by Parliament, placing duties on many items imported into America.;;;;06.29.1767;;
In April, Britain's Secretary of State for the Colonies, Lord Hillsborough, orders colonial governors to stop their own assemblies from endorsing [[Massachusetts Circular Letter|Adams' circular letter]]. Hillsborough also orders the governor of Massachusetts to dissolve the general court if the Massachusetts assembly does not revoke the letter. By month's end, the assemblies of [[New Hampshire]], [[Connecticut]] and [[New Jersey]] have endorsed the letter.;;;;04.1768;;
In May, a British warship, [[HMS_Romney_(1762)|HMS Romney]], armed with 50 cannon sails into Boston harbor after a call for help from custom commissioners who are constantly being harassed by Boston agitators. In June, a customs official is locked up in the cabin of ''Liberty'', a [[sloop]] owned by John Hancock. Imported wine is then unloaded illegally into Boston without payment of duties. Following this incident, customs officials seize Hancock's sloop. After threats of violence from Bostonians, the customs officials escape to an island off Boston, then request the intervention of British troops.;;;;05.1768;;
In July, the governor of Massachusetts dissolves the general court after the legislature defies his order to revoke Adams' circular letter. In August, in Boston and New York, merchants agree to boycott most British goods until the Townshend Acts are repealed. In September, at a town meeting in Boston, residents are urged to arm themselves. Later in September, British warships sail into Boston Harbor, then two regiments of British infantry land in Boston and set up permanent residence to keep order.;;;;07.1768;;
