Black Napoleon was a freed black man who owned slaves as well as property. He led fellow slaves in Haiti to the threshold of independence.
The British King passed The Sugar Act in (1764), Stamp Act (1765), Quartering Act (1765), Tea Act (1773), and the Intolerable Acts.
The colonists responded with outrage. They boycotted anything that came from Britain, damaging the trade between Britain and America.
In response to the Tea Act (1773) there was the Boston Tea Party, which sparked the Intolerable Acts.
The Intolerable Acts were met with the colonies uniting even more so, and helping each-other out more than before. There were open protests, raids, etc.
Eventually, all of this lead to the Revolutionary War and the Declaration of Independence.
