What key events sharpened the divisions between britain and the colonists in the late 1760s and early 1770s?

Answer 1

There were several events sharpening the tensions between Americans and British. One of those, was the enactment of the Thowsend Acts, a series of regulations intended to control trade and tax the paper in the colonies; according to this regulation, all paper circulating in the colonies must have come from England, which was a way to control free press as well and certainly, it drove the revolutionary desires.
