Lesson Overview Tensions grew between Britain and America after Britain passed a series of increasingly restrictive laws in the colonies. Colonists responded by protesting the acts openly and taunting British soldiers. News of British injustices spread rapidly throughout all of the colonies. A meeting of the First Continental Congress serves to unite the colonist against British control and prepare for conflict. This conflict erupted at the Battles of Lexington and Concord, signaling the start of the Revolutionary War.

Cartoon-The able doctor or America swallowing the bitter draught

Revolutionary War-era political cartoon published in the London Magazine, entitled "The able doctor; or America swallowing the bitter draught." Depicts Lord North, with the "Boston Port Bill" extending from a pocket, forcing tea (the Intolerable Acts) down the throat of a partially draped Native female figure representing "America," whose arms are restrained by Lord Mansfield, while Lord Sandwich, a notorious womanizer, restrains her feet and peeks up her skirt. Britannia, standing behind "America", turns away and shields her face with her left hand. Image published: 1774.
