George Grenville was the British Prime Minister from 1763-1765. After the extremely costly Seven Years' War, he ordered the Navy to enforce the unpopular Navigation Laws. Then, in 1764, Grenville got Parliament to pass the Sugar Act, which increased duties on sugar imported from the West Indies. Also, in 1765, he brought the Quartering Act into play. This had forced colonists to provide food and shelter for the British soldiers. Many colonists, though, believed them only there for the purpose of keeping them in line. This, of course, just put more fuel on the fire of wanting and needing independence.

1619: The House of Burgesses was created in this year, which set the precedent of direct representation in government. This model was followed throughout all of the rest of the colonies subsequently. Throughout the 1760?s and 1770?s, the constant imposition of power by the king was so angering to the colonists because they were so used to having their say in government. ?Finally, after the ?Day of Fasting and Prayer,? the House was dissolved by Parliament, and with it, any hope of reconciliation with Britain.
