“Benjamin Franklin Testifies Against the Stamp Act (1766)
Q. Do the Americans pay any considerable taxes among themselves? A. Certainly many, and very heavy taxes. Q. For what purposes are those taxes laid? A. For the support of the civil and military establishments of the country, and
to discharge the heavy debt contracted in the last [Seven Years'] war. . . . Q. Are not the colonies, from their circumstances, very able to pay the stamp
duty? A. In my opinion there is not gold and silver enough in the colonies to pay the
stamp duty for one year. Q. Do you think it right that America should be protected by this country and
pay no part of the expense? A. That is not the case. The colonies raised, clothed, and paid, during the last
war, near 25,000 men, and spent many millions. Q. Do not you think the people of America would submit to pay the stamp
duty, if it was moderated? A. No, never, unless compelled by force of arms. . . .

Boston Massacre Accounts
Essex Gazette (March 6, 1770)
Thomas Gage, commander in chief of all British North American Soldiers
“Thirty of forty persons…gathered in King-Street, Capt. Preston, with a party of men with charged bayonets, came from the main guard to the commissioners house, the soldiers pushing their bayonets, crying, Make Way! They took place by the custom-house….The colonists…threw snow balls. On this, the captain commanded them to fire, and more snow balls coming, he again said, damn you, fire, be the consequences what it will! One soldier fired…(and) the soldiers continued the fire…till 7 or 8, or as some say 11 guns were discharged.”
The mob proceeded…upon the Custom House…and attacked (the guard)….Captain Preston…hearing the (guard) was in danger of being murdered, he detached a sergeant and twelve men to relieve him…This party… was immediately attacked, come (colonists) throwing bricks, stones, pieces of ice and snow-balls at them, whilst others advanced up to their bayonets, and endeavored to close with them, to use their bludgeons and clubs; calling out to (the soldiers) to fire if they dared.
…(O)ne of the soldiers, receiving a violent blow, instantly fired…and the mob…attacked with greater violence…. The soldiers at length perceiving their lives in danger and hearing the word fire all round them, three or four of them fired on after another, and again three more in the same hurry and confusion.”

Salutary Neglect "That I know that the colonies in general owe
little or nothing to any care of ours, and that they are not squeezed into this happy form by the constraints of watchful and suspicious government, but that, through a wise and salutary neglect, a generous nature has been suffered to take her own way to perfection” Edmund Burke's "Speech for the Conciliation with
the Colonies" given in the House of Commons March 22, 1775
