What events helped move Patriot leaders from a desire for peace to a desire for independence

Sagot :

King George kept taxing the colonists. They were sick of paying extra for stuff King George knew that they couldn't make for themselves (Glass, Paint, ect.). The Boston Massacre. The British troops killed 5 colonists, even though the colonists were the ones starting the fight, British Troops were still "The Bad Guys".  The Intolerable Acts. King George made colonists house soldiers, extended the Canadian Borders to cut Virginia, Massachusetts, and Connecticut . 
Stamp Act. Requiring colonists to pay a tax on any printed item.
