Here's a summary of the events of 1775 from The Patriot Resource:

New England and Boston had become the center of the most radical behavior by colonists against Britain. Perhaps that was partly because the Commander-in-Chief of the British Army in America,Lt. General Thomas Gage was garrisoned inBoston. The area also relied heavily on both legal and illegal exports, which the British began to tax in order to raise money to pay for the expense of the French and Indian War finally ended. In succession, Parliament passed the Sugar Act, Currency Act,Quartering Act, Stamp Act, and Townshend Act. British soldiers occupied Boston in 1768 at the request of the Royal Governor Sir Francis Bernard. In 1770, the Boston Massacre took place. Things quieted down until 1773. Following the passage of theTea Act, the Boston Tea Party took place on December 16, 1773. Parliament reacted withIntolerable Acts or the Coercive Acts.
