Summary

• In this chapter you have read about some of the
  events, from 1754 to 1774, that created tension
  between GB and the colonists. You used the
  metaphor of a parent and a child to describe the
  relationship.
• The British behaved like concerned parents who
  protected their children. GB thought the
  colonies should be grateful and respect the
  British authority. But, like growing children,
  the colonies wanted to have a greater role in
  making their own decisions. They did not like
  GBs efforts to control them. When GB ignored
  their complaints, the colonists protested,
  sometimes violently. By 1775, both sides were
  angry.
