This map shows two comparative Eastern U.S. views of the British Troop Deployments in 1763 and also 1775.  Comparatively, as the imperial crisis deepened, British military priorities changed. In 1763, most British battalions were stationed in Canada (around the Great Lakes region and Quebec) to deter Indian uprisings and French Canadian revolts. After the Stamp Act riots of 1765, the British placed large garrisons in New York and Philadelphia. By 1775, eleven battalions of British regulars occupied Boston, the center of the Patriot movement. The key of the map shows five circle sizes going from small to large to show: a small detachment, a company, 2 to 3 companies, 4 to 5 companies, and a Battalion (350 men).
