Britain wanted to prevent anymore wars with the 

Native Americans by not allowing the colonists not 

to pass the Appalachian Mountains, but they 

ignored and went anyway. I would feel like I am a 

servant and Britain was my owner.

This happened on April 5, 1764.The colonists 

were forced to pay higher prices for the sugar 

then what they were paying. They had to pay 

six pence per gallon of sugar. One of the 

colonists had an idea to avoid paying these 

taxes so they don't pay at all. Britain's idea 

went downhill and they were losing money. I 

would have joined them and not buy anything 

from the foreigners.

The date of this event was March 22, 1765, the 

day the British Parliament decided to force all 

the colonists to have stamps on all printed 

material and forced to pay taxes for the 

stamps. This angered the colonists, they ended 

up denying the payment and were getting 

arrested for doing so. I wouldn't give Britain a 

single dime, in fact I would complain to King 

George.

This day took place on March 24, 1765, the 

colonists were forced to put British soldiers up 

in their houses.They were supposed to provide 

them with fuel, candles, beer, and 

transportation which angered them. If I was 

one of the colonists I would kick them out and 

tell them that just because Britain passes a law 

that doesn't mean New England has to follow 

it.

On June 29, 1767, the Priminister of New 

England helped the colonists with a plan that 

the British wouldn't notice that they aren't 

paying taxes. The colonists ended up starting a 

boycott over British goods. I would join in and 

would feel proud for standing up for what I 

believe in.

This happened on March 5, 1770, in the middle 

of the night, British troops were walking down 

the streets of Boston late at night and five 

young colonists were throwing snowballs at the 

soldiers and the they didn't hesitate and shot 

the five colonists in the face. After they were 

killed, the other colonists ran the troops out of 

town. I would have grabbed a gun and join in 

on the massacre.

In 1773, the colonists were forced to accept 

tea imports from Britain and pay the taxes. 

This angered them which ended up in the 

colonists dumping the tea in the Boston 

Harbor. Other British ships came in but the 

colonists sunk them. The colonists were done 

following Britain and their rules. Paul Revere 

was trying to warn them but he got caught and 

arrested. John Hancock and Samuel Adams 

warned them without getting caught. The 

people of Boston were cheering for the 

colonists at the harbor. I would have offered 

my help and dump as much tea as I could into 

the harbor.

A meeting was being held in Philadelphia, John 

Adams, Samuel Adams were attending. George 

Washington and John Henry also attended. 

They decided that imports and exports from 

England to Boston will stop and to any other 

colony. I would have gone and told them what 

my thoughts are about Britain taking control of 

our lives.
