Hello Everyone! I am here to talk about what we have learned about the Amercan Revolution in class. First some British citizens sailed to America for religous and other freedoms. They then started 13 Colonies some Colonies were Virgina, New Hampshire, Massachusetts and the Carolinas. Then in 1754 the French And Indian War started, this war cost The British a lot of money to pay the cost of war. The when the war ended in 1763 the damage was amazing the British gained new land for the colonists, but then the British decided to kick the Americans out of some of the new lands fro the Indians who helped fight for the British, this angered the colonists but they still were ok with it. Then Brithish Parliment decided to make the Colonists pay for the war that was fought to protcect them, the called tis law the Sugar Act because the colonists had to pay an extra price on goods like sugar and other things. Then then thee was the Stamp Act which ment all items printed on paper had to have a special stamp on it, this law made the colonists furious! But then the Britis parliment took away all taxes except the tax on tea! The colonists refused to pay the tax and instead bought Dutch tea instead but the the British stopped the Dutch trade in to the colonists. Then all these events led up to the Boston Tea Party...
Sincerely,
Eragon
