Francis Roth the son of the owner of Dartmouth talked to the governor and told him not to bring the British tea, but the governor did it anyway.
ReplyDeleteThe day it happened was important, because it was right when everyone was most upset about the taxes, so it was a good time to protest. lots of different kinds of people disagreed with the taxes, and they worked together to do the tea party, which showed that they could work together for the revolution too. Francis Roth's father agreed with the British, but he didn't, which is important because lots of people were on different sides but mostly younger people wanted to be independent.
Three new facts that I’ve learnd are, woman that followed their husbands were called camp fallowers this is important because it shows that wives had to go to war with their husbands. Another fact that I learned that is new is that some woman fought in the war this is important because it shows that they were not afraid to fight. My last is that woman were forced to clean and raise a famliy this is important because it shows that they never got to do anything exciting.
ReplyDelete1. The Boston Tea Party is also important because of both the British and American responses to the actions that followed the tea party. The British were furious with the actions of the colonists and needed to impose a “punishment”? for their rebellion. This came in the form of the Intolerable Acts.
ReplyDelete2. Boston Tea Party Facts. The Boston Tea Party took place on December 16th, 1773. It was a protest by the American Colonists against the British in regards to the tea taxes that had been imposed on them. This protest involved throwing chests of tea from three British trade ships into the Boston Harbor. 3.

All camp followers were female. They went into the Revolutionary war because they wanted to prove they are worthy to the army. Also, they didn’t just work for the Americans they also worked for the British side too. The camp followers would to pull the injured men to shelter where they can get medical attention and heal them, also they to pick up a lot of weight in the war like the solders weight and the ammunition.
ReplyDeleteThe Declaratory Act gave the British government exclusive power to make any law and all laws governing the colonies. By 1767, the Townshend Revenue Acts made a new tax on imports like tea, paper, glass, lead and paints. The secret from the British was that the Sons of Liberty were in every colony ready to fight against the red coats.
ReplyDeleteI learned that over 5,000 people came to see the coming of the first tea the Dartmouth ship on November, 28, 1773. Then the sons of liberty decided the tea must be destroyed. It took three hours to finish the tea dumping. this is the Boston Tea Party song
ReplyDelete"Rally Mohawks!
Bring your axes!
Tell king George
well pay no taxes
on this foreign tea!"
Another three facts I have learned continuing from the last time we did this are:
ReplyDelete1.) The british had 7,200 British, American loyalists, German Hessians, and Native American warriors . This is important for the American revolution because it shows how large the British army is compared to the Continental army.
2.) By the time the British surrendered the Colonists had 15,000 troops at saratoga and they started out with 9,000 there. This is important because it shows that the Continental army was growing giving them a better chance to fight the British.
3.) The British had 6,600 troops by the time they surrendered and they started out with 7,200 troops at saratoga. This is important because it shows that the patriots can cause some good blows against the British.
My first fact is Prince Estabrook was asked to join the British troops in order to get his freedom. Prince Estabrook decided that he was not going to join the English army because he wanted to fight for America. He was able to receive his freedom after the war ended. This is important because he set a great example for all the slaves who wanted to be free. They didn’t have to join the redcoats to get their freedom. All they had to do was fight with America and then they would gain their freedom, that is why this fact is very important. Another factor during the battle of Lexington a tired American fighter Jonathan Harrington was walking by to his home but all of a sudden he was shot right in front of his son and wife. They were petrified because someone who they loved died in front of them. This must have been heartbreaking. This is important because this shows that not too many people came out from a battle not injured or alive. This proves how dangerous the revolutionary war was and how dangerous Lexington was for millions of people. It only lasted for 10 minutes, but it was a very scary battle because many people lost family members. Anyone that you loved could die in this war.My final fact is France joined America in 1778. This is important because we might have lost the revolutionary war if we didn’t have France fighting with us. If we had lost, we would still be under England’s control.
ReplyDeleteGeorge’s great grandfather John Washington moved from Sulgrave to America. George was the eldest of six children the parents names were Augustine and Marry ball Washington. On a trip to Barbados Washington got smallpox which left his face scarred. When George’s father died in 1743 George inherited a fairy farm and ten slaves.
ReplyDeleteMy three facts from the American Revolution.
ReplyDelete1. The American Revolution took place from 1765 to 1783. The Revolutionary war was from 1775-1783.
2. The American Revolution was between Great Britain and the 13 British colonies in North America.
3. The Boston Tea party was a protest by the Son’s of Liberty, in Boston. They were on ships and threw the chests of tea into the Boston Harbor. Paul Revere was one of the people who participated in the Boston Tea Party.
1. The Sugar Act was enacted on April 5th 1764 by the British. It was a tax on the colonists use of sugar. The British tax sugar because they wanted to get a much money as they could from the thirteen colonies.
ReplyDelete2. The Stamp Act went into effect on March 26 1765. This was a tax on paper. This event was important because it made many colonists start to think about revolting against British rule.
3. The Boston Tea Party happened on December 16 1773. During the Boston Tea Party colonists stole tea from a British ship and dumped the tea into the Boston harbor. This was important because it showed that the colonist were no longer going to put up with unfair British taxes.
The author’s message in the book Wonder, is to never judge some one on how they look. You should judge them on how they act. I know this because in the text, Summer said, “I don’t sit with him because I feel bad for him, I sit with him because he’s nice”. Also, it said, “Via never thought of Auggie as a kid with a face disordered.” She thought of him as her normal little brother which she cares about.
