Hi my name is Angel and I'm going to tell you about what we learned about the 13 colonies in 3Sp. We learned that people came to the new world because they were not happy in England. They could have been doing something else with their lives. People traveled to worship others. They came from other lands. The trip was often long and dangerous. It could take two months or longer. Storms often pounded the small ships. Sometimes there wasn't enough food on the ship. Many people got sick and died.
In the 1700s, there were almost two million colonies. A lot of families came from Britain. King George lll taxed the colonists on tea, paper, glass, lead, and paint. The colonists were angry and started rebelling. Then the British made more and more taxes and made the colonists more and more angry. Then, they rebelled more and more! After that, the British got rid of all the taxes except the tea tax. But the colonists were still upset because they thought it was unfair. They wanted freedom instead of being controlled by England. I don’t want to spoil the rest for you so you should read books about it so you can learn about it!
The End!
