Learning About the American Revolution

Featured Blogger: Jessica
Today I am going to be teaching you about what we have been learning about in school.
Here are the subjects we were learning about on the American Revolution.  The Boston Tea Party, Tea Act, Battles at Lexington And Concord, Intolerable Acts, Sugar, Stamp, And Quartering Acts, Sons And Daughters Of Liberty, Townshend Act, and the Boston Massacre.  We have many groups and each group has 4 different people, and each person writes about one of those topics but there are different parts to it.  There is part 1, and part 2, we are on part 2 and we are done with the parts.  There are only 2 parts to the article and we are done with both, so we are done with the entire study of the articles.  

Now to get to some interesting facts about the Boston Massacre which I wrote about.  It started in 1770 and it was the Redcoats/British soldiers vs Patriots/Colonists.  The Colonists were angry that the British were in their country.  British were keeping watch over the Patriots.  The fight broke out in the Boston Common, 5 Colonists were killed, and I will also share some facts on The Boston Tea Party so let’s get started.  The Boston Tea Party started in 1773 the the Patriots were angry about the taxes on tea so they gave up drinking tea.  The Patriots got angry and threw tea off of ships in the middle of the night, they ended up throwing 342 boxes of tea off of the ships.  I hope you learned a few facts on The Boston Massacre, and The Boston Tea Party.
