Boston Tea Party
The Boston Tea Party was when the colonist were angry that King George III was putting unfair tax's on tea and other items. So when it was very late at night some colonists dressed up as Mohawk Indians and sneaked on the ships full of tea. When the colonist were on the ships they crushed the tea and threw the tea in the ocean. They were protesting the unfair tea tax King George III had done.
The Boston Massacre
The Boston Massacre was when the british soldiers where standing in the town. Every time they would stand there the colonist would call them names like lobsters because of their redcoats. Also they would push them really hard and even make them fall down sometimes. Finally the british soldiers couldn't take it anymore they took out their guns and started shoting the colonist and killing them because they were so angry. Also the first person to get killed was Crispus Atticucks.
The French and Indian War
The French and Indian War was when the French and the British were fighting over the Ohio Valley so the started a war for that piece of land. It was called The French and Indian War because more than half of the Indians teamed up with the French. At first the French were winning because the Indians taught them how to sneak up on the British. But then more and more British soldiers came that by the end of the war the French got out numbered and the British won the battle. So the British got the Ohio Valley and most of the French's land.
The Battle of Bunker Hill
The Battle of Bunker Hill was when the colonist and the British went into war because they were tired of Britan taking control of them. During the war the colonist learned to hide under earthworks and their generals told them don't shot until you see the whites of their eyes because they didn't have a lot of amo. At first the colonist were winning but lots of them ran out of amo and lots of British got around the earthworks. So in the end the British won the war but Britan suffered the most ingures because 1,800 of their soldiers were killed or wounded and only 350 of the colonist soldiers were killed or wounded. Also the battle of Bunker Hill was actually at Brees Hill not Bunker Hill.
The Declaration of Independence
The Declaration of Independence was our rights for our new country. The one who most of it was Thomas Jefferson. He was our 3rd president. Also do you know why John Hancock wrote his name first and wrote his name the biggest? Because he wanted King George III to see he was with America.
