About the American Revolution
Introduction
Did you know that little events made the American Revolution War start? If not then I'm about to tell you in these next paragraphs. I will start in from the earliest event.
Sugar act
All the sugar was going to expire so taxes went up a lot. Another reason is it was to save money so they can spend more money on the military. Colonists protested but it didn't work. Stealing went down around the city because of this. King Charles III got a lot more money because of The Sugar Act. This took place in 1733
Boston Massacre
The Boston Massacre happened because Patriots(Colonists) protested because the taxes were too high. So they threw stuff at British soldiers. The soldiers started shooting Patriots and Patriots died and many were wounded. The government sent out most of their army to make them back off. The British government got really mad. This happened in 1770
Boston Tea Party
A few years after the Boston Massacre the Boston Tea Party happened. The Sons Of Liberty dressed up like Native Americans and threw all of the tea over board and it was all lost in the ocean. All that tea costed a LOT of money. Now the government got super mad and started the war. They lost over 18 million cups of tea. This took place in 1773
Minutemen
The Minutemen went around the U.S to warn colonists that the British is marching out of Boston. So everyone knew so colonists got prepared for them. They got their name from being able to react in minutes. They road on horses as fast as they good. Paul Revere was known as a Minutemen. This happened in 1774 right after the Sugar Act and that started a War also The Boston Massacre and the Boston Tea Party.
Boston Tea Party
This what the Boston Tea Party looked like. As you can see the Sons Of Liberty looks just like Native Americans as they throw tea into the water. Also they are all working together to throw as much tea as possible to get it into the water.
Minutemen
This is the minutemen going to a house and warning the colonists to get ready for war. As you can see the colonists quickly react and get their weapons out. The minutemen even shows them where to go to fight.
Boston Massacre
The Patriots are trying to defend themselves with stuff that they found and are trying to kill the British. But if you look at the British there are many rows of British soldiers with guns and they are firing at the Patriots.
