AMERICAN+REVOLUTION

homework 10/6

the english probably considered the AMERICAN revolution as a failure on there part. I mean if i lost a war to a small group of colonists i would be ashamed, then other countries will soon start to look down upon me. It must be even more aggravating seeing america has become a rich and successful country with out british rule.

the sugar act was a tax on sugar that came into the colonies. The british used the idea that they were protecting the colonies and they needed to be rewarded somehow. The colonists however did not belive they needed to pay such taxes, they worked for there money and wernt just gonna let the british take it. do now-10/14 a group of active and non active citizens or non citizens that live togather in a neighborhood who help eachother in there daily lives.

questions for activity one: 1. the rich where proabably more effected then the poor by the stamp act.

crisbus atkus fault becasue he provolked the britsh and casued the aiddental fire of montgomerys musket, which indecated the firing of everyone else. one image is more realisitc then the other, one shows british attcking the other is colonists attacking, one takes place in the morning and one at night

hw 11/3- we should ultimately blame sam adams because it was his idea to tell the drunk colonists about the house of the British official. The British where sensible in not shooting the foolish colonists. Crisbus attacus was also at fault, he saw that they where not fighting back but still provoked them, casueing the accidental boston massacre

sam adams had told the rope workers of the whereabouts of a british officals. they went to the house and started to asult the gaurds

do now 11/5- violence can always be justified becasue there will alwaysz be a victim and a criminal.

I was surprized that such a big war started over one shot that no one knows who fired. It also looked like the colonists ambush didnt do much to the british forces.

I would only fight against my own military if my family or friends were being threatened. Otherwise i would not even think about going up against one of the worlds strongest militaries. I think that those colonists boy who were forced to fight were also under the same conditions as i would be able to fight against such a powerful army.

i see- british soldiers shooting at some people it means- britsh soldiers shooting at colonist minutemen - in lexington green

-some where in a small town -some people are running away CCQ- i think the minute men where un prepared and under estimated the british army. Putting kids in the

army is a waste, because they cant fight and will wind up just getting in the way or dieing.

image 2

i see- hundreds of soldiers lined up it means- a city that the British captured for a temporary hold in the war - two soldiers looking at something - they were probably looking for enemy's

- they've occupied some city CCQ- the British were always one step ahead of the colonists, looking for enemies constantly. I still dont know why they didnt win the war...i mean they did win against the world

image 3

i see- some red soldiers in lines it means- the british where walking across a bridge where the colonists took advantage of the flanking - they are crossing the bridge tactics - then blue soldiers come - looks like the only weakness in there positions

CCQ- this victory probably brought hope to the colonists..i mean if they can win one they should be able to win them all. the british at this point were probably shocked they were defeated.

image 4

i see- some guys are burning down the city it means- some battle between the british and the colonists - the british have burned down some town - the men at the bottom - colonist on bottom of the hill fighting back CQQ- this again shows the british army's might....being able to take a whole town under thier control in a matter of minutes. they drove the colonits down to the hill...so that shows something

glogster evidence:

thw townshend acts- begining point -angered colonits becasue it was a responce to the termination of the stamp acts which the co lonits also hated. - the boston massacre - what happens when colonits act stupid. this lead to the colonits going to the house at night where they casue a massacre of 5 people. now that there was some confusinion between the brits and colonies there was noe going back on the start of the amedrican revoloution.
