The Stamp Act, The Boston Massacre, the Intolerable Acts - all results of England's need to control the colonies and pay off war debts from the French and Indian War.  Do you think that if the King had apologized that maybe we would still be English Citizens instead of American Citizens???

A Loyalist or a Patriot

The American Revolution happened for a number of reasons and many people had very strong feelings about it one way or another.  The colonists that were against Independance were called Loyalists.  The colonisist that were for Independance were called Patriots.  This week we have looked at several people from each and learned about them.  Which would you have been if you lived during that time?  A Patriot or Loyalist?
