Event Summary

Royal Proclamation
The colonists wanted to move West into the indians land which made them pretty pissed. Since the Indians tremedously outnumbered the colonists they made the Royal Proclamation so the English were not able to go past the Apps.

Stamp Act
A tax was put on stamps so that the colonists could help England pay for the troops. Commercial docs, newpapers, and more were taxed. This was taxation without representation so everyone was pissed about that too.

Boston Massacre
The colonies were desperate for their own rights so Samuel Adams organized a boycott. Many soldiers got taunted untill it escaleted and people started shooting on State St where the State T stop is now.

Boston Tea Party
They were throwing boxes of tea off a boat because of the taxes on it dressed as mohawk indians. Its costed over 50,000 pounds of tea.

Intolerable acts
Britain wanted the colonies for all the uproar they have caused. Boston then got a lot of support from the colonies across New England. They decided to call for contentil congresss.

First Contentil Congress
There was 55 delagets from 5 states to discuss the colonies hate for Britain. The reconcial act with Britain did not pass so the colonists started training in combat incase Britain decided to attack.

I believe that the moment the revolution was inevitable was when they moved the colonists to America. If you let someone move away they aren’t going to want to listen to you anymore but have their independence. There was no way to take control after they stepped off the boat.

I thought this project was somewhat of a success. I was hoping I would learn more from the other groups and even though the common conception of teenagers is they all have ipods and computors and can look at a computor screen and now how to make it look diffrent. I don't, I listen to records and use film cameras. I don't own a Ipod so for me it was disapointing.
