America Vs. Great Britain

On Friday August 29, we finished watching "Making a Revolution." It was about how things happened and how they lead to the revolution. The colonists started getting mad at Great Britain because the Stamp act was created. In the stamp act they cut the colonists power and colonists were taxed from great Britain. The colonists got even more mad because they were being taxed with out being represented from anyone. Soon the stamp act was repealed and there was a bigger issue of who was in charge (Declaratory act). Then the Boston Massacre happened, you may think that may people died but actually only five people died. The Boston Massacre became a propaganda piece because it showed how the whole thing was planned and the colonists were innocent. Then there was a boycott against British Tea. 200 boxes of tea were dumped into the Sea. The British reaction to the Boston Tea party was that they passed the intolerable acts. The colonists saw the the Boston Tea Party as hero's because they had the courage to dump the tea in the sea. The revolution was seen as inevitable because they tried to propose that both sides stay together but they both rejected the proposal. Americans thought that they were different from the British.
