- The Quebec act didn’t effect them too much because it was in Canada
- Disagreement on different taxes
- Sons of Liberty leader was Sam Adams they rebelled against the British
- The colonists wanted to be their own Country because they didn’t want to pay taxes
- They were really annoyed with their taxes, so they would try to keep making war and they would then just give more taxes
- Loyalists are different from British soldiers because loyalists live in the Colony but soldiers lives in England
- The second Continental Congress was held in Pennsylvania
- They felt scared at first in the war against British because they have never been their own colony before
- They treated British soldiers poorly because they did not like them so they threw snowballs, rocks and oyster shells
- They weren’t scared of the King because they did whatever they wanted but they were scared of getting hanged
- Thomas Jefferson was a really good writer because he knew seven different languages and he also had great handwriting, that’s why he wrote the declaration of independence
- The best part about not being owned by Great Britain is that they don’t have tons of soldiers policing them and they don’t have overpriced taxes
I got to talk to the 2nd Continental Congress about all the British acts and there lives in 1776.
They told me about how the acts effected their lives and how they didn't either. I learned a lot about where things happened in the wars, and how they happened or got started. I learned that they were really annoyed with the taxes and so they got mad but hey just got more and more taxes. I learned about why Thomas Jefferson wads the one to write the Declaration of Independence. And I also learned that Ben Franklin liked to invent because he was really into science and he was also inspired by it too. I learned why they were happy to not be owned by the British.
