Reflection
I learned that people liked tea but when the tea act happened England made the tea tax so the tea would be more expensive so people that like and drank tea were mad because they couldn't buy tea, only the rich people would buy tea. Thomas Jefferson wrote the declaration of independence because he could write, and talk in 7 different languages. Even though Thomas Jefferson wrote the declaration of independence he was not good speaking in front of large groups of people. James Odos was the person that said no taxation without representation. People were very upset with the Boston massacre because they felt betrate when they were trying to be free and get the soldiers out of their country.
