Austin Washington 10/2/09 Fire Intolerable acts essay

Hi I am Austin and I think the intolerable acts were wrong. I think these acts were wrong because the British should not have gone so far to punish people that did nothing. Some of the acts were as followed. The quartering act which gave the British solders the right to stay in any home the pleased for the duration of there troop in that town which made the colonist angry. Another act was the town shed act which let the British control the colonist government so that got them even angrier. Then there is the Boston port act which closed the port of Boston down till the colonist could raise the money to pay for the tea they dumped in the harbor. My first reason is the quartering act. The lobster back (blood backs, red coats, Brits). After the Boston tea party the British made a law saying the troops could use any house they chose to quarter them for how ever long they want and the colonist could do about it. Those blood backs could also take whatever they wanted to take the colonist were totally tick off (not what I wanted to say). So how would you feel if some one came into your house and said that they were going to stay there for a while? I would be like no way in heck would I let you stay in my house but I would not be able to do anything about it. That is how the patriots\ colonists feel about it. Now about the town shed act that is where the patriots had the right to govern themselves take away by the Brits. My take on this subject is that the red coats had o right to take the one thing the colonist left England for. This angered the colonist very much. The reason that they left the country of England was because thy didn’t have freedom of religion, freedom of speech and freedom of politics so the British were just being unreason able. This is how I would feel if some one gave my something and said I am take it back. I would be totally insanely and completely angered by it I would defiantly go to war for something like this. Yes some of you are probably saying the colonist had this coming to them. Well you no Americans let me point this out. If you were where they were ho would you be feeling. Getting your only supply of food and cloths closed down, or having the one thing you came to the continent for taken away. There I think made some good points you people who think we had this coming I say you if you were in there time would be labeled loyalist if you don’t believe in this war now. So now that you know this you should be on our side because what the British did to us was overkill. Thank you. So now that you’ve read this you should know that the British being unreasonable. They let their soldiers in our houses and let them steal from us. They took our one mean of food and goods like that away from us. The Brits even took our governing power away .Those are my reasons as to why I think the intolerable acts where wrong. We went to this country to govern our selves not to still be ruled by Britain so we made the choice to separate from them. Thank you for taking the time to read this essay now I bid you a due.
