=The American Revolution ♥ =

Would you make the men fight? Is it worth risking their lives? what would you have done?

i would have not let the colonists fight because i think they already proved their point and everyone knew what their views on things already. They had also already fought enough. They took part in the French Indian War in 1745 - 1763. There was the sugar act in 1764. This is when the colonists first discussed how they felt about how they were getting taxed too much. The Stamp Act took place in 1765. On May.29.1765 Patrick Henry read his speach on what he thought about the stamp act. His famouse remarks were "give me liberty or give me death." He definitley made his opinion very clear. Then there was the Stamp Act Congress which took place on October.7.1765- October.25.1765. The Townshed Acts took place in 1767. The colonists were very upset by this time they refused to pay any of the taxes on glass,lead,paints,and paper. the only taxes they would pay were on tea. The day of March.5.1770 the boston masacure took place. This was were 5 colonists got shot by the british troups. One african-american man by the name of Crispus Attacks was also shot and killed. December.16.1773 was the boston teaparty. This was when the colonists dressed up as indians and dumped 342 whole crates of british tea into the boston harbor. There was the first constituional congress that took place in Septemeber of 1774. 56 delagates and 12 colonists met in philadelphia. They came together to act in responce to the intolerable acts. they met secreatly because they didnt want Britian to know that this was taking place. as you can see they already took part in alot of events. i think they proved their point and britsh knew how they felt. so i wouldnt have made them fight.
