= **** **A&K~** **~** = ** A: ** Why would we run again when we already ran away before. We should fight. We should fight because the British have disturbed our colony so much they have been doing unfair things to us. Like...

**K:** On April 5, 1764, They had to pay tax on molasses. So the English made a cheaper product than the French west indies. This hurt the British West Indies market in molasses and sugar. In the end, the sugar act reduced the taxes on molasses from 6 percent per gallon to 3 percent per gallon.

**A:** Look at what the British have done to this colony like the stamp act. Set in November, 1765 ,when all our newspaper, pamphlet, and other public and legal document had to have a Stamp, or British seal, on it. And of course the stamps cost money but before they came we didn't have to pay for that. We respond in force and created a diplomatic body called the Stamp Act Congress.


 * K: ** On March 5, 1770 a small group of colonists were up to their usual sport of tormenting British soldiers. Then the British officer called in additional soldiers, and these too were attacked, so the soldiers fired into the mob, killing 3 on the spot, and hurting 8 others, two of them died later.

**A:** American colonist were angry and frustrated because of the new tea tax law. The American colonist ,who called themselves the Sons of Liberty dressed up as Mohawk Native Americans and boarded three British ships. They dumped 342 whole crates of tea in the Boston harbor on December 16, 1773.

The British government, seeing our hostile reaction in the colonies repealed the Stamp Act in March 1776 but unfortunately passed the declaratory Act which said that Great Britain was the boss of us "in all cases what so ever" this gave us a target for our rage.

**K:** And this is why we should fight for our right.
