2.  Once upon a time in 1763 there was a king .
The people of his town were happy because
he wasn’t involved in their problems they were
called the colonists. America made their own
choices, also the British wasn’t allowed !!. They
had a war between French & British because
they had struggles but the British won but the
king didn’t know he was across the ocean.

3.  The next day the met five stars such as Plato also John Locke ,
Baron and jean . They told how they felt such as how Plato believes
in equality and how a king should be useful teaching them that a king
should be fair. While Locke said he doesn't believe god chose them to
be kings or as a democracy made them think about freedom. Baron
believed in limited power in a monarchy governt power should be
limited. In many ways jean taught them about direct democracy so
they learn how to make their own choices .

4.  Later everything changed the king became mean on the
colonists by raising money. Then the French and Indian war
left the parliament with a lot of (debt) money to pay . The
people of his town had to pay for basic things they need.
Also people was appointed by the parliament to pay
money. in many ways the people had no say on King
George decision at all. Some didn’t pay at all by
protesting. Some had to pay to the parliament. Some

5. Everything started to change after the Proclamation of 1763 . Soon the
colonists weren't allowed to buy land west of the Appalachian
mountains. Basically colonist s couldn’t travel to land already bought
by them. the Quartering act had the colonists let British soldiers stay in
their houses. It really upset the colonists mainly because the soldiers
had to stay with them even though there was no war going on.
Eventually the Townshend act was making them pay for natural
resource such as lead , paint.

6.  The next day the Boston Massacre began. It was A huge argument between
the colonists vs. the British. Then they had a fight when 5 colonists died.
Colonists became angry about the Townshend acts that made them pay for
natural resources so they disguised themselves as natives dumped 342
crates of Boston tea into the Boston harbor. Also tea was boycotted through
the colonies. Then the king became upset the colonists because they began
to revolt soon he enforced new laws called the Intolerable acts. he banned
colonists from having town meetings. Also they closed the port of Boston until
all tea was recovered. So it made the colonists upset it didn’t allowed them
to plan any form of rebellion, basically a boiling point for the colonists.

7. They had a meeting with the 12 colonies (states)thought as
themselves as British also some were patriots or thought of
themselves as British. United for liberty hatred of
tyranny(has too much power) had formed militias of ordinary
people Because the colonists (people) were upset because the
king didn’t really recognize their rights. Both sides opened
fire Americans forced to withdraw. Americans were waiting
for them in force British forced to retreat harassed by militia
men along the way. Mainly fighting with the British to gain

8. America can be
successful without the
king or Britain. Also
that Britain is being
selfish protecting
themselves than the
colonists. They should
be ashamed That they
killed their own kind.
There is no reason to
settle with Britain no
advantages. Big
country should not be
ruled by a small
country.

9.  Then they had a meeting to
discuss their independence.
Also the declaration of
independence1776 they
stated how the colonists
should have liberty. So when
their is a group who tries to
break away from their own
country ,explain why they are
doing it. So it basically talks
the basic rights that are
obvious everyone should
have. So Thomas Jefferson
wrote this document. Ben
Franklin is one of the. members
drafted to the declaration of
independence . John
Hancock first to sign .

10.  The war has finished yet but
then this happened such
as the event of Battle of
bunker hill Americans had
retreated and suffered
losses defending breed hill
in Charlestown. Colonists
convinced France to join
their side. George
Washington, harsh short on
food for the colonists and
met some friends. Also the
that British made America
surrender. Last battle when
America defeated the
British by making them
surrender.

11. In many ways the war help
the colonists fight for
they wanted instead of
being stepped on by the
British. They actually
gained their liberty and
freedom to be their own
country And became
united and it was
because of one person
called George
Washington. Happily
ever after never let
obstacles get in your
way.
