All about the American Revolution:

Intro:

Have you ever gave a thought to what happened in the early ages, when we were not born? 

I admit, I’m talking about history, fights, battles, how people struggled to survive. In fact, let’s be more specific. Do you know what was the American Revolution? You might know that it included battles and the American revolution was a major event in history. That was how America was made. Honestly, America wasn’t even a country in the early ages,

It was just early settlers from England. The British would have helped America in the early ages, but there’s more to the story. If you want to know about what truly happened, and the reasons and motivations that pushed America to fight for their independence, what happened behind the scenes, then read this book. I promise you won’t regret it.

King George III of Britain. 

-Some stories upset people more than others. 

At the start, England was just a peaceful nation, united by the king of England. Kings and Queens, King there, done that. King George II, King George III’s father, was king of England before him. 

According to Victorian-era.org, King George II awoke early in the morning, got a cup of hot chocolate, and suddenly slumped down in his chair, dead instantly, from aortic dissection. King George III took over his father’s throne, born on June 4, 1738. At first, he was a very simple man, he ate turnips, also owned a garden.

King George III had no worries at all, and tried his best to make England look great. 

Until war came. 

The French and Indian war started, when Indians and the French battled with early England settlers. 

The England settlers needed help from their mother country. England came, as it was, but they lost several soldiers, and the war was a heavy tax. Parliament advised King George III to tax the colonists. He agreed.

The 1760 Horror Years, 

This is the start of the American revolution, when it began. As King George and Parliament acknowledged the start of taxes, and thought taxes as America’s debt to them in the French and Indian war. 

America disdained it, as it was seen as totally unfair to them. According to thought.co.com and historyfun.com, the sugar act was passed on 5, April, 1764. According to worldhistory.org and britannica.com, a high tax was placed on currently one of the colonial times favourite treat, molasses. 

Money went to King George. Molasses are just another name for sugar in colonial times. Colonists broke in riots, and started avoiding the tax, refusing to buy sugar. 

But King George sent more taxes.

According to the book, Liberty! pg 9, The Death-Head Stamp, Another act was passed to American colonists on March 22, 1765,The Stamp act. According to britannica.com and history.com the stamp act cost a tax on everything in the colonies that was made of paper. Playing cards, marriage documents, and certificates, they all cost a high tax. Colonists had no choice, but they wanted to marry, to play, even to read, they had to pay the tax.

As before, Colonists tried to avoid the tax, using certain methods. In the future, Parliament repealed the Stamp Act, Yet King George III was still not satisfied

Britannica.com says,The Townshend Acts were passed by Parliament on June 15, 1767. The Townshend acts placed a tax on tea, glass, paper and paint. It was fairly unpopular in Boston. According to worldhistory.org, The Townshend acts were placed to prevent potential rebellion in the colonies. Britain thought wrong, as colonists raised their methods.

More there were sent, 

Because in the Townshend acts, while colonists refused to buy those stuff, Britain thought they needed a way to get more money.

According to The Causes of the American Revolution & britannica.com, They passed a Tea Act, which Britain granted a monopoly to the East Indian Company.  

The last act was the Intolerable Acts, which was 4 taxes. According to Britannica.com, and worldhistory.com, The first one was the Boston port act, which shut down Boston harbour, causing a travel problem towards Boston’s and other countries. 

The second one was the governing act, which resulted in Boston losing the right to govern themselves, the AOJA act,(Administration of Justice Act),

Whenever the British soldiers tried to leave the military, they could suffer a capital crime, and the quartering act, where the British forced the colonists house British troops.

Those were terrible acts for terrible years, where colonists suffered at the hands of british. What would happen next? 

Bloody Massacre:

This is how the boston massacre is to be, whereas there are several versions of this and this. But how do you get the real one?You just need 5 sources that agree on the same things. 

King George III sends his troops to Boston. 

One snowy night, March 1770, Private Hugh White, a British sentry, is standing guard in a small place. According to The Split History of the American Revolution,he is arguing with a boy named Edward Garrick, and law2.umkc.edu confirmed that he is. White saw Edward Garrick arguing with a fellow man.

“There goes the boy that hasn’t paid my master for his haircut”!- Edward Garrick, historicaldigression.com. 

According to the same source, historicaldigression.com, Edward was lying but white couldn’t stop himself. He suddenly swings his musket towards Edward, and he falls dead. 

“There goes the boy that hasn’t paid my master for his haircut”!- Edward Garrick, historicaldigression.com. 

According to the same source, historicaldigression.com, Edward was lying but white couldn’t stop himself. He suddenly swings his musket towards Edward, and he falls dead. 

According to britannica.com, The causes of the American revolution, & worldhistory.org, a mob gathers, and words spreads quick.The mob turns into a crowd, and they start pelting the British sentry with snowballs, flaked with hard ice and oyster shells, of course, Private hugh white is flaked with pain, so he has no choice but to call for reinforcements

According to Law.umkc.edu, Thomas Preston comes towards Private Hugh White with 7 guards, but is surrounded by a mob armed with brickbats. Thomas Preston tries to assure them, but violence storms in the midst. A command, fire comes out of nowhere, and that is how it starts. 

According to britannica.com, 5 colonists died, including a former slave named Crispus Attucks. It is remembered as a major event in history.

Boycotting British Goods, 

As the American Revolution continues, the Americans continue to find ways to avoid paying taxes. They decide to boycott British goods, confirmed by those sources, britannica.com, history.central.com & mashist.org,. 

Let me explain, boycotting is when you refuse to buy a certain item from another country.

 When King George III raised taxes and added more acts, Americans thought it was very unfair to pay taxes to a king who tries to rule them over 300 miles away.

 Then Britain had no chance to get more money, in their thoughts. 

But boycotting won’t work for very long. 

The Demand of King George:

After Parliament & King George III heard of the famous Tea party in the world, The Boston Tea Party, They decided to punish the colonists severely. From nsecs.com, They placed 4 Acts, but their first one was the Boston port Act, whereas thousands of soldiers were sent to Boston to shut down Boston harbour, and guard Boston port. 

According to britannica.com, and worldhistory.org, there were more acts passed.

The next one was the AOJA Act, (Administration of Justice Act), resulting in Massachusetts losing the right to govern themselves.

 The Quartering Act, forcing colonists to share their homes with whichever soldier who asked them to take care of him. There was one more minor act called the Quebec Act, shutting down all land and trades in the middle of the Mississippi Rivers, giving all of it to Quebec. 

A Midnight Admire

The midnight ride is some time after King George’s Punishment. It is the story of a brave, young silversmith. The British had plans to seize military supplies in Boston, but word spread and Paul decided to spread more of the news. 

According to britannica.com, Paul Revere started to ride to concord on April, 16, 1775. He rode, and as he rode, He shouted with his voice, calling out, “The Regulars are coming”!
