Boston Tea Party!

What did you learn about life during the revolutionary era from reading this document?
- What surprised you the most about what you read?

I learned that it wasn't easy back then to pay taxes, but they still had to be paid someway or another. They could've have gave them another week or so to pay the tax for the tea instead of just wasting it and being low down. Throwing the tea overboard was not tolerable and even though they were doing that some still managed to stuff some in there pockets, though some got caught and were sent to jail.

What surprised me was that when some stuff some tea into their pockets they were sent to jail, it shouldn't have mattered they were wasting it anyways, least it was gone be put to use. And another was well something i didn't understand is why did they dress up as Mohawk Indians; what was the purpose? Something that was low down and surprising was after days/a day passed they really didn't want people to get any of the visible tea floating on top of the water so some men got into little boats and started beating it with oars and paddles.

|American - Revolution|

Did the colonists have their own natural rights? Somewhat, the colonists had rights that they approved of but then again there were some they really didn’t want to follow at all.
The actions that the colonists took to make their own government that would uphold their rights were going to parliament, either war, or protesting/boycotting. The colonists were kind of justified as breaking the law because when there were rights they didn’t obey like paying taxes/paying tax for tea etc. This soon became known as the Boston Tea Party. So, no there were rights they liked and some they didn’t obey of.
When since the American Revolution have Americans broken the law because they felt their rights were not upheld by the U.S. government? The 20th century, mainly blacks Americans. The actions that took place were for example not sitting where supposed to be sat, protesting, and boycotting. They were going to make sure that it is noticeable and that it gets attention.
Yes, the groups of Americans were justified in breaking the law, because they disobeyed what was supposed to be done and followed. They served their time and still continued to fight for what was best in the 20th century/American Revolution.

In the end, everyone felt they had to do what was needed in the world, and what was best even though their doing was wrong because they disobeyed and followed their instincts. But now mostly all is right!
