The Pilgrim board the Mayflower to escape from their king in Britain who would not give them religious freedoms.
Maybe this new world will even give us resources
Let's board the Mayflower, children
The journey will be hard, but at least we will get to practice our own religion
Some settlers came looking for gold. Instead of finding what the were hoping for, they discovered riches in the soil
This land is rich and perfect for growing crops
We need to hire help if we want to keep up this business
This work is tiring
We must win the war!
The French and Indian War was a battle where France and the Native Americans were against Britain and its colonists.Outcome: Britain won
WE WILL WIN
We must ride into battle!
The Boston "Massacre" was actually just the killing of five people. A man named Paul Revere made an engraving which greatly exaggerated what actually happened. This was to convince loyalists (people who were loyal to Britain) to join the patriots (people who wanted to create their own country)
AHH WE'RE TOTALLY INNOCENT PEOPLE DYING
Trust me, guys, this is really what happened
KILL THEM ALL
The Colonists were angered by the taxes they had to pay. Ever since the British won the French and Indian War, the countries were in debt. IN order to pay off this debt, Britain started taxing the colonists on things such as paper goods, tea, glass, paint, alcohol, and other goods. The Colonists became sick of having to pay taxes without having a say in the British government, so they started protesting. The Boston Tea Party was an event where the colonists disguised themselves as Native Americans and dumped hundreds of pounds of tea into the ocean as a protest against the taxation on tea.
We don't want to have to drink just one kind of tea!
DUMP THE TEA!
We don't want to support the British government unless we have a say in Parliment!
You colonists are not allowed to use the Boston Harbor or have your own jury, but you must keep British soldiers in your homes and do all of these other things as a punishment for what you did.
