Hi, Im Toby! Today we're taking a trip back into the past to discover what really happened...
Welcome to the past... Right now we're landing in Colonial America.
Im glad we're heading back home. Its been a wild ride...
WE'VE GONE TOO FAR!
Thats an odd looking dinosaur
Portugal is with us!
We finally made it to 1762! This is the seven year war. Britain and France are fighting, and the debt from this war increased taxes for colonists resulting in a whole bunch of problems.
Spain will help us destroy you all!
The English imposed The Stamp Act on the Colonist, charging money for everyday activities. For example the colonists has to pay a tax on every piece of printed paper they used. Playing cards, newspapers, and other publications were all taxed.
We are in Boston, and situations are getting heated with an imposition of a stamp tax.
Lets go to the scene.
We are mourning the death of our liberty.
There were riots and mock funerals all protesting the tax. As you can see they were a bit dramatic.
WE'VE GONE TOO FAR!
Well we made it out of the future alive and are heading home. What a fun trip, I hope you had fun and learned a lot about the decolonization of English North America!
