Once upon a time there was a cruel,
evil, and unfair king. His name was King
George III. He was ruler of Great Britain
and he ruled colonies across the Atlantic
Ocean too. He treated the colonies very
unfairly and he passed many unfair acts.

The king passed the Quartering
act in 1765. This act forced colonist to
house British troops.The colonist
also had to provide the British
troops with food and other supplies.

The cruel King also passed the
Stamp Act in 1765. This required
colonist to buy special tax stamps
for all kinds of products. Newspapers,
wills, and land titles were some
products that required the special
stamp.

The Boston Massacre occurred on March
5, 1770. Tension between The Colonist
and The Red Coats peaked and fighting
broke out. Colonist threw rocks, oyster
shells, and pieces of wood at soldiers. The
Red Coats fired into the crowd and killed
five colonist. Only two soldiers were
found guilty of manslaughter. After this
the colonist's hatred towards the British
grew.

The evil King also passed the Tea
Act in 1773. This allowed the East India
Company to sell tea directly to the
colonies. This affected colonial
merchants because people stopped
buying tea off them.

The tea act caused the Boston Tea Party
on December 16, 1773. This was the colonist
way of protesting the Tea Act. The sons of
liberty dressed up as natives, went aboard
ships, and threw 342 cases of tea into Boston
Harbor. This was a very significant event
because it showed the British that the Colonist
were willing to fight for what they thought
was right.

The Declaration of Independence was
a document written by Thomas
Jefferson. It was written in July 1776.
The Declaration of Independence was
the colonies way of announcing their
freedom from Great Britain. This
affected both the colonies and the
British.
