Good evening everyone,

Please find your homework below....



Please find your homework below.

History - Many of you have not submitted your Acadian Argument Assignment.  This is late.  Please submit immediately.

History - Please complete the question page we worked on in class.  As we discussed in class, you were given enough time to determine the info you needed to answer them, so now you just need to go and complete your thoughts.  If you are confused or have any questions, please let me know.  However, please feel free to use the following notes on the American Revolution to help you answer those questions... (Due tomorrow)

• In order to pay for the colonies to be defended, Britain started putting in place taxes on the 13 colonies. One tax called the Stamp Act in 1765 required colonists to pay a tax for every piece of printed paper. This caused the colonists to boycott British goods and then that caused the act to be taken away and cancelled in 1766.  Another tax involved taxation on imported goods. One of the most famous conflicts was the Boston Tea Party. This was when they started taxing tea coming into the 13 colonies from Britain. It caused people to get on board and protest by dumping a bunch of the tea into the Boston Harbor. The colonists did not believe that they should be taxed when they had no representation in the government, therefore their plea was no taxation without representation. In general, the colonists were getting really upset and angry and so in 1775 the 13 colonies started to plan to revolt. They held a Continental Congress, and invited Quebec and Nova Scotia to join them. But Quebec and Nova Scotia did not want to get involved because they felt like they were being treated somewhat fairly.
• Eventually the 13 colonies started to become divided. Loyalists were those who had strong ties to Britain and want to support British ways. Patriots, we're the ones who supported the revolt against the British government. Loyalists in the 13 colonies moved North up to Quebec and Nova Scotia. This was difficult for them because often times they had to leave many of their possessions as well as family and friends. Some First Nation groups such as a head in the Haudenosaunee allies also moved out of 13 colonies. The Haudenosaunee settled in the Grand River Valley.

Have a great evening,

Mr. Carr
