The Boston tea party

The Boston Tea Party

In 1773, the Boston Harbor was crowded with colonist. Ten-year-old Paul was one of them. He was there because his older brother, who belonged to the Son of Liberty, declared something really exciting was going to happen. He knew it had something to do with the tea on the ships. He was eager to find out.

      Paul thought about what his father had claimed. Colonist were furiously refusing to buy tea because England putting tax on it. They did not believe England had the right to tax them. The British coaxed England to take it back. But the Royal Governor of Boston , who was in charge,would not let the ship sail back to England. He said the Kings orders must be obeyed, and the tea must be unloaded by December 16. That was tonight.

Suddenly, the crowd began to stir. Then about one-hundred "Indians" cut through. They were carrying axes. Paul was appalled. As they passed Paul saw they weren't really Indians at all. They were the Sons of Liberty,who were dressed like Indians, had their faces were rubbed with soot and and painted with red and blue stripes. They finally reached the ship and started chopping open boxes because they didn't want to pay taxes. The crowd watched as smashed boxes fell into the ocean. The crowd began to cheer and chant "Rally Indians". The Sons of Liberty said " Bring your axes, Tell King George we'll pay no taxes. Paul knew King George would understand this message.

       

The Boston Massacre

The Boston Massacre 

It was a cold bleak day in a town on Kingstreet. John and Hugh, who were British soldiers, were standing guard on Kingstreet. They were anxious because they knew there were many colonist. They claimed the colonists were mean. The colonist were mad at King George because he had indignant laws and taxes. The soldiers had been harassing the colonists. They nervously watched the streets.

         It wasn't long before colonist came to provoke the soldiers. Hugh,who rushed over to help, got so angry he hit a colonist in the face with the butt of his gun. He let out a cry and an angry mob of colonists rushed over. Captain Prescott sent several soldiers over to maintain order, but this only made the mob more angry. They began throwing ice chunks, sticks, and clubs and they were viciously yelling "KILL THEM". 

          It got more and more perilous until a club hit a soldier. He responded by quickly firing his musket into the mob. Several soldiers panicked and started firing into the mob. Several colonists were  hit before the mob bolted away. Five of those hit were killed. More trouble was inevitably to come.

My memories

My Memories  

As I went through these pictures, I started to wish they would happen all over again. I remember the time when I went to church camp, all by myself for the first time. I also remember when I went  conuing with grandpa. I was not having a good day. I got three leeches. I also went to golf with my best friend Boston. We always hit our balls the  farthest.       

Dancing in the Breeze

            

The Dancing Tribe

 Their hair bounces in the breeze as their eyes spot the horizon. 

They sing with the tribe while their arms fly in the sky. 

While they wiggle to the dance, their feet thump to the beat. 

They rarely ever frown. 

They always remember to have fun, while they dream of hunting for deer and fishing in the clear, blue streams.  

They are Native Americans.

Salem Witch Trials

The Salem Executions

In 1692, the two girls, who became strangely ill, were Puritan girls. They shook and fell several times. They claimed that three women cast a spell on them. One was a slave named Tituba, who reluctantly yelled that there were other witches.  Eventually, she had to confess to seeing the devil and that there were other witches in the village. Because people were easily frightened, the girls accused the women of witchcraft. Twenty-four people were put to death for being witches. This was a sad time in America, but it helped change laws. Now people, who are accused of crimes, are presumed innocent until proven guilty. The Salem executions were the last accused witches that we know of.

Lightning flashed, thunder crashed, wind roared, and massive waves rocked the boat. The pilgrims stayed below in the gun deck. It was crowded and they were cold, wet, and scared.

John did not like being cooped up so he went to the upper deck. Without warning the ship rolled and John fell into the ocean. As he fell he grabbed a hanging rope. As he dangled over the ocean, he screamed for help. Luckily the sailors had seen what had happened. He was able grab a boat hook. Goodman John was relived and grateful to be on land. When he returned his friends were happy that he was safe. Then they knew that their journey to the new world would be a difficult one.   

Jamestown

Jamestown

In 1607, gentlemen sailed to the new world hoping to find riches. They found a town in Virginia and named it James town after king James. The land was a swampy wilderness. The lazy men did not want to work. Within a few months half the men had died. Powerfully John Smith, who was in control, made a wise rule: "who shall not work will not eat". They never found gold but they found tobacco. They sold it to England by the ton. Jamestown is now famous for being the first permanent English settlement.
