event summary

Royal proclamation : the proclamation the king passed in the 1700s. this proclamation was made to stop the colonists movement west of the appalachians. the english colonies didn’t care and continued to expand west. 
The stamp act : the british needed money to pay off debt so they raised taxes and and put taxes on many more items. the colonist didn’t like this “who would” so they stopped buying the goods from the british 
Boston massacre : the british were really annoying the british so the colonists protested.  in 1768 the protesters through snowballs at british officials when the british got angry they fired back and killed (well i herd 11 in this group but then 5 from another so im not really sure how many ahaha) .
Boston tea party : angry bostonians went aboard a british trading ship this boat contained british tea the men through the tea into the harbor all of the men were never caught because they dressed up as native americans.
intolerable acts : when parlement herd about the tea party they were wicked mad and cracked down on rules . they even shut down boston harbor the same harbor used in the boston tea party. then paul revere took off to go get people to fight cause very one knew something was going down. 
First continental congress : was like a group therapy session in which they talked about the influence of the british parliment on the british colonies. they also dealt with the affects of the intolerable act.  this was were ideas of independence were tossed around 
I though the project was kinda unsuccessful . only because we spend so much time learning about our event that didnt get as much out of the other events as we did ours. also people talk really fast can we pleas slow it down next time that would make it like that much better
