2.Britain owed a large debt because of the French and Indian war; a keeping soldiers in colonies raised the debt even higher. So Britain tried to make the colonies pay for the war debt and to pay for colonial government.
4. The Colonists protested the Townshend acts by boycotting, and pressuring shopkeepers not to sell imported goods. The daughters of liberty also wove their own cloth and they resisted British control.
6.The committees of correspondence helped keep people informed by exchanging letters on colonial affairs, and they corresponded with one another and committees from other colonies. This helped people not forget the cause of liberty.
8. The midnight ride was when Paul Revere had rode as a spy and a messenger to let the colonists know that the British were coming.
10. The core idea of the Declaration of independence was based on the beliefs of the European philosopher John Locke. The philosophy that people had rights that the government could not take away.
Do you know that the most popular cookie kids leave for Santa is the Oreo? Maybe that’s because over 9.1 billion of them are sold each year. There is no exact date recorded but the idea of leaving cookies for Santa started sometime in the 1930’s. Naughty kids use them to bribe Santa at the last minute and nice kids use them as a way of thanking him for all his hard work on Christmas Eve.
