Pre-Revolutionary War

In my first class today I leaned a bit on The Boston Massacre, the Boston Tea party, the First Continental Congress, and the start of the American Revolution. The Boston Masacre was caused due to the rivaling opinions on the Townshend Acts. Five men were killed in the process and most Townshend Acts were repealed.  Tea was still taxed and that led to the Boston Tea Party. Colonists dressed as Native men threw tea crates over board in revolt. The first continental congress met up a while later in Philadelphia in order to make their first declaration of rights. The American revolution had two sides, the colonists, and the British. Out of the colonists, there were patriots, loyalists, and neutralists. The loyalists supported the British, the patriots rebelled against the British, and the neutralists were not picking a side. We left off as the British were on their way to Concord in order to attack and seize the weapon and ammo cache of the colonists.
