1766,in August,violence breaks out in New York between British soldiers and Armed colonist, including sons of liberty members.
1765,Also in March, the Quarter Act reuires colonists to house British troops and supply them with food.
I think it unfair because British didn’t pay taxes for their safety.I also think it unfair because they got to do everything the British tell them do.
It is unfair that the colonies have to pay taxes because they were not the peoples that buy the stuff from england…
Yes taxes can be a big problem because people have to pay lots of money.Also because stores have to much taxes.
thy dump the tea in the ocean so thy don’t pay taxes .
Yes taxes can be high allot of the time it cost alot because the reason I guess that schools need more money.And also the gas for cars is way to high.
It is unfair because colonist have to pay taxes on what King George III buys.
I don’t think taxes are fair cause we have to pay extra money. Plus sometimes you don’t have enough money to pay everything. It’s kind of harsh for us to pay taxes every single time we buy something.so actually no I don’t think taxes are fair.
it is unfair that the colonist have to pay taxes because its expensive and its not there stuff that King George III bought…
I don’t think taxes are fair to other people have to follow the law.Taxes are not fair because they had to waste food or something else to pay taxes.It is kinda hard or them because they earn the money or something then they have pay it with the special thing they got.
I think it is not fair because we sometimes don’t have extra money to pay.

1.(1773) The Boston Tea Party was settled
2.(1775)The Revolutionary War began
3.(1775)The Declaration of Independence was signed
4.(1775)Paul Revere made his famous ride to lexington
Taxes are some what fair, because now the taxes are given to schools.But when the Boston Tea Party was going on ,taxes were not fair at all because they took takes off everything except on tea.
