  1. Boston Massacre, Three years later Three years into our strive for freedom… The street fight which broke out on the 5th of March 1770, near the Customs house, heavily guarded by the red coats. Several patriots and colonies died to fight for the freedom of our country. Mourning their losses, we began the trials of this event, late r that year. Recorded deaths sum up to 5 (recorded), 3 died by the hands of the red coats while 2 others slowly passed away due to the fight that occurred throughout the streets of Boston. The fights erupted because we had had enough of taxes, enough of their rule and last but not least, enough of their tea. Americans were willing to give their life for this cause. Three years on, we are still fighting. Our spirits ignited by the will of fire of all Americans and Colonists combined. We are one, We shall fight, not only for our rights but our land as well. BOSTON TEA PARTY! December 16th 1773 British ships assaulted in Boston Harbor in the evening, Patriots and colonists in rage, paying taxes for British tea. Hundreds of tea boxes dumped into the ocean. Freedom is nigh. We have taken power. The revolution is sparking. Dressed in native Indian clothes, Americans boarded the harbored ship and began disposing the tea into the near by water body. No causalities or injuries have been recorded as of yet. More information is yet to be revealed about British retaliation process of this event. Check analysis, page 2

  2. Opinions & Views George Washington’s view on Tea party Commander in chief in our war for freedom, George Washington is not fond of the event s during the tea movement, he condemns this as an act of un-civilized fighting, claiming that these acts will sever the bonds between East Indian tea firms and America. The public are not fighting back to George Washington as of yet. We have interviewed commander in chief, and he has mentioned that he does not want to protest in a violent manner, he does not want foreign property to be destroyed in the process of getting freedom. Patriots have not yet replied to this. TEA PARTY CONDEMNED? Many along with our commander in chief of the Continental army, have spoken about their views on the Boston tea movement, earlier today. Mentioning the uncivilized ravage of international property by American hands. “this was not by any means a peaceful protest, they destroyed east Indian property because of British causes, thousands of dollars in revenue have been lost along with our bonds with Eastern Indian tea firms” rages a citizen by the harbor during the assault. Members who took part in the event yet remain in secrecy. Analysis below: GEORGE WASHINGTON! Famous revolutionary, born 22nd of February 1732, now commander in chief, leading the American native army to fight the red forces. Leading the revolution to freedom, George Washington has done his up most to help us gain freedom, gain our rights and gain back what was natively ours. May his will be strong, and support ours throughout rough times.

  3. King George Townshend act hasn’t ended… King George, king of the red coats. In charge of the in justice taking place in America. Our main target throughout this fight, born 4th June 1738. The act that began this all. The reason why we still fight. All leading to the deaths of thousands. The Townshend act which took place in June 1767, Charles Townshend promoted the taxing of American colonists, while King George approved. The announcement was made, because the red forces were broke from previous wars, they thought that they would use our money and use it against us. We have had enough of this. Enough of the reds, enough of your taxes, after a decade, this is still going on, taxes on oil, butter, sugar, tea and especially metals and resources, things that you import are being taxed by our money. We will get freedom. We will be an independent nation, to strive amongst one of the best, with rights to speech, to property and most importantly to taxes. Charles Townshend Charles Townshend, promoted and created the Townshend act, used for taxing colonists for British purposes.

  4. Boston Non-Importation Agreement Three years ago, August 1st 1768, Revolutionaries sign petition to stop all imports and exports from England. Colonists did not want the red coats to benefit from American property. Merchants and traders now have power over what is exported and imported through and to American property. This movement conducted by colonists, merchants and the sons of liberty was signed through a declaration script, the script is located next to this text: Five years on, this declaration is yet active in many parts of America, Colonists and patriots are working hard to maintain this rule, further restricting British imports through the property of the Americas. Freedom is nigh, we have almost won this war. Through international aid and the will of the Americans, we can surely win this war for freedom and independence.
