Today in History we read about Revolutionary America. The events we read about were the Stamp, Sugar, and Quartering Acts, the Boston Massacre, the Borton Tea Party, the Intolerable acts, the first Continental Congress, and the Shot Heard Round the World. After reading about all these events, each group was given just one event to study. The event my group received was the Intolerable Acts. These acts were a result to the Boston Tea Party. Boston Harbor was closed until the destroyed tea could be payed for and Massachusettes was put under the control of a military governor. Intolerable acts were a way to punish Massachusettes for the Boston Tea Party, but also helped unite it.
Reading Worskshop!
The way the people of Massachusettes were punished for the Boston Tea Party reminded me of how in the book Harry Potter, Harry and his friends are punished for rebelling against the headmaster Dolores Umbridge. Just like the Boston Tea Party, Harry and his friends were sneaking out and disobeying the school rules by creatig an army called Dumbledores Army. This is like The Boston Tea Party because they were standing up for what they beleived in by breaking the laws and then were punished in the end when they were caught.
