I think the Stamp Act is a direct tax because it's on specific item and it is payed to the British Government to help pay for the cost of the war.

__**How does it seem the colonists felt about the Stamp Act?**__ __**How do you think they might react to the imposition of this law? 10/22/2010**__ Colonist seemed angry about the Stamp Act and opposed it greatly. I think they might riot and get angry and try to do something about it.

__**Did you agree or disagree with the judge's verdict in the court? 11/2/2010**__ You know I think I do because the colonist started it by throwing ice at the boy. It wasn't his fault that he tried to seek help but the colonist only made it worse by taunting the British soldiers them and worst of all the musket went off involuntarily.

__**Summarize the Townshend Acts and how the colonist responded 11/3/2010**__ The Townshend act was a tax that the British placed on the colonist for tea,glass paper and lead. The colonist were furious and decided to boycott the goods that the British had placed the taxes on and instead made their own.

__**The difference between the 2 photos 11/2/2010**__ The difference between the two pictures is that the first one portrays the British as the bad people while the second one is actually what really happened at the Boston Massacre because it wasn't just the British its was the colonist too.

__**How did they find the British soldiers ?11/3/2010**__ I think that they found him guilty cause they hated the British soldiers and wanted them gone. __**Do Now 11/4/2010**__ Isn't like way a society or country functions they set rules and keep chaos from erupting.They take issues and try to solve them and they listen to people that they represent.

 * Single party state-** one person has power and no one can have a say or go against them.

The one that is the best is representative democracy and the worst is single party state.

11/17/2010 The colonists wanted to die putting up with a fight they were gonna lose either why so why not do it while fighting

__**Notes on April Morning 11/17/10**__
 * The British soldiers were allowed to go through belongings
 * They confiscated shots and gunpowder then beat a man discussing it in a town meeting
 * Paul Revere is waking the people of Lexington and are calling of the training men of the militia and going off to war
 * Drum beat that calling all soldier off to battle more and more coming out to be on the Lexington green drum is signal
 * Preparing to fight and they are waiting the town minster is standing in front of the militia the need the minster in battle for inspiration minster asked to play something
 * No one really know what is gonna happen
 * The British soldier wants them to leave the grounds but the colonists say they were gathered peacefully. So as a result the British soldiers got ready to fire and then the colonists got orders to disperse and run away.

__**Homework 11/17/2010 After watching the opening scenes of the American Revolution, had you been asked to take up arms against your own government soldiers under what circumstances would you agree to do so? Is it possible you might never do so? Explain why.**__ I would only agree to do so if I had no other choice but to do so like if my family and friends were being threatened or if was some other drastic action. I think it would be very much so possible that I would never take arms up against them because I feel like it looks a lot better sitting down and having a civilized conversation. But only if there was no other way to do so.
