I really like this unit on the American Revolution, but my favorite part to learn about is the Boston Tea Party. I like learning about why King George started taxing the colonists and that he started to tax them on something they loved. TEA. The colonists did not want to pay them and the king started sending over tax collector after tax collector. Until there were a lot of them. The colonists started torturing and being mean to the tax collectors. When the king started to tax tea, the colonists were furious and would not pay. They decided they could live without tea and threw tea overboard.
