   The American Revolution
              There were many reasons to start the revolution against the British. One of the main reasons was the tax that was placed on the many every day items such as sugar, tea, glass, almanacs, paper, and pamphlets. This tax lead to many different situations such as riots and other things like tar and feathering. These thing and many more would lead to The Boston Tea Party. This was an act to get the tax on tea lifted. The cry was "No Taxation without Repersentation."

During the war, when we had little supplies to survive we would either steal items and guns from the dead or when we would win a battle we would take all the possessions of the army we beat. We would take guns, swords and other necessary supplies to get by. During the cold winter months, we would have very little in the way of warm clothes and firewood to keep us warm, so some men used sheets of plastic and covered themselves up with it to keep warm.
