2. Patrick Henry  - Because the American colonies were being unfairly taxed my the british, and the high taxes directly affected people. They had no say in their share of taxes, because they couldn't vote. They earned their own money, and had to throw it away on taxes.

3. A rebellion of colonists that spoke against high taxes on tea. Several men, dressed as native americans climbed aboard a british tea ship, and dumped all of the tea over board. And after they had ruined all the tea, they swept the deck, Among these protestors was Paul Revere.
    
4. I don't think I'd blame any one person for the Salem witch trials. I think they were a result of poor judging, and never proved stories.

Line 13: Line 13:  
6. 'George Washington. Was he really great?' In my opinion, he wasn't really all that great. Sure he was a great general and a great president, but he really didn't do much of significance. We have had dozens of presidants since George Washington, and dozens of generals. And all (Or most) has done an equal, (If not better) job at it then he did. He got the fame simply because he was first.

7. 'Join or die'. A picture of a snake broken into eight parts, to symbolize 'South carolina' 'North carolina' 'Vermont' 'Pennsylvania' 'New Jersey' 'New york' and the eighth one is unreadable. I think it was a message to all of the other colonies to join the revolution. If they didn't, they would die. I think I'd probably date this picture to a few years before the Revolutionary War.
