'''H2. Explain how Britain taxed the colonies, and whether you think it was right for Britain to do so.'''

:Britain taxed the colonies by using what we would now consider sales taxes. For example, when someone bought tea or stamps, an additional percentager of the sales price would be added which went to the government. I see no problem with this approach so long as everyone in the British Empire (the English, and their colonies) had to pay the same taxes. However, England did not tax everyone equally. Instead, they placed an unequal amount of the burden on the colonies. I do not think that this situation was fair. (Kevin F.) [Teacher's note for the reader: is the real problem of taxes one of fairness, or the burden and waste of the money?]

'''H3. Pick out any mystery of your choice prior to or during this period and suggest an explanation for it.'''
