BethanyS - IN PROGRESS

1. I think they were:

(1) Colonists were accustomed to much independence and self-determination, and Tory efforts to regulate and tax were bitterly opposed by the Colonies (and by Whigs in England).

(4) Legally, colonies disagreed with "virtual representation."

(5) Religious reasons: many colonists disliked Anglicans (and Catholics), and feared England would install an Anglican bishop.

2. The phrase "taxation without representation" originated from Reverend Jonathan Mayhew. He used the phrase in one of his sermons because he was adamantly against the method of taxation Britain used.

3. On December 16,1773 a group of colonists led by Samuel Adams dressed as Indians and raided a ship loaded with tea in the harbor. They dumped all tea on board the ship into the harbor. Probably one of the best know things about this action was what the colonists did after ruining the tea. Once the tea was all floating in the harbor, Samuel Adams commanded the colonist to clean the ship - sweep, mop, whatever was necessary to make it clean.

4. No, I don't blame anyone for the Salem Witch Trials. I think that the girls who appeared to be possessed were either mentally ill or just wanted attention and were very good actors. But then again, the girls really may have been possessed by the devil, who was using them to bring down honest, religious people.

5.False. The more religious freedom colonies had, the more they were able to think and make decisions on their own. Plus, they had the motivation to fight because they knew that if the Colonies lost, they would not have freedom of religion any more.

6.What happened to the Lost Colony?

Soon after starting a colony, a group of the colonists left to go back to England for more supplies.
