The project that I have chosen to do is the colonial town hall meeting. For this project we had to adopt the thinking of the character that we were given. I got King George III So I had to research what his thinking was about the future United States.

- We need to tax, How else will wewad pay for the french and indian war. Which might I add was to protect you.
- British victory of the seven years’ war; led England’s successful resistance to Revolutionary and Napoleonic France
- No loose morals

- I think that to be involved in the town hall meeting got very chaotic. Also it was a lot of fun to get into character.
- The feelings during the debate was that I didn't get to talk as much as I wanted to but I did get to talk a lot.
- Some of the major points brought up by the loyalist was that what we are taxing the colonists for is for the war that was to protect them. We are the british. The best thing that the patriots brought out was that they didn't know where the taxes were going and that they wanted to know. British are using us.
- I found that the patriots had a very convincing argument because they had a lot of very good examples of what was happening.
- I think that they were too afraid to fight for what they believed in or they were too afraid to stand up against england, or they just didn't know what to fight for.
- I learned that it was a very fun experience and a lot of people’s personalities came out during the debate.
