How does this all go with the real world? What events that happened during this time are like the events happening in today's world?
These events, although happened before we were alive, have happened in today's world, but we might have never noticed, or we noticed, and we didn't pay attention. Some events just match up like taxation in the colonies and taxation in the United States. There is a presidential election next month, and one thing that's on everyone's mind is the taxation laws. How much is too much. Who's paying what? How much should the rich pay and how much should the poor pay? The colonists had to pay taxes, no matter if you were rich or poor while today, people are expecting the poor to pay more than the rich. But, after everyone pays their share, who benefits from it. The people don't benefit, but the government does. The government benefits. When the colonists paid their taxes, they didn't benefit from it. England did. England benefited the most. The only time the colonists benefited if it was local taxes that were used for local use. Then everyone benefited and it wouldn't have been a problem. In my own eyes, if you let everyone have the same share, like placing a tax on stamps and tea in England, then nobody would freak out. Let everyone have their own share, and let everyone benefit. Not just one person or a group of people. Won't that be nice?
