April 5, 2013

This week in social studies we learned about the American Revolution.  The British and the colonists took part in that war.  The places the war was fought in were Lexington and concord, and bunker hill.
The British had a base called fort Ticonderoga.  They had many supplies there.  The colonists found it and invaded the base.  The British won the war.



This week in social studies, we learned about the Boston Massacre. The Boston Massacre wasn't really a massacre. Paul Revere showed people a picture British soldiers killing innocent towns people and a little puppy watching them. It was a lie. The towns people threw snowballs at the soldiers. But the snowballs had sand and gravel in it. When one soldier fell to the ground, he heard someone yell, "FIRE!" He got up and shot. Five people died. But the picture Paul Revere showed people, had many people dying. The Boston Massacre was a snowball fight gone horribly wrong.
