    The Road to the Revolution:

    how the Colonists went from being British to being bloodthirsty

    by Bailey Brammer and Keegan Koch

    When the colonists arrived in the New World in the 1600's, they created selfrun governments because Britain decided to let them rule themselves. This was
    known as "salutary neglect," and the colonists lived happily under these ideas
    for many years.

    Life was good in the colonies. The British colonists had families and farmed
    crops such as tobacco and sugar. However, life was about to change and war
    was about to erupt in the New World. With the arrival of the French, conflicts
    began. The French were only interested in trading fur and the British decided
    the French did not belong in their territory, particularly the Ohio River Valley.

    When the British declared war on the French, the colonists decided to help
    the British soldiers. The French teamed up with the Indians and they all
    fought for seven years because they both wanted control of the Ohio River
    Valley. During the war, the British began to ask the colonist to give them more
    money to fight the war and this made the colonists very mad.

    When the war was over and the French got


    kicked out of America, the British did not
    stop making the colonists pay.

    The British decided to stop the colonists from


    traveling to new places in the New World and this
    made the colonists furious. They decided to rebel
    against the British, because they were upset over
    having to pay for a war they did not even want to be
    a part of.

    Eventually, Britain and the colonists got so angry at one another that rebellions
    started happening, such as the Boston Tea Party. Soon after, the Revolutionary
    War began, because the colonists were determined to fight for their freedom.
