Share your Topic! Make Some Money!


I started to feel bad (kind of) about the Gum tax. So I decided to give you an opportunity to earn some money to help you in your quest to defeat me and win the American Revolution. This post is quite simple, tell us/world about your YouTube project topic and you will earn money for your colony. How much money you ask? I'll give you five grand. ($5,000). You must share five things about your topic to earn the money. You have until September 27th to do this. Each member of your colony can do this and earn money even though you do not all have the same topic. No School points, but Money to be made!

Okay our project is going to put everyone elses project to shame! We are doing the Boston Massacre!

The Boston Massacre happened when the colonists and the Great Britain soilders got into a fight. The soilders told the colonists to step back or they would shoot. When the colonists didn't step back they were shot. Three people were killed and two died a few days later. The soliders were sent to court where there were two sides. One side said they were only defending them selves and the other group said there was no reason to shoot them. In the end the soldiers were branded and realsed, and this did not go over well with the colonists.

So that is the Boston Massacre. By the way, for those students who chew in class, stop! It is soooo obvious! It only wastes time, and gum! I'm just telling the truth.
