HERE WERE SOME OF THE MOST BRUTUL PUNISHMENTS

One of the punishments was having your fingerprint burnt off! Also, if you did something bad such as boycotting you would get whipped on your bare back with leather ropes held by a handle. Another punishment was getting hot tar with feathers dumped on you. The last punishment was being hung by the neck until dead. This might make you think: "what if these punishments were still here today?"

If you lived back in the 1700's a spy could be anyone. That's no joke! Think of anyone. Your school bus driver, your mom, your dad, your older brother, your great great great grandfather. Benedict Arnold was a very famous spy. He worked for the British. However, he pretended to work for the Americans so he could get information about them.

Yay! Party time! Wrong! This tea party was not a tea party at all. This so called "party" was colonist dumping gallons and gallons of tea into the ocean. The reason they did this was because there was a lot of taxes back then such as tea, sugar, window, income, and property tax. However, the tea tax cost the most. That is how it started.
