Massachusetts Patriot

---I. Boston being the central focal point of Massachusetts also happened to be the central trading port for revenue.

------------i. “First, the greater Boston area was a major commercial center and was naturally sensitive to all efforts to regulate trade.”

---------------a. Boston the heart of Massachusetts in which we find this to a place where our freedoms are stripped the most. The city of trade, the city of British organizations this place in which the British keep gripped tightly. Boston is the trade port of all things coming in or out of country , the port is their main control which is why they hold it with lock and key.


II.--Massachusetts became economically in trouble when the British starting taxing colonists; taxing everything we need to buy. Creating a high level of animosity between us the patriots of freedoms and British Parliament.

------i. “Boston became the hotspot of unrest as colonists began to rebel against the heavy taxation levied upon them by the British Parliament.”
--------a. Patriots mainly being the colonists who rebelled against the taxation now hold a significant amount of ammo against the unjust taxes being shoved down our throats; only choice is to make a noise in tell we get heard.

---------III. The acts in which were forced upon us leads us to form secret unions. We as a unified group send letters and plan strategies to address the issues that the British Parliament has set in place in means to control us.

----------------i. “.We have just received the copy of an Act of the British Parliament passed in the present session whereby the town of Boston is treated in a manner the most ignominious, cruel, and unjust. The Parliament have taken upon them, from the representations of our governor and other persons inimical to and deeply prejudiced against the inhabitants, to try, condemn, and by an Act to punish them, unheard; which would have been in violation of natural justice even if they had an acknowledged jurisdiction.”
------------------------a. These sentiments which started out in a manner of absolute respect as turned to righteous anger. Therefore letting go of any respect we may have had , because of the cruel over powering of the British Parliament and their constant injustice towards us the colonists of Massachusetts.

----------Iv. In the center of the war that is so brutally taking away hope we can only look to the bold examples representing the patriotism of America’s independence.

-------------i. Thomas pain The crisis; “THESE are the times that try men's souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands by it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph.”

------------------a. His words drive men to the great allegiance for American freedoms In this we shall hope for the glorious defeat of the British fleet. Patriots find their reason to press on for the sake of liberty and the revolutionary change that it will bring to all men.



---------------V. This the war against our brothers has become necessary for the equal right as humans and people. I a patriot of the passionate pursuit of free will and justice for all men believe in this cause, because of the suffocation that Britain holds over us even in this our new land.

-----------------i. Britain controlled everything in England over stepping into controlling the will of the people implementing their very ideals despite the peoples desires to be free in religion ,land, ideas, and anything that went against British tradition. America a new land of limitless possibilities, undiscovered land, and untouched freedom this was the desire of a major percentage of England. Britain transferred over their England living the very ideas the colonists were trying to escape from creating the uproar between the patriots and the British.
