American Colonies

I realize that the time for this particular blog has pasted but I just figured out how to post... Now that we have learned how the American colonies developed, it is interesting to know the significance of the events that occurred, to lead us to become an independent nation. If there hadn’t been such an upset in the colonies, would we still be under the control of Britain? If the parliament had catered more to the colonists’ requests, maybe we would be. It’s funny to think that the colonists that dressed up as Indians and threw the British tea overboard didn’t truly know what they were starting. I wonder if they had known what was going to happen as a result of their actions, if they still would have gone through with it.
