ReplyDelete1.Well first of all the colonist wanted freedom, they were to locked in with the taxes. They thought that the idea of the taxes, and the rules is to atrocious, and horrendous for them to live there original life. Also the colonist probably didn't live up to the fact that the Red Coats were after them, thus causing them to fight for there freedom that starts America it self.
2.The colonists main challenge that they are facing is mainly with the Red Coats. This was atrocious to them because they we being hunted down forever with the toughest army in the world. They were preventing the colonists to have freedom, which is horrendous cause there basically slaves.
3.Well the revolution for the colonist's choices was really serious for them, one mistake America would've probably got tooken over by Boston. So basically if they mess up the Red Coats would probably still be the strongest area right now, or maybe later in the past
4.Well if they don't the Red Coats would've kept everyone in slavery. I don't know about any other people, but I would take a chance to break everyone out of this madness in a new place called America.
5.Well first of all Boston was important because they started the Boston tea party which was a big impact into the community, and the colonists. They were also preventing the taxes from going through throwing the self into a tax payment mayhem.
