I get that Britain helps supply us with resources we might not yet have, and other things like that, but if we smooth things over how do we know that in a couple decades (or more) we won't go back to being taxed? Furthermore, we could do things how we want, and wouldn't really have to follow any laws that we feel are unfair in Britain.]]> 2021-03-17 14:49:59 UTC https://padlet.com/sharondilts/20vmkrjqfpt489ab/wish/1321008637 I would prefer to declare independence, because after all the things that happened with Great Britain, it would be hard to forgive them and smooth things over. https://padlet.com/sharondilts/20vmkrjqfpt489ab/wish/1321009478 2021-03-17 14:50:08 UTC https://padlet.com/sharondilts/20vmkrjqfpt489ab/wish/1321009478 Declare independence https://padlet.com/sharondilts/20vmkrjqfpt489ab/wish/1321009601 If I was an American Colonist I would prefer to declare independence because they taxed us for many things for way to long. ]]> 2021-03-17 14:50:09 UTC https://padlet.com/sharondilts/20vmkrjqfpt489ab/wish/1321009601 Smooth things over probably. I feel like the best way to get our independence is to sort things out and try to come with an agreement somehow so everyone can be treated equally. https://padlet.com/sharondilts/20vmkrjqfpt489ab/wish/1321009646 2021-03-17 14:50:10 UTC https://padlet.com/sharondilts/20vmkrjqfpt489ab/wish/1321009646 I would smooth things over because if we ever need them as allies they would be good to have. https://padlet.com/sharondilts/20vmkrjqfpt489ab/wish/1321011403 2021-03-17 14:50:30 UTC https://padlet.com/sharondilts/20vmkrjqfpt489ab/wish/1321011403 If I was a colonist, I would declare independence. https://padlet.com/sharondilts/20vmkrjqfpt489ab/wish/1321011559 2021-03-17 14:50:31 UTC https://padlet.com/sharondilts/20vmkrjqfpt489ab/wish/1321011559 26jpreiser https://padlet.com/sharondilts/20vmkrjqfpt489ab/wish/1321012157 If I were an American colonist, I would want to declare independence from Great Britain. This is because Great Britain enforced many laws and taxes. Many of them were very unfair towards the colonists and only focused toward the gain of the British Government. ]]> 2021-03-17 14:50:37 UTC https://padlet.com/sharondilts/20vmkrjqfpt489ab/wish/1321012157 26malexander https://padlet.com/sharondilts/20vmkrjqfpt489ab/wish/1321012769 I would smooth things out. one reason why I would smooth things out is because it would be much easier for great britain to agree with me.
