They had many rights taken away. The British made them pay extra for everything they bought(taxes) and the money went to the king. They took away their right to live freely, they did unreasonable searches, and arrested for no reason. ]]> 2020-12-17 14:53:35 UTC https://padlet.com/evelyn_rapini/lv6a3b4j7r4up8f1/wish/1027939261
