Were the colonists right to protest and rebel, or did they overreact? by https://padlet.com/deshon_haddad/m7n6j1yorrg3 Post a short response en-us 2016-10-25 16:06:05 UTC 2016-10-25 17:01:57 UTC hello@padlet.com Well Yes.  tatertotizzle https://padlet.com/deshon_haddad/m7n6j1yorrg3/wish/133089851 They were totally right in protesting. Why would I want to pay more taxes in an unbuilt and new colony when Britain's taxes are all cut and half and they are sitting pretty. ]]> 2016-10-25 16:55:54 UTC https://padlet.com/deshon_haddad/m7n6j1yorrg3/wish/133089851 https://padlet.com/deshon_haddad/m7n6j1yorrg3/wish/133089996 They were right to rebel because the British were controlling everything and abusing their power]]> 2016-10-25 16:56:13 UTC https://padlet.com/deshon_haddad/m7n6j1yorrg3/wish/133089996 Totes. halleharker https://padlet.com/deshon_haddad/m7n6j1yorrg3/wish/133090027 2016-10-25 16:56:18 UTC https://padlet.com/deshon_haddad/m7n6j1yorrg3/wish/133090027 I believe that the colonists had the right to protest what was being done to them if they truly believed that they were being treated unjustly. If they thought that the british taxes on tea, quartering, and other things went too far they should have protested and throwing the tea in the harbor was a very peaceful way to protest and wasn't very much of an overreaction. https://padlet.com/deshon_haddad/m7n6j1yorrg3/wish/133090077 2016-10-25 16:56:25 UTC https://padlet.com/deshon_haddad/m7n6j1yorrg3/wish/133090077 I think they had a right to protest. Especially considering they were lowering taxes in Britain while raising them in the states. If taxes were going up for all citizens, that would be one thing, but because it only affected one group it deserved to be protested. https://padlet.com/deshon_haddad/m7n6j1yorrg3/wish/133090084 2016-10-25 16:56:25 UTC https://padlet.com/deshon_haddad/m7n6j1yorrg3/wish/133090084 I think they were right to rebel, however, they could have gone about it differently to prompt a better response from the British gov' https://padlet.com/deshon_haddad/m7n6j1yorrg3/wish/133090123 2016-10-25 16:56:29 UTC https://padlet.com/deshon_haddad/m7n6j1yorrg3/wish/133090123 Yes, it needed to be an overreaction to GET a reaction. https://padlet.com/deshon_haddad/m7n6j1yorrg3/wish/133090204 2016-10-25 16:56:39 UTC https://padlet.com/deshon_haddad/m7n6j1yorrg3/wish/133090204 Both https://padlet.com/deshon_haddad/m7n6j1yorrg3/wish/133090232 They had a right to protest but the way they did it was an overreaction]]> 2016-10-25 16:56:42 UTC https://padlet.com/deshon_haddad/m7n6j1yorrg3/wish/133090232 They overreacted when they dumped the tea, just like they overreacted when they shot Harambe. https://padlet.com/deshon_haddad/m7n6j1yorrg3/wish/133090239 2016-10-25 16:56:42 UTC https://padlet.com/deshon_haddad/m7n6j1yorrg3/wish/133090239 Dang Straight https://padlet.com/deshon_haddad/m7n6j1yorrg3/wish/133090353 They didn't overract at all!

Why punish all of the colonies over the actions of a few?
