2. eh i mean i think that what they did was a little big  but the tea was giving them big taxes so there's that
3. i mean they should have done something less crazy but then again the governor was not listening to them and refused to get rid of the tea so i guess they had to do it themselves

The difference that it would've made is that the colonists would have still been taxed on the tea. Which the revolutionary war might've not happened. Then America wouldn't be a free country.
2. I don't agree with the colonists destroying the tea. But I also don't disagree with their reasons of destroying the tea. It was ridiculous that King George III was making the colonist pay taxes on such things as tea. So in reality the colonists had a right to be mad, and a reason to dup all of the tea in the Boston harbor. What I don't like that they did is dup all the tea in the harbor. It was just a waste of perfectly good tea. They could've used it for better uses than wasting it all.
3. If the colonists were trying to avoid the tax I don't think there was any other way they could've gotten rid of it. Because the second the tea got on the land, the colonists would've gotten taxed.]]> 2021-02-26 14:12:25 UTC https://padlet.com/cwiles_stasko/rldi7tiwfdlcv2rs/wish/1245259736 https://padlet.com/cwiles_stasko/rldi7tiwfdlcv2rs/wish/1245260055 1.

If the tea was taken instead of being destroyed, I think they would still be taxed no matter what. I also think lots of people will get angry and have a battle or a war. I dont think it would be great and happy.
2. I do not agree with the colonists destroying the tea. I did not like there reasons and choices why they did. The reasons were not powerful reasons for them destroying the tea. Iget they were mad, but they could've not wasted the tea and use it for something else.

2.I do agree with the colonists destroying the tea.If they had not they would have not gotten their freedom and we would still be controlled by Great Britain. I do think that if their was another option they could have done that but they had no choice unless they were to pay the tax.

I think that people would still have to pay tax for the tea because there is some left the buy!!!
2. I agree with them because if the British found it then they will tax it again but they can't tax something that doesn't exist!!!  
3. I think there was ONE other option they could give it away!!!]]> 2021-02-26 14:33:27 UTC https://padlet.com/cwiles_stasko/rldi7tiwfdlcv2rs/wish/1245362920 https://padlet.com/cwiles_stasko/rldi7tiwfdlcv2rs/wish/1245685768 1. If some of the tea was taken, instead of being destroyed, then they would of had to been taxed for taking the tea,  but since they did not take the tea, and just destroyed it instead, they did not have to pay the tax. And if some of the tea was taken then to this day we could have been living without freedom because the Revolutionary War might have never happened.  And the rule called Intolerable Acts may have never happened.
2. I do agree with the colonists destroying the tea because it is not a very fair tax having something you enjoy in your daily life being taxed when before you could get the tea with no tax. And if they ended up trying to steal the tea or something else, then they could have ended up getting punished badly.
3. I don't really believe that there were other options for the colonists, because if there were other options, then I believe they should have tried them too.

2  I do not agree with the colinists destroying the tea.
My first reason why is because there wasting thouasands of pounds or millions of tea when there destroying it.

I agree with the colonists because Gorge kept controlling them and it was there time to do the same. Also i think them poring the tea was a way to save money from tea. 1. taking tea instead of destroying they could of put it in a fire to make the fire bigger or took it and hide of it and told gorge they would not give it back unless he stopped making they pay for it. ]]> 2021-02-26 15:46:22 UTC https://padlet.com/cwiles_stasko/rldi7tiwfdlcv2rs/wish/1245709705 https://padlet.com/cwiles_stasko/rldi7tiwfdlcv2rs/wish/1245710474 1. It would have made a difference if they took some of the tea instead of being destroyed.  They could have taken the tea and used it for something else like fuel or other stuff.
2. I don't really agree with the colonists destroying the tea because it was a lot of money for the tea and it was a waste, they could have used it for something else.
3. There were other options. They could have sold the tea to people or drank the tea.

2. I do agree with the colonist because they were showing the king that taxing  will not stop there rights and that was a good protest if it was not it wouldn't be in history and we would not be learning about it now.
3.There were probably other options, but that's history and we can't change the past so for now I like what they did I think it proved there rights.

The difference it would have made if people took the tea instead of destroying it would be that the king would see how desperate people are for tea.
2. I don't agree with the colonists they shouldn't have destroyed all that tea I get why they destroyed all of it but people could have had some nice tea that day.

If they had given it to the people, the tea would not be taxed. I also agree with the colonists because they needed to make an impression on Britain so they would stop taxing them. If they had took the tea they would be smuggling. Also they want to stop being taxed so the need to show Britain that they will not pay the taxes that they impose on the colonies.]]> 2021-02-26 15:47:37 UTC https://padlet.com/cwiles_stasko/rldi7tiwfdlcv2rs/wish/1245715684 https://padlet.com/cwiles_stasko/rldi7tiwfdlcv2rs/wish/1245717439 1. I think that not destroying the tea would make a difference by... If there is a family that can afford it then they could have it and enjoy it.
Also the company that made the tea probably work hard to make it, and that is a lot of tea that they wasted.
2. I do not agree with the colonist to destroy the tea. The thing that I would do is just leave it on the boat and let someone else get it. Also I would be pretty angry because they had just found out that they had to pay for it and they got so much to use but turns out they can't use it until they pay, ( maybe they did not have the money to pay for it.)
3. Where there other option than to throw it overboard into the sea? I think maybe there was. They could have  left it on the ship, shipped it back, if they were sneaky enough they could have gave it to someone else who did not know that the tea was taxed and let them do something about it to get rid of it or use it.]]> 2021-02-26 15:47:59 UTC https://padlet.com/cwiles_stasko/rldi7tiwfdlcv2rs/wish/1245717439 https://padlet.com/cwiles_stasko/rldi7tiwfdlcv2rs/wish/1245722944 1.

I think that the difference would have been that they would have gotten in trouble and that the family’s would have gotten a lot of tea to last for a while.
2. I do not agree with the colonists even though it was wrong for the king to tax them. I believe that they could have changed they way they acted because even if they were upset they were kind of wasting a good amount of tea for something they hated.
3. I do believe that there were other options than dumping the tea in the water because they wasted all of it. they could have taken it and not have to get rid of it. Since the colonists were very angry at the time it makes sense that they would have moved so quickly and destroyed it but after that I think that maybe they would have regretted their decision. they could have also maybe tried  to make their own tea and maybe then removed all of it to make sure that when they did it they would have a backup option. The colonists could have done many other things but I think that if they changed what they did then the whole story of what happened could have changed. ]]> 2021-02-26 15:50:56 UTC https://padlet.com/cwiles_stasko/rldi7tiwfdlcv2rs/wish/1245732009 https://padlet.com/cwiles_stasko/rldi7tiwfdlcv2rs/wish/1245737636 1. If some people had taken the tea  then there would have still been the tax because the people who took it still would have had to pay because if the redcoats some how found out they lied then they would be in trouble.
`2.Yes, i agree with the colonists because it was wrong for the king to tax the colonists, they are still his people so why do you have to tax them to get money back when you were help your own people.
3. Yes, there was other opinions. One of them was Thomas Hutchinson who knew people were anger about the tax because he still wanted to be loyal to the king and he didn't want the boy cot to happen so he told the people "to unload the ship as usual and even if they refuse to buy the tea that they will tax them".]]> 2021-02-26 15:52:05 UTC https://padlet.com/cwiles_stasko/rldi7tiwfdlcv2rs/wish/1245737636 https://padlet.com/cwiles_stasko/rldi7tiwfdlcv2rs/wish/1245737647 1.if they accepted the tea they would have ended up getting taxed
2. I dont agree with them destroying the tea because it was a big waste of tea that someone could have enjoyed drinking the tea and it was a big waste of time for them sailing over if they are just gonna destroy it.
3. i do think they had other options I not sure which options but im sure they could figure something out eventually.]]> 2021-02-26 15:52:05 UTC https://padlet.com/cwiles_stasko/rldi7tiwfdlcv2rs/wish/1245737647 https://padlet.com/cwiles_stasko/rldi7tiwfdlcv2rs/wish/1245741274 1. If some of the tea was not destroyed they would probably not get punished the ones who kept the tea and the ones who dumped away most of the tea would get punished. Also, if they kept the tea it would probably make more tea instead of making a letter to send it to the people who make the tea. It was also a big sacruelfise because they loved tea and they had it every single day.
 2. I agree with the colonist because the tea used to have no taxed, until King George the lll made it a taxed on the tea so you would have to pay the taxed before getting your tea. I would not be the one to dumped all the tea out I would just be in the crowd cheering them on when they were dumping out all of the tea. 
3. They were other options, the options were: To not dump out all the tea because that is just wasting so much tea, They could have just sent it back to Britan, they could have just payed the tax instead of dumping it out, the history would have changed if they did not dump out all of that tea, they could have not have payed the taxed just not pay them, they could have not payed for the tea and just have stolen it, and they probably regreted because they all have loved tea.]]> 2021-02-26 15:52:52 UTC https://padlet.com/cwiles_stasko/rldi7tiwfdlcv2rs/wish/1245741274 https://padlet.com/cwiles_stasko/rldi7tiwfdlcv2rs/wish/1245763073 If some tea was taken and someone found out later on there would be punishments on the person who took the tea.

I think that if some of it was taken they would find who was involved and punish them.

2. I agree with the colonists because if they did not do that they would of not shown the British that they were not happy with what the British are doing they showed them that they hated what the British were doing and I like the way they showed them that they were not happy.
3. I think that there were other options such as doing nothing or leaving some or they could argue in court. or more like that.
