I would rather be free than have to worry about unfair and harsh ruling. ]]> 2021-03-17 11:33:48 UTC https://padlet.com/sharondilts/xdi911pslqslccec/wish/1320052770 https://padlet.com/sharondilts/xdi911pslqslccec/wish/1320053127 If I were a colonists, I would declare independence because Great Britain shouldn't be able to keep taxing and punishing us. ]]> 2021-03-17 11:33:53 UTC https://padlet.com/sharondilts/xdi911pslqslccec/wish/1320053127 https://padlet.com/sharondilts/xdi911pslqslccec/wish/1320053400 I would declare independence because it's not right paying taxes that don't affect the colonies.
