Introduction: The French tea company was making a lot more money than the west Indian Tea Company and the Indians were losing a lot of their money and they were starting to fight against the French then the Indians stole the French tea and then aboard boats they dumped all the tea in the Boston Harbor and the British people were starting to fight back and they had a super powerful army the army basically knew that they had a victory under their belt.

Chapter 1: The French and Indian War

The fighting had broken out and battles lasted forever then a few years later the revolutionary war broke out but the French Indian war broke out in a weird way. In the revolutionary war it was basically started by the stamp act it was king George the lll putting a tax on like everything and that got most colonist mad because there ruler as halfway across the world so that started the rebels and they wanted to make their own rules so that long cold war became one of the longest wars but it also became the beginning of the united states of America which we now live in today that war lasted 7 years  many kids and adults died it was a very sad time seeing women back that because most of their kids and their husbands were at war and that surprised me that kids fought in wars there were a lot of widows back then widows are women whose husbands . There were also many widows, which are husbands when the wife died many people had died. The French Indian war and the American revolutionary war lasted 13 years together. The French and patriot army had 24,000 people in the war /shot/stabbed that’s a lot and 8,000 to 12,000 people died on the prison ships and about 17,000 died because of disease in the French Indian war I could not find anything on how many people had died but I am sure many people died and they were fighting for their families on both sides to keep them wealthy. Many families lost members there were Many families with just 1 or 2 people in a family. So, Mothers of children would most likely not let them to go into war. Because if you went into war you basically knew that you were going to dye so when the people got the news that somebody died in their family they had more jobs to do over what they already had. In the French Indian war, not many women died but if they did the husband of that wife would be very sad because they would be a widower which was actually rare for a wife to die before a husband.

Many people back in those days were so poor right now a penny for them would be like 15 dollars which is also a lot of money back then. This flag shows what the colonies were fighting for a new country where they could make their own rules have their own ruler which was king George the lll from across the world. How would you feel if you had to pay tax to the king when you are halfway across the world? And that is why I put the American flag below to show what those patriots fought for a new country. That is why the native Americans dumped all the British tea in the harbor they were fighting for their money because mostly everybody was super poor. Most of the battles that they fought like ⅓ of every army was gone. Which means many of them died or got wounded but they did that for money. Why did they do that? Because they wanted a new life that's why they fought for their own freedom

Chapter 3: The Boston Tea Party

The Boston Tea Party? That name made it sound like an old-fashioned party. Well it was not it was the opposite of a friendly party. It was a big piece of history it was revenge just for them. The British  were the most powerful source around. Many of them were super rich and they had a huge army. And their companies were making a ton of schillings. Schillings were there money and the British had a lot of it. And on the other side of the war the Indians had a very poor life when their own tea company lost money they needed to get that money back quick. So, they forced people to buy there tea so at that point. So, for the Indians dumped the tea in the harbor the French wanted there tea back so that basically started the French Indian war. What I think about this war is that the French started the war with the first shot. And that the Indians need to learn about business. The French now were super rich why would the companies merge together? Because the French were the rich people they were the people that had the best military supplies and the best fighters but they did not know how to fight in a way that we do today they would line up in rows of like 50 and the line would go back like 50 people but the Indians and the colonist learned how to fight in  a new way by ambushing camping out and usually catching their opponent  off guard .The new way to fight was  winning the colonies  wars and by that the people got to live a free life. 

             

Conclusion: In this time period I think that the French fired the first shot in the French Indian war. And that the Indians should have made peace with the French. They also should have figured out how to improve their business. I also think that in in the American Revolution the British could have won if they learned how to fight in a modern way like the patriots.
