media type="custom" key="7278403" What class did the stamp act affect more the rich or poor? -it affected the poor more because they didnt have money; at least the rich were...rich and they had the money to pay it but at the same time the rich had to buy more paper and stamps because they had buisness's and they need more paper but they also had miney coming in. -How did the Stamp Act raise concerns among the colonists about Britain’s right to tax them?

11/2/10:the townsheds act was basically created because the stamp act was destroyed because of colonists and their violence toward it,so they decided to tax evertything else for example: paper paint led glass and tea the most common drink in colonists and get rid of rits of assiatance invading peoples houses and privacy.

11/3/10 to avoid paying taxes due to townshend acts without any violence colonists: -letters to parliment -boycott -smuggle -protest -but had to watch out because of; writs of assistance: BAD

-i think it was the colonists fault because they brang it on theirself and the british were only reactin to what they would normally do in battle after they hear a gun getting shot; they start to shoot to. -the main differences between the two pictures are in one of them both the british and the colonists have weapons and in another only the british have weapons.

11/4/10 -community service learning :D the colonists ritoted and about 5 people died. african slace and robert ponds testify.

11/5/10 Do now: can violence ever be justified? why or why not? in my opinion i think that you can justify violence but you will never be satisfied with the punisments.[an eye for an eye] brits repealed taxes ||
