The Boston Tea Party
It happened on December 19, 1773.
Everything was fine until a
group of men ran out of a
building dressed like Mohawk
Indians (no one believed the men
were real Mohawk Indians) but
the men kept running.

The Boston Tea Party
The Boston Tea Party was an important event in the
Revolutionary War. As a result of this event, King George passed the
Intolerable Acts. The first act closed the port of the Boston Harbor. The
second act only let the governor call a town meeting. The third act was
the quartering act which allowed British soldiers to be housed in
private homes. The fourth act was the Impartial Administration of
Justice Act; this act allowed the royal governor of a colony to move
trials to other colonies or even to England if he feared that juries in
those colonies wouldn't judge it fairly. These are some acts. The
Boston Tea Party was an important part of the Revolutionary War.

The Boston Massacre
The Boston Massacre was a shocking event to the colonists,
and was a terrible event that led to the American Revolution. I know
this because five people were killed and six were wounded. Also, it
caused the Boston Tea Party and other acts. The Boston Massacre was a
terrible event that led to the American Revolution.
The Boston Massacre was a terrible event that led to the
American Revolution. One reason is that five people were killed and six
were wounded. This was bad because Crispus Attucks was a runaway
slave, and a nice man, and he was killed. Also there was Samuel
Maverick, who was just making fun of a soldier’s clothes, and got killed.

Battles of Lexington and Concord
The Battle of Lexington and Concord was a very
significant battle for many reasons. One of those reasons were
that we did not have as many solders during this battle. The way
the battle started was simple. The British were on a mission to
successfully find and destroy the Americans weapons,
gunpowder and stored supplies. This battle was the first major
battle of the American Revolution.
The battles were split into two parts. The first part was
the battle of Lexington. At the beginning of the battle we were
doing just fine. Later in the battle we became out numbered
and were losing solders vey fast. We retreated to the outskirts of
Concord and spied on the solders wile they were searching for
weapons. We finally started to stop spying and came out to fight.
We were not expected to win but we did!

Lydia Darragh
Lydia Darragh was a spy during the Revolutionary War. One way
Lydia helped is she over heard General Howe talking about a
secret attack on America. She lied about going to get sugar but
she was really telling George Washington about their sneak
attack on them. Another way she helped is she was a nurse
during the war. She bandaged things and pulled bullets out of
solders and gave them food and water to rehydrate and she
gave them a place to stay over night. She risked her life for the
solders she was a good woman.

Deborah Champion’s Life
The American Revolution and freedom from
England was an important part of Deborah
Champion’s life. One reason is that her father told
to send messages to General Washington. Another
reason is she hid many documents. The American
Revolution was an important part of her life as a
patriot.

John Honeyman
John Honeyman
Sasha Zohar
John Honeyman had twists and turns in the Revolution especially
switching his alliance and becoming a spy. John was born in Ireland. In
his late 20s he joined the British army. In 1775 Honeyman met George
Washington. Even though he served the British, he was sympathetic for
the Americans, that’s when he became a Patriot.
In 1776 Honeyman moved to Griggs town to help Washington.
When the Continental Army retreated across New Jersey, Washington
called upon Honeyman for a meeting at Fort Lee in New Jersey and
there Honeyman agreed to become a spy in Trenton.
He posed as “Troy” Honeyman and traded with the British. Once
Honeyman had gathered enough information he arranged to be
captured by the Continental forces and to bring him to Washington
unharmed. After hearing the information Honeyman had gathered,
Washington ordered the guards to feed “Troy” and lock him up in a
small hut used as a prison. Later a fire broke out giving Honeyman the
chance to “escape”. He went back to Trenton and told the Hessian
commander what happened.
In conclusion, Honeyman had some twists and turns in the
American Revolutionary War. In 1781 the war ended but it took almost
2 years for Paris to sign a peace treaty. Honeyman lived through the
war but he died August 18, 1822.

Fun Facts
Documents
I Didn’t Know That!
The Declaration of Independence
was officially adopted on July 4, 1776.
That’s why we celebrate Independence
Day on the fourth of July. The
Declaration of Independence was written
on a 24 ¼ inches wide and 29 ¾ inches
long. This document was written by
Thomas Jefferson. Other people that
were involved were: John Adams,
Benjamin Franklin, Roger Sherman and
Robert Livingston. These people were in
a group called the Continental Congress.
They worked together to make
documents to change the world. They
first met in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

Artillery and Artillery travel
Cannons were mostly on carriages. At the forts these carriages had small wheels.
The carriages for field travel had big wheels. Some Artillery pieces could hit a target 1,800
yards away. All artillery had different but similar concept, they all had different things to
accomplish but they still shot similar ammo. Mortars were for high angles to fire over fort
walls. They had very small and wide barrels. Howitzers could shoot both high and in a straight
path. Much of the artillery was too heavy, big and had too much power, so they put them on
a wooden carriage. They put wheels on it and they pushed it to aim and used horses to pull it
on the travel. The carriages that were made for forts and ships sat low heavy carriages had
small wheels. A field carriage was much lighter so it was very easy to push or pull it.it had to
very big wheels to make it easy to travel. It took 14 highly trained men to arm one piece
Fun facts
There were more weapons than rifles and
muskets.
There was a submarine that was called the
turtle (it really was a wood barrel with a hand
cranked propeller).
Soldiers made their own bullets.
There were not many of bayonets for the
Americans.
Thomas Jefferson was an important person during the
American revolution. I know this because he believed in liberty. He
wanted people of the colonies to have freedom. He was not afraid
to stand up to British laws. He was the third president and served
for eight years. He was vice president under John Adams. He
wrote the first draft of the Declaration of Independence. He held
many jobs in the government. For example, he was Secretary of
State. Thomas Jefferson’s wife, Martha, died before he became
president.

Common Sense
• Thomas Paine was a famous writer during the
American Revolution. He was the author of a
pamphlet called “Common Sense.” George
Washington used Common Sense when all of
the solders were giving up. George
Washington read the words to encourage
them during hard times.
All about Henry Knox
Henry Knox was a great military leader during
the Revolutionary War. I know this because he
was secretary for George Washington during the
war. In addition, he improved the design of gun
carriages and wagons. This made gun carriages
move quicker. Henry Knox directed Washington
troops when they crossed the Delaware River in
December 1776 then they marched on to
Trenton in New Jersey.
