We the people of Ms. Bad's social studies class did a simulation about the American Revolutionary War to learn about what happened during this important event in our history. We have been doing it with our rivals, Queen Newman and the Parliament of the 6th. Every day in homeroom we learned about what happen between the American Colonist and the British, like the acts imposed on the colonies, how the colonies reacted, and how the British government and King George III also reacted. Then, after we learned about the major events, the same thing happened to us using our class economy money in the simulation!
First, Queen Newman and the Parliament of the 6th put taxes on us for them protecting us which they didn't do, just like the British forced the colonists to pay more taxes to help pay for "protection" and war debts after the French and Indian War. Then, they put the Stamp Act on us and made us pay MORE for school supplies. After that the Parliament of the 6th put the Quartering Act on us and took Carson and Dakota's desks, The Green Family, the library book checkout sheet, the rulers, and even our calculators!
Finally, we got tired of this (just like the colonists!) and gave them our grievances, but it didn't work. They wouldn't stop taxing us, so we we protested around their room stomping, chanting saying, "NO TAXATION WITHOUT REPRESENTATION!" After our protest, we wrote a Declaration of Independence and "battled" the 6th grade to earn our freedom!
