If I get below a 70 they ground me and don’t let me explain why I have that grade without scoffing and telling me I’m a liar.

@ShadeStar

That's pretty good. Sometimes it helps me if I explain to my parents that it was a difficult test and not a lot of people did well on it. Maybe tell them this before you take the test in your case? And if you can get the statistics from your teacher find the classes average score. As long as your higher or meets that will help greatly in your case. Also harsh parents man.

Thanks. I already explained it to my dad and he didn’t say anything, which I didn’t know how to take. My teacher just might do that for me, I’m not quite sure. Also, yes, they’re very harsh. They’ve done many parenting-wrong things to me and my sister.

@ShadeStar

I'm sorry :( But the average will really help. Promise. I don't have harsh parents, just one with high expectations. Not as high as my own, but still high.

That’s okay. I have really supportive friends who are getting me through it, IRL and Internet.

French and Indian War: The local Native Americans joined the forces with the French. They were worried that British settlers would take their land. In Europe it was called the Seven Years War. Great Britain won the War.

British Defeat of the French (1763): In the Treaty of Paris 1763, France was forced to give up all of its North American colonies including Canada and all land west to the Mississippi river. Even though the British won the war, the economic cost left the country virtually bankrupt.

Pontiac’s Rebellion: A war waged by Indians of the Great Lakes region against British rule after the French and Indian War. The Indians, who had formed alliances with the defeated French, were dissatisfied with treatment from British officials. Unlike their French allies, British officials entrusted with Indian relations refused to offer gifts to tribal leaders such as guns, gunpowder, and ammunition. The Indians began to feel as if the British were preparing for war against them. The rebellion lasted three years, from 1763 to 1766. The war was named after Pontiac, chief of the Ottawa tribe. Indians from many tribes including the Ottawa, Ojibwa, Shawnee, Miami, Huron, Seneca and Potawatomi participated in the uprising.

Proclamation of Line: At the end of the French and Indian War, the British issued a proclamation, mainly intended to conciliate the Indians by checking the encroachment of settlers on their lands. It prohibited American colonists from settling west of Appalachia

The Paxton Boys: The Paxton Boys were frontiersmen of Scots-Irish origin from along the Susquehanna River in central Pennsylvania who formed a vigilante group to retaliate in 1763 against local American Indians in the aftermath of the French and Indian War and Pontiac's Rebellion.

Sugar Act:

Stamp Act: In 1765, England imposed the Stamp Act, which required colonists to buy a government stamp for nearly every paper document. It put a direct tax on items that were commonly used by every colonist, including newspapers, licenses, and legal documents. Many colonists rebelled, saying that the government should not tax them when they had no representation in Parliament. Due to colonial pressure, the British Parliament eventually repealed the stamp act but continued to issue others.

Sons of Liberty: An underground (well, kinda) rebellion led by Samuel Adams. Yes, like the beer. He was John Adams' cousin. Members included Sam Adams and Paul Revere. Also Sam Adams was a very outspoken supporter of the rebellion before it became a thing. He didn't learn how to ride a horse until he was in his fifties. The SoL would make effigies of hated Loyalists and then burn or tar-and-feather them, along with orchastrating the Boston Tea Party. Sam Adams also had a dog named Queue. (@@jynandor did this)

John Locke:

Rebublican Form of Government:

Thomas Paine Common Sense:

Declaration of Independence: A committee headed by Thomas Jefferson compiled a list of reasons why the American colonies should become independent in a formal document that was adopted on July 4, 1776. The first part, called the Preamble, explains the natural rights of all people. The second part includes a list of grievances(27) against King George, including "imposing taxes without our consent" and quartering large bodies of troops among us." The final part is where the colonists officially severed ties from Great Britain.

Adam Smith:

Battle of Saratoga: The turning point on the American Revolution. It started in September 19, 1777 and ended on October 7 of that same year. It convinced the French to give the U.S military support which lifted the American's morale. It ended the British threat in New England and showed the French the potential Americans had to defeat their enemy.

@HighPockets group

Yeah it's fine. I just have a very large amount of info on the Sons of Liberty (they're one of the main inspirations for my rebels in a story I'm working on) and Sam Adams (because of this book I read literally every day in 4th grade called "Why Don't You Ride A Horse, Sam Adams?")
