The next year

From Create Your Own Story

It’s 1774, and it has just been announced that the Boston Port will be closed until the tea is paid for. People are completely outraged by this. It will put hundreds of men out of work. The Rope makers and the people who work on the dock are all going to lose their jobs. They yell at the officials who announce the closing of the port. One person asks why the whole city is punished for the actions of 60 rebellious people. He is tackled, and beat up. People want there “elected officials" back, even though most of the people talking are lower class citizens, who didn’t have a say in who the officials were. They wanted to feel represented, even if it is a false feeling. When you get home, Deborah Revere says that we, (Paul Revere, you, and Deborah Revere) have to make the place appear to be messy. She says this needs to happen, so the Redcoats don’t decide to move in. She knows that Paul Revere probably breaks the law, almost daily. They don’t yet have real proof of the treason against the crown that he has committed, so they can’t prosecute him, but if they were in his house they would have no end of evidence.

The coercive acts, are the last straw. People just got more annoyed at the British.
