To My Fellow Brother, Cape Bradford Hello brother I am writing you this letter to tell you that us Patriots are still rooting for you to be a part of our group. I’m going to tell you why they are not the people you want to chose. Well first of all they cause a lot of tension between us, such as The Proclamation of 1763 and how those dumb rules were cast upon us, that wasn’t a very fun time and don’t even get me started with The Boston Massacre and The Boston Tea Party those were horrible acts played on us, that was the moment where we couldn’t tolerate them any longer.

This all started with the Boston Massacre, one of the reasons of the tension between us was the competition for jobs between us colonists and those poorly paid soldiers. Then Crispus Attucks and four other men were shot during this protest, why would the British do that? Attack us defenseless citizens when really we did nothing …show more content…

If that wasn’t a big enough protest wait until I tell you about The Boston Tea Party, we dumped 18,000 pounds of the Indian tea into the Boston Harbor in our response to the outrageous Tea Act. Overall it was a great protest, they put something on us like that and we give them something to them back, taking their tea and putting it into the harbor, that’ll show
