Today, we placed orders in our "family" businesses. Students have created an invoice to purchase items that were used in Colonial Times. Over the course of the day, I will assess taxes to their orders! OH! The surprise they will have when we establish the Stamp Act on the paper products they ordered! AND how the Pounds, Shillings, and Pence are spent much more quickly when there are taxes assessed!
We have talked about the different tax laws that were passed during the colonial period and how the colonists started to rebel against the British. We have declared NO TAXATION WITHOUT REPRESENTATION and will have a march next week.....
