All About Hera
Their marriage quickly changed. Zeus had several relationships with mortal women, goddesses, and nymphs. This made Hera very angry and jealous. She schemed against the other women and made them hide in fear.
Zeus and Hera had two children, both boys, Ares and Hephaestus. Zeus also had many children with other women, like Hermes, Apollo, and Hercules. Hera did not like that. Hera was known for her jealous and vengeful nature against Zeus's lovers and his children. Some, like Hercules, she even tried to kill.
In anger, Hera dared to steal Zeus’s thunderbolt. This made him very angry and his temper was stronger than hers. Zeus hung Hera from the sky with anvils tied from her feet, and freed her only when she asked for his forgiveness. Zeus’s temper was stronger than Heras, but he truly feared his wife.
Although Hera was beautiful, regal, and elegant in appearance, her actions proved that her personality was vain, suspicious, and vengeful. It was hard to ever predict what Hera might do, but quite often, it was something terrible.

All About HerculesClose Reading Passage
Name: _____________________
Hercules was the greatest of the mythological Greek heroes. He was famous for his incredible strength, courage, and intelligence. Hercules is actually his Roman name. The Greeks called him Heracles.
Hercules married a princess named Megara. They had a family and were living a happy life. This made the goddess Hera angry. She tricked Hercules into thinking his family were snakes. Hercules killed the snakes only to realize they were his wife and kids. He was very sad and filled with guilt.
Hercules wanted to get rid of his guilt. He went to get advice from the Oracle of Delphi. The Oracle told Hercules that he must serve King Eurystheus for 10 years and do any task the king asked of him. If he did this, he would be forgiven and wouldn't feel guilty any more. The tasks the king gave him are called the Twelve Labors of Hercules. The king did not like Hercules and wanted him to fail. Each time he made the tasks more and more difficult. The final task even involved traveling to the Underworld and bringing back the fierce three-headed guardian Cerberus Some time after completing the 12 labors, Hercules married the princess Deianira. The centaur Nessus tried to hurt Deianira, and Hercules shot him with a poisoned arrow. The dying centaur told Deianira to smear some of his blood on Hercules' robe if she ever needed to win back his love.
He was a demigod. This means that he was half god, half human. His father was Zeus, king of the gods, and his mother was Alcmene, a beautiful human princess. Even as a baby Hercules was very strong. When the goddess Hera, Zeus' wife, found out about Hercules, she wanted to kill him. She snuck two large snakes into his crib. However, baby Hercules grabbed the snakes by the neck and strangled them with his bare hands!
After Hercules fell in love with another princess, Iole, Deianira followed Nessus' advice. The centaur's blood had been poisoned by Hercules' arrow. When Hercules put on the robe, it burned him terribly. His body was consumed by flames, and he was taken to Mount Olympus, home of the gods. There, he became a god.

You have probably heard of the American Revolution. Perhaps names like George Washington and Thomas Jefferson ring a bell, but do you know how it all started?
By the 1750s, Britain had established thirteen colonies in North America. Meanwhile, the country of France was also settling parts of the continent. In their efforts to dominate the new land, Britain and France fought in a conflict that became known as the French and Indian War (1754 - 1763). Britain eventually prevailed in this fight, but this would become the first event that would lead Americans to desire independence from their home country of Britain.
It takes a lot of money to fight a war, and Britain had to find a way to pay for its conflict with France. They also decided to keep soldiers in the colonies, which was an additional expense. People back in England were already being taxed heavily and they did not want to pay the government even more. This is when Parliament (a group of men elected to help rule the British) and the King of England decided to pass some laws that would make the colonists in North America pay for some of the war through new taxes.
These actions made the colonists very angry since they did not like taxes and because British rule did not allow them to participate in elections that would choose men for Parliament. The Americans felt as though their interests and ideas could not be heard in the British government. On top of all this, King George told the colonists they could not move west into newly acquired land from France. This became known as the Proclamation of 1763. Americans were becoming more and more upset that the King and Parliament, who were over 3,000 miles away, were ordering them around!
The new tax laws started with what became known as the Sugar Act. The colonists had to pay an extra amount on a variety of goods imported from other places. This was followed by the hated Stamp Act in 1765. Americans would now be taxed on almost everything written on paper, including playing cards, newspapers, and legal documents.
During this time, some of the colonists began to protest in different ways. Some groups, like the Sons of Liberty, formed to speak and act out against the way Britain was ruling the colonies. Petitions were signed asking King George to change the tax laws. Some also decided to boycott, or refuse to buy, British goods. Meanwhile, a certain phrase could be heard echoing across the land. “No taxation without representation!” became a rallying cry for people who would become known as Patriots. They wanted Americans to have liberty and freedom to make their own laws and to govern themselves.

This cartoon was printed to inspire the colonies to unite.
Road to Revolution
Trouble was clearly brewing in the thirteen colonies. American leaders like James Otis, John Adams, and Samuel Adams began to speak out against laws like the Stamp Act. Sensing problems, the British began sending more troops to North America. By 1770, over 9,000 soldiers were quartered, or housed, in the colonies. This, of course, led to tension between the Redcoats (nickname for the British soldiers) and the Americans. Some people felt like they were becoming prisoners in their own cities!
On the evening of March 5, 1770, an angry crowd in Boston began insulting and throwing objects at a small group of soldiers. Although it is still unclear exactly how it happened, the British opened fire upon the crowd. Five colonists died in what would be called the Boston Massacre. After this tragic event, groups like the Sons of Liberty began to use the Boston Massacre as a way to convince all people in the colonies that the actions of the British government were unacceptable! While many remained Loyalists, or loyal to the King, more began to see the Patriot point of view.
Parliament continued to pass tax laws which further angered the people of the colonies. In 1773, the Sons of Liberty took part in a protest that was later called the Boston Tea Party. To show their feelings toward a law known as the Tea Act, they boarded British tea ships late one night. Disguised as Mohawk Indians, they broke open the chests of tea and dumped three- hundred forty-two of them overboard and into the Boston Harbor. By today's standards this would be worth about one million dollars!
To punish the colonies for their actions, Parliament passed what Americans called the Intolerable Acts . These laws allowed British ships to blockade(block and close down) Boston Harbor until all the money was paid back for the destroyed tea. The British government also took away what little ruling power the colonists had by making General Thomas Gage, the head of the British army in North America, the new governor of Massachusetts.
How would the colonists respond to these Intolerable Acts? In 1774, they decided to hold a meeting in Philadelphia called the Continental Congress. Delegates, or representatives from the colonies, came together to decide what actions should be taken. George Washington, John Adams, and Patrick Henry were a few of the notable delegates in attendance. Congress came to the conclusion that they should formally boycott British goods and refuse to obey any laws that took away their freedom. Whatever happened in the future, they were determined to be united as a group. If change did not come, they would meet again in May of 1775 to decide what would happen next. Well, change did not come after all. While the delegates were making their way to Philadelphia for the Second Continental Congress, an event would take place near Boston that would change the world forever.

Road to Revolution
General Thomas Gage heard rumors that Patriots had been storing weapons in the nearby town of Concord. He also thought that two Patriot leaders, Samuel Adams and John Hancock, were staying in the town of Lexington. Gage sent about seven hundred Redcoats to find the weapons and arrest Adams and Hancock.
Some of the Patriots in Boston realized that the British troops were about to march into the countryside. A few of them, including Paul Revere, went on the famous “Midnight Ride” to warn Adams, Hancock, and other Patriots that troops would soon be arriving.
Samuel Adams and John Hancock escaped without harm, and the weapons were moved before the Redcoats came. Members of the colony's militia began to get ready for a confrontation with the British. These men were called Minutemen because they could be ready to fight in a minute's time! This was crucial because they were normally busy working farms or keeping their shops.
When the troops arrived in Lexington at sunrise, they found a group of Minutemen standing in ranks on the village common. As each side eyed the other, some unknown person fired a shot. This would famously become known as “the shot heard round the world.”
The Revolutionary War had begun. It would prove to be long and tough fight, lasting eight years. It would end with American independence from Britain and the creation of a new country called the United States of America!

All About Zeus
Zeus was the ruler of the gods in Greek mythology. The Greeks considered Zeus as a father figure and a protector, especially of guests and strangers. Zeus was a sky and weather god, especially associated with rain, thunder and lightning. People thought of Zeus living on top of a mountain, and when he got mad he threw lightning bolts out of the sky at people.
The Greek gods Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades were the three sons of the Titans Cronus and his wife Rhea. The three brothers rebelled against Cronus in the War with the Titans and divided up the dominions of the Titans. After the war, Zeus became the ruler of the sky and heavens, Hades became the ruler of the underworld, and Poseidon was given all of the fresh and salt water. It was agreed that the Earth would be ruled by all three gods, with Zeus as the king of the Olympians.
Close Reading Passage
In Greek Mythology the principle Greek gods were referred to as the Twelve Olympians and lived on the summit of Mount Olympus. Mount Olympus was protected by a special layer of clouds. Zeus sat on his great throne in the clouds and ruled over the Olympians with his wife, Hera, who was Queen of the gods.
Zeus’ primary role was to watch over the activities of the other gods to ensure they did not exceed their powers. When Zeus got angry he hurled his thunderbolt at people who deserved it. He was incredibly powerful and was exceedingly terrifying when he was angry. Zeus was also wise, fair, and generous with his praise. Although Zeus was married to Hera, he had several relationships with mortal woman, goddesses, and nymphs. Because of his many relationships with women, Zeus fathered many children. His children included the goddess Aphrodite; and the gods Apollo, Dionysus, and Hermes
As the king of all the gods, there are many myths about the mighty Zeus.

The Sugar Act American Revolution Articles- Road to Revolution Edition
1764 Article 2
The French and Indian War was very expensive for the British. King George III went into debt funding the war, and he needed to pay back his debt. Because the war was mainly fought to keep the land in the colonies, the king felt that the colonists should help pay the debt back.
In 1764, The Sugar Act was passed by the British Parliament and became a law. The Sugar Act set a tax on sugar and molasses that was imported into the colonies. It also increased taxes on coffee and indigo. The Sugar Act also made it illegal to trade with non-British suppliers. This Act mainly affected those that made and sold rum and depended on getting sugar and molasses from the West Indies.
This tax was passed without the consent or support from the colonists. Since the colonists had no say in this tax, they were not happy about it. They called this taxation without representation. When the British Parliament voted to invoke this tax, there was no one there to speak for the colonies. The colonists did not want to pay these taxes. (It was eventually repealed in 1766.)
The Stamp Act In 1765, the British Parliament passed another tax law. This time, the tax applied to paper documents such as newspapers, legal documents, and magazines. All documents had to have a stamp, or British seal, on them to show that the tax had been paid. It cost money for the colonies to buy the paper with the seal on it, which angered colonists since they now had to pay for something that used to be free.
1765
Many colonists were outraged that this tax was passed in the Parliament when they had no one in the Parliament that could speak for the colonies. The slogan, “no taxation without representation” swept through the colonies. The colonists felt that this tax was unfair.
They felt so strongly against this tax that they called a meeting of all of the colonies. In October of 1765, representatives from nine colonies met in New York at what was called The Stamp Act Congress to discuss what should be done. They decided to unite in protest of the tax. Their hope was that the tax would be repealed, or taken away, but the British truly thought it was fair.

The Boston Massacre American Revolution Articles- Road to Revolution Edition
March 5, 1770 Article 5
After the Townshend Acts were passed, the colonists opposed them through boycotts and protests. Many of the Patriots felt that the laws were unfair and did not like the British soldiers that were sent to enforce these laws. Due to this anger, British troops were brought to Boston to help “keep the peace” within the city between the colonists and the British officials.
The colonists were not pleased with the increased number of British soldiers. Many of them would make fun of the soldiers, calling them lobsters or Redcoats. Fights and arguments often broke out between the two groups.
On March 5, 1770, one of these arguments began between some colonists and British Private Hugh White on King Street in Boston. The colonists began to yell at White and eventually threw sticks and snowballs at him as more colonists arrived and joined the taunting (teasing).
Charles Townshend- Creator of the Townshend Acts
More than 50 colonists had gathered when Captain Thomas Preston of the British Army sent several British soldiers to help maintain order. But, when the colonists saw British soldiers arrive with their bayonets, this only made them angrier, causing them to dare the soldiers to fire.
Preston arrived to help get rid of the crowd. The British soldiers were told NOT to fire unless he ordered them to do so. But, an object thrown from the crowd struck Private Montgomery, causing him to fall to the ground. His gun fired. After moments of stunned silence, the confused soldiers fired into the crowd Three colonists died immediately, and two more died later.
Following the shooting, Governor Thomas Hutchinson dispersed the crowd by promising the event would be looked into properly. Eight of the soldiers were arrested and put on trial. They had difficulty finding a lawyer to defend them, but John Adams, a Patriot, finally agreed because he believed they deserved a fair trial. He argued that the soldiers had a right to defend themselves. Six of the soldiers were found notguilty.

The Sons of Liberty American Revolution Articles- Road to Revolution Edition
1765 Article 3
Many colonists were angry about the unfair taxes that the British Parliament was passing on the colonies. American Patriots, colonists who spoke out against the British, joined together in groups called The Sons of Liberty. The first group was created by Samuel Adams of Massachusetts. They went to the streets in protest of the taxes and of the British Parliament. Colonists that were loyal to the king, known as Loyalists, felt that those that protested against the British government were guilty of treason (working against one’s country). The Sons of Liberty wanted freedom to make their own laws and pass their own taxes.
The Sons of Liberty wanted the British Parliament to hear their concerns. They protested, or spoke out against, the taxes. Some wrote letters to Parliament, voicing their opinions. Many boycotted, or refused to buy, British goods. They even went so far as to capture British tax collectors to tar and feather them. They would try to make them quit their job or chase them out of town.
In 1766, because so many colonists opposed the tax, the British Parliament repealed, or took back, the tax. However, as the Stamp Act was repealed, the British Parliament passed the Declaratory Act. Many in the British Parliament thought that the Stamp Act was fair, and they did not like that it was being repealed. The Declaratory Act was passed stating that the British government had the power to legislate over the colonies. This meant that the British Parliament had the right to make laws and pass taxes in the colonies. Soon, more taxes would be passed.
This is a political cartoon that was printed in newspapers when the Stamp Act was repealed. It shows a funeral for the Stamp Act, even with its own coffin.

The Townshend Acts American Revolution Articles- Road to Revolution Edition
1767 Article 4
Charles Townshend was in charge of the British government’s finances, or money. He felt that the British could make money from taxing some of the goods that were imported into the colonies from Britain. This would not be a direct tax, like the Stamp Act, but instead made items like glass, tea, lead, and paint more expensive when it was sent to the colonies. Since these items were not made in the colonies, and had to be bought and shipped directly from Britain, it would be a great chance for the British government to earn some money from the colonies.
This law also set up a new group of tax collectors within the colonies. If the taxes weren’t paid, offenders would be sent to a judge in Britain, appointed by the king, without being heard by a jury. This meant
Charles Townshend- Creator of the Townshend Acts
they had lost the right to a trial by jury if they didn’t pay the taxes or were caught smuggling goods. The colonists found this unjust.
Charles Townshend hoped that these taxes would help pay back their debts from the French and Indian War, plus pay for the British troops that were living in America. It would also pay the salaries of Royal Officials. The colonists responded by boycotting the British goods. The Daughters of Liberty, a group of women that were similar to the Sons of Liberty, asked people to stop drinking British tea. The colonists also smuggled (brought in secretly or illegally) tea from Dutch companies to avoid paying the taxes on British tea.
The colonists were also angry that the Townshend Acts gave the new tax collectors the right to search warehouses and ships without proper authority. These officials were based in Boston, and the colonists became so angry, that the officials sent word that they needed military help. British troops were sent to Boston to protect the tax collectors and the British officials there.
Because many colonists did not buy British goods and few taxes were collected, the British Parliament repealed all of the taxes, except the one on tea, in 1770. However, due to the violent opposition, or disagreement, to the taxes, even more British troops were sent to the colonies. By 1770, about 9,000 British troops were stationed in the colonies. Almost 4,000 of them were in Boston.

The events in Achilles’s life are legends but may have some historical basis. Achilles was the son of Pelus, the king of Phthia in Thessaly, and Thetis, an immortal sea nymph.Soon after Achilles was born, Thetis dipped him in the River Styx, whose m a g i c a l w a t e r w o u l d m a k e h i m invulnerable, like a god. The water did not touch the heel by which Thetis held him. Achilles could not be harmed, except for the one heel.
When the Trojan War began, Agamemnon, the commander of the Greek forces, sent soldiers to recruit Achilles into the Greek army. Achilles accepted and became the best Greek warrior in the Trojan War. In the 10th year of that war, the Greeks defeated the city of Troy.
Achilles heard a prophecy. It was this: he could make a choice to live a long life, quietly and without fame or honor, or he could choose to be famous and remembered always, but to die young. He chose to be famous and die young,
During the last year of the war, Achilles quarreled with Agamemnon, who took away Briseis, a young woman Achilles had captured as a prize of war. In anger, Achilles refused to fight any longer and, without him, the Greek forces began to lose. Achilles allowed Patroclus, his best friend, to join the battle wearing his armor. Patroclus was slain by Hector, the greatest Trojan warrior. Enraged, Achilles returned to the battlefield, slaughtering everyone in his path. He eventually killed Hector, aided by the goddess Athena. According to some stories, Hector's brother Paris shot an arrow into Achilles's heel, and Achilles died from the wound.
later, Achilles met Odysseus in the underworld. Maybe he had made the wrong decision to die young and famous.

All About AthenaClose Reading Passage
Name: _____________________
Athena had a most unusual birth. She was the daughter of Zeus and one of his many women, Metis. Zeus had been warned that if Metis bore a son, he would overthrow Zeus just as Zeus and Cronus had overthrown their own fathers. Zeus decided not to take any chances so he lured Metis close with his sweet words-- and swallowed her!
Soon after, Zeus had a horrible headache. He yelled for help. Hephaestus fetched his ax and split open Zeus’s head. Out of Zeus’s head came Athena, armed for action. She had inherited her mother’s cunning ways and she immediately became her father’s favorite advisor.
Athena held a powerful position in the ancient Greek god world. She was an Olympian, one of the council of 12, who held a seat on Mount Olympus. Athena was a warrior who hated war. She preferred a more peaceful and logical approach to settling fights. Athena became the goddess of wisdom, strategy, and war which is why she is usually shown fully armed, with her shield and sword.
Nearly every town in ancient Greece had a god that looked after the townspeople. Athena became the patron goddess of Athens. She was awarded Athens during the reign of Cecrops, the first king of Athens, as the prize of a contest with Poseidon, who also aspired to have it.
The city of Athens was named after Athena. The people of Athens built the Parthenon to house a huge statue of her for them to worship. The Parthenon is located on the hill of the Acropolis at Athens. It was built in the 5th century BC. Over the centuries, the Parthenon has been greatly damaged, and its sculpture of Athena has been removed.

The First Continental Congress American Revolution Articles- Road to Revolution Edition
1774 Article 8
After the Intolerable Acts were passed, the colonists knew they needed to get together and decide on a plan of action. Colonists from the different colonies met in Philadelphia on September 5, 1774. Included in this Congress were Thomas Jefferson and Patrick Henry. These delegates were chosen by the colonies to represent their colony. They met in Carpenter’s Hall.
The First Continental Congress created a petition, or signed request, to the king. It stated that the colonists had the same rights as the British citizens which included the right to life and liberty, the right to assemble, or gather together, and the right to a trial by jury.
They set May 10, 1775 as the deadline to hear back from the British Parliament. Then, they voted to stop all trade with Britain. They also asked the colonies to form their own militias, or armies.
Patrick Henry was born in Virginia on May 29, 1746. After many attempts at different jobs, Patrick Henry became a lawyer. He was a member of the House of Burgesses, a group of men who governed all of the colonies. In the beginning, this group made decisions that were based around what the king wanted. Later, Patrick Henry, Thomas Paine, and Samuel Adams changed that and made decisions based on what was best for the colonies. When the Parliament wanted the Stamp Act passed, these three men spoke out against it. Many members yelled treason. The king was so angry, he closed down the House of Burgesses. However, the men still met in secret.
Patrick Henry is most famous for his “Give me liberty or give me death!” speech that he made after the British closed the harbor and established the Intolerable Acts. He felt very strongly that it was time for the colonies to have their own government.

At first, Midas's miraculous power pleased him. But soon it became a curse, because even his food turned to gold the moment he touched it. He prayed to Dionysus to help him, and the god told him to bathe in the river Pactolus. Midas washed himself, and the magic touch left him. But the sands of the river turned to gold.
Midas was king of Phrygia, an ancient country in central Asia Minor. Midas had a daughter named Zoe, and he was a wealthy king who had everything you could possibly want, but he still was not happy. Midas thought a huge pile of gold would make him happiest of all.
The god Dionysus gave Midas the power to turn everything he touched into gold, because he had helped Dionysus's teacher Silenus. Midas was very eager to try out his new golden touch!
Midas learned a very valuable lesson. He now loved the brightness of life instead of the luster of gold. To celebrate, he gave away the rest of his money and possessions and moved to a cabin on the edge of the forest. There, having learned life’s most valuable lesson, he and his daughter enjoyed the wonders of the fields and forest, and never forgot where true happiness is found.

Battles of Lexington and Concord American Revolution Articles- Road to Revolution Edition
April 19, 1775 Article 9
After the First Continental Congress, the colonies created militias, or armies. These soldiers were called Minutemen because they were said to be ready for battle at a minute’s notice. General Thomas Gage heard that these militias were formed and that they had weapons in Concord, Massachusetts. He also heard that Samuel Adams and John Hancock would be meeting in nearby Lexington. He planned to send more than 700 British soldiers to arrest Adams and Hancock, the leaders of the Sons of Liberty, and to take all of the weapons being stored in Concord.
General Thomas Gage wanted to surprise the colonists. He wanted the soldiers to destroy the colonists’ weapons, and on the way to Concord, they would go through Lexington to arrest Adams and Hancock. The soldiers left Boston at night on April 18,
1775. They thought that no one had noticed that they left. They did not realize the colonists were watching them.
The colonists had a plan. If the soldiers were moving by land, they would put one lamp in the church tower. If they were moving by sea, they would put two lamps in the church tower. This was the signal to the colonists that the soldiers were on the move. Paul Revere, William Dawes, and Dr. Samuel Prescott were sent to warn the leaders. Revere saw two lamps in the church tower and knew that the soldiers were coming by ship to the Charles River. The three men took different routes and went by horseback warning the colonists that the Redcoats were coming. They made it to Lexington and warned Adams and Hancock, who also left their homes and headed towards Concord.

However, after leaving Lexington, Revere and Dawes were spotted by British patrol and their horses were taken away. Luckily, Dr. Prescott was able to get away and made it to Concord to warn the colonists there. Lexington
In the early morning of April 19, 1775, British soldiers marched into Lexington. Awaiting them were 70 Minutemen on the Lexington Green. Both sides were told not to fire unless they were fired upon.

The British Army headed towards Concord, 5 miles away, expecting the colonists to run away here, too. The British entered Concord and began searching for the weapons and ammunition. Most of the colonists moved to the other side of the North Bridge and watched the British. As they waited, more militia arrived from surrounding towns.
Major John Pitcairn of the British told the colonists to lay down their arms and disperse. Captain John Parker, in charge of these Minutemen, told them to go home. Many men started walking away, but suddenly a shot was heard. It is unknown who fired the shot, but it is known as “The shot heard ‘round the world” since it was the start of the
British entering Concord by Amos Doolittle
The British began setting fire in Concord. The Americans got very angry and decided to cross the North Bridge towards the British troops standing guard. The British begin firing, and the Americans fired back. The British soon realized that the Patriot soldiers were growing in number so they retreated across the North Bridge. The Patriots did not stop. They continued firing from behind trees and stone walls. They followed the soldiers all the way back to Boston, and more militias joined them as they went. It was a devastating defeat for the British.
This was the first battle that gave the Americans confidence that they could fight for liberty. It also showed the rest of the world that the colonists would fight for their freedom. This was the beginning of the Revolutionary War.

The Boston Tea Party American Revolution Articles- Road to Revolution Edition
December16, 1773 Article 6
The British Parliament only allowed the colonists to buy tea from them. On top of that, they put a tax on the tea that they were buying. This made the colonists very angry, and so many colonists boycotted, and refused to buy British tea.
In late November and early December of 1773, three ships arrived in the Boston Harbor. The tea tax was to be paid as soon as the cargo was unloaded from the ship. The colonists
did not want to pay the tax, and so they refused to allow the cargo to be unloaded. Samuel Adams called a meeting and the Patriots decided that they would demand that the ship be sent back to England. Governor Thomas Hutchinson refused this demand. The Sons of Liberty felt they had no other option but to destroy the tea to avoid paying the dreaded tea tax. They organized three groups, one for each ship. Over 200 men helped with this endeavor, including Paul Revere.
The Patriots dumped 342 chests of tea into the Boston Harbor. This does not sound like a lot, but it was dried tea and totaled 90,000 pounds. It was actually worth a lot of money. Today, it would be around $1 million worth of tea! It was stated that nothing, other than the tea, was destroyed. The Patriots did not hurt the crew or captain, nor did they destroy the ship. They dumped the tea and left.
While many Patriots agreed with what happened the night of the Boston Tea Party, there were many colonists who did not believe this was the right thing to do. Either way, this event got the attention of the colonists and the king.

The Intolerable Acts American Revolution Articles- Road to Revolution Edition
1774 Article 7
After the Boston Tea Party, the British Parliament was angry with the colonists. They enforced a new set of laws for the colonies as punishment. They also wanted the colonists to know that they were in charge. These laws were known as the Intolerable Acts because they were intolerable, or difficult and unbearable. First off, the British Navy blocked the Boston Harbor. They did this because this was a very busy port, and a lot of trade went through the Boston Harbor. They knew this would hurt the colonists because they
would not be able to receive shipments of goods they needed. They would not be able to export goods they needed to sell, either. This hurt the colonists. The British wanted the tea paid for, and would keep it blocked until they had made the money back for that tea.
Another part of this law stated that the Massachusetts legislature could not meet without the permission of British General Thomas Gage. He had to approve all of their meetings. Town officials were no longer allowed to be elected, but had to be appointed, or chosen, by the Royal Governor. The Intolerable Acts also stated that those headed for trial could be sent to Britain and heard under a British judge.
The Intolerable Acts also forced the colonists to quarter, or house, the British soldiers. This meant the British soldiers could live in the colonists’ houses and the colonists were in charge of feeding them. Many colonists found this to be unacceptable! They did not like having the British government telling them what they had to do.
Samuel Adams set up the Committee of Correspondence in 1764. This enabled the colonies to send information to each other on what was happening in each colony. The British Parliament had hoped that the Intolerable Acts would isolate, or separate,
Boston, 1774, by Paul Revere

the New England colonies from the other colonies, but they were wrong. Due to the Committee of Correspondence, the New England Colonies were able to get word to all of the colonies through letters and newspaper articles about what was happening with the British. The colonists were outraged at how the British were treating them. They helped the New England colonies by sending goods to them while the Boston Harbor was shut down. This was the first step in uniting the colonies against Britain.
