How it relates to the National History Day theme.
The Theme: "How is it a turning point in history? Such as people, ideas, or events."
My topic relates to the National History Day Theme because it was a time during our new country that things were starting to change.
It started when the British won the French and Indian War. The British needed a way to get money to pay off their debt. They saw the new country, The United States of America, as an opportunity to gain that money. The colonists (those in favor of freedom) wanted a change, and they didn't like the British's way of doing things around there. The Colonists rebelled against the British, but they knew that there was going to be some heavy costs involved. The costs included: loss of land, possible death, and the possibility of loosing and going into even more debt. Also, the colonists did some terrible things to the British, they took the tax-collectors captive, poured hot tar onto them, forced them to drink lots of tea, and dumped a bag of chicken feathers all over the tax collector. That is how my topic, how the Boston Tea Party sparked the start of the Revolutionary War, is related to the NHD theme.
