Keaton History week 2

In the late 1600's, England realized that they had forgotten about America - probably assuming that it wouldn't grow. But quite on the contrary, America was blossoming and blooming into a wonderful country, and becoming a sought after place to live. The people there were thriving and living well. But England became jealous and arrogant. The King decided to force tax on objects imported to the states. Different laws were passed and the taxes started to get higher - but the Americans fought back. They were determined to learn how to manufacture their own goods such as clothes, furniture, soap, and candles. They also learned how to make their own ships, becoming significantly successful at fishing and whaling.
