Introduction & Conclusion:

Introduction: Hello, everyone we are in Old Sturbridge village now. We will have lots of fun. We will be going to Oliver White's tavern, and the Museum. We will be discussing Old World New World and how England thought of the colonies like their children. Come here I'll talk to you more about that in the museum.

 

Conclusion: So, that was pretty cool, right? Now since England kept treating the colonies like children, the colonies said, "No, We aren't going to deal with this anymore" So England pretty much said, "Uh, you mess with us, then we will raise your taxes" And after that was said and done and the colonists poured the tea in to the ocean, the Revolutionary war was started and the rest was History.
