"For my part, when I consider that in dreams I do not often nor constantly think of the same persons, places, objects, and actions that I do waking, nor remember so long a train of coherent thoughts dreaming as at other times; and because waking I often observe the absurdity of dreams, but never dream of the absurdities of my waking thoughts, I am well satisfied that, being awake, I know I dream not; though when I dream, I think myself awake."

I'm giving a CD to a former student for Christmas. I'd like to include a killer quote in the card- something girl-powerish and inspirational (not necessarily Biblically inspirational). I've got a couple from Maya Angelou in mind, but so far nothing has spoken to me as being the one. Do you have any quotes that are particularly moving to you?

Britain and the colonies had just fought together against the French in the French and Indian war and won. Soon after problems started to arise and before anyone knew it the colonies and Britain were getting ready for the Revolutionary War. But don’t you wonder why the colonists declared a Revolutionary War on Britain? I think they were sick of their freedom being limited. Such as being told were they can settle, be taxed on everyday items, and being told what they could do.

Britain passed the Proclamation of 1763. It stated that colonists could not settle west of the Appalachian Mountains. In order to prevent another up rise like Pontiac’s Rebellion, Britain wanted to keep the land with the Native American allies. Another war with the Native Americans would’ve put Britain in extreme debt. Many of the colonists had no land of their own. It also caused colonists to lose their money after buying land as an investment. When the Proclamation of 1763 was passed the colonists were upset because they felt they didn’t get the freedom that they earned, after winning the French and Indian War.

Since Britain was in debt after the war they turned to the colonies for money. In 1764 Parliaments passed The Sugar Act. The Sugar Act taxed goods such as sugar, molasses, and other goods. In 1765 Parliament passed the Quartering Act. The Quartering Act required colonists to house British soldiers and provide them with supplies they needed. Parliaments also passed another law called The Stamp Act. This law required all legal and commercial documents to carry and official stamp showing that a tax had been paid. The colonists had to pay for stamps with silver coins which were a limited item in the colonies.

The Coercive Acts also known as the Intolerable Acts by the colonists, would close the Port of Boston, banned the Committees of Correspondence, allow Britain to house British soldiers wherever needed, and let British officials accused of crimes in the colonies stand trial in Britain. This act only affected Massachusetts but the other colonies felt as if this could happen to Massachusetts it could happen to them as well. The colonies offered Massachusetts their help by sending clothes, food and money. By doing this act of kindness they felt that they were helping them in their time of need.
