Winthrop: A Strong Leader
I believe that Winthrop would be a strong leader. Though I don't believe he would make it in politics in America today. Certain beliefs that he has would not go along with todays views. We have a separation of church from state, which I don't think he would understand. People have many different beliefs in America now. Which I don't think he would understand. He also wouldn't understand equality for all, which is a big thing now. We have democracy which he didn't believe in.

    The Boston Tea party was a political protest that took place on December 16, 1773 after the colonists got fed up with paying taxes on British tea. The British parliament put taxes on their imports to America. After colonists thought this was illegal and unfair, the British parliament stopped taxing all goods except tea. Few years later they passed out the Tea Act, which brought out the East India Company to relieve their debt. This company actually earned a lot of money by trading with America but the colonists thought this would put local British tea sellers out of business due to no customers. This led the Sons of Liberty to overthrow 342 crates of tea from the East India Company into the Boston Harbor.…

    I, Charles Inglis, have grown to be a loyalist in colonial North America. I was born 1734, in the Republic of Ireland. I was given a private education and due to my father’s death, I was never able to attend a University. During my twenties, I moved to America.

    “Our contest is not only whether we ourselves shall be free, but whether there shall be left to mankind an asylum on earth for civil and religious liberty.” Samuel Adams wasn’t just any ordinary representative whom signed the Declaration of Independence, but probably the most important of the men people know nothing about.
