Every year, hundreds of people came over from England, and there were many large towns up and down the Atlantic coast.  \nBut into all this peace and success came a war. This war, fought between 1754 and 1763, was called the Seven Years’ War. Part of this war was fought in North America, where it was called the French and Indian War. England had a great debt from this expensive war, and thought the colonies should help to pay it, because part of the war was fought to protect the American colonies.  \nFrench and Indian War  \nThe colonies were willing to help if England would do certain things for them that they thought England ought to do. But England was not willing todo these things. Then, a new war came, this war between the mother country and the colonies—the Revolutionary War, or American Revolution, as it was  \ncalled. Americans fought this war to gain independence from Great Britain.  \nThe American colonies swore to gain their freedom in the Declaration of Independence, which they signed on July 4, 1776, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. This was done at a meeting of the Continental Congress.  \nAmerican Revolution  \nindependence  \nThis is the house of John Hancock, which faced Boston Common. John Hancock was the first person to sign the Declaration of Independence.  \nHere is the Declaration of Independence. Can you find and circle John Hancock’s large signature?  \n\"Our soldiers will need warm stockings and blankets and woolen clothing,\" said the colonial women. So they set to work to spin yarn and weave cloth for the soldiers. The boys and girls did their share. When the British soldiers came, the American people were ready for them.  \nThe English soldiers first made their camp upon the common in the town of Boston, better known as Boston Common.  \nBoston Common  \n1. What war was fought in North America between 1754 and 1763?  \na. American Revolution  \nb. Civil War  \nc. French and Indian War  \nd. World War I  \n2. When was the Declaration of Independence signed?  \n\"This is a good place for us,\" they said. \"We will make the Boston people bring us food. And then, too, from this common we can keep good watch on the harbor.\"  \nBoston harbor  \nOn the common there was a fine pond, and here, the Boston boys liked to skate and slide.  \n\"We mustn't fail in spelling tomorrow, boys,\" said one boy as heran off down the street. The boys laughed, for they well knew that if they didn't learn their lesson, there would be no skating for them.  \nThe next morning was cold and clear. \"Good weather for the ice,\"thought every boy as he crept out of  \nbed. As soon as school was over, away the boys hurried to the pond.  \nBut alas for their plans for a good hour's skating! The ice had been broken everywhere; and it had frozen again with a rough and uneven surface.  \n\"Those British redcoats have done this,\" cried the boys.  \nBritish redcoats  \nCertainly, the English soldiers would have been terrified if they had heard the threats those Boston boys made. But there were no redcoats insight, and the disappointed boys went home.  \ndisappointed  \nA few days later the ice thawed. There came a heavy rain, followed by a week of frost.  \n\"Now we shall have skating,\" the boys said. And again they watched the ice.  \nThe redcoats, too, watched the ice, and they watched the boys as well. One night, they went again to the pond and broke the ice with their heavy boot heels.  \n\"We have nothing else to do,\"they said. \"And it is fun to see the little Yankees angry.\"  \nYankees  \nOn the next afternoon came the boys with their skates, and again they found the ice broken. Then one of the boys spoke out.  \n\"They have no right to break our ice,\" he cried. \"Let us go to General Gage, and tell him what his men have done.\"  \nGeneral Gage  \nAway the boys ran, straight up to the door of the great British general's house.  \n\"Why do you come here?\" asked the general's servant.  \n\"We came to ","cbCaihN4GfNvDglL","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaihN4GfNvDglL","pdf",1424301,"English","# The Boston Boys - Historical Background\n## Seven Years’ War and the French and Indian War\n## The American Revolution and Independence\n# Boston Common and the Declaration\n## John Hancock and the signature\n## Colonial women’s contributions\n# Boston Boys and the Ice\n## Skate plans and British redcoats\n## Visiting General Gage\n# After the War\n## Thirteen colonies and naming the United States\n## George Washington and inauguration\n# Review Questions\n## War identification (1754-1763)\n## Date of the Declaration of Independence\n## Complaints about breaking the ice\n## First U.S. president","[{\"question\":\"What war was fought in North America between 1754 and 1763?\",\"answer\":\"It was the Seven Years’ War, and part of it was called the French and Indian War in North America.\"},{\"question\":\"When was the Declaration of Independence signed?\",\"answer\":\"It was signed on July 4, 1776 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.\"},{\"question\":\"Who became the first president of the United States?\",\"answer\":\"George Washington became the first president of the United States after being selected by the people.\"}]","The Boston Boys - Comprehension Workbook | PDF",1792382698,18]
