Lets Tax people

Lord North said it was a money looser so...
Kind George Did not want to stop taxing
So the Townshend Act was Cancelled But the Tea Tax was Kept Up
a Rocky snowball fight with guns broke out between
The colonists and soldiers right after the cancellation of Townshend Act
This was called The Boston Massacre 1770
5 Bostonians were dead and 6 injured
Paul Revere then drew a picture
Making the Bostonians look Peaceful And Soldiers look guilty
