No Taxation Without Representation

Everyone got a cup and sat down.Inside the cups were little green Mints.(aka tax money.) Three people did not have cup, two of the people were the tax collectors and the other person was the king.When the king said a character traits and an amount of money, as in,(If you have blue eyes pay one dollar.)you would have to pay one mint.I was a colonist so I paid until I had one mint left, then the game was over, and the king had a basket full of mints.(She didn’t get to keep them.)

What I learned from this was how the colonists felt.I felt cheated because I had to pay three dollars for having brown hair!They felt angry, cheated, and poor.They felt rage twourds the king the king.
