October 19, 1774

Dear New Notebook,

Carleton’s Recommendations (the Quebec Act) were passed just a few days ago. And it kind of ruined the plan of assimilating the French. Well that’s the big news so far. There hasn’t really been a lot going on so I don’t know when I will write to you next.

That’s all I have so far.

Love,

Dear New Notebook,

Remember I was telling you about the Quebec Act? Well, the act kind of ignored the Thirteen Colonies, and gave the Ohio Valley to Quebec instead. The Thirteen Colonies are really upset and have wanted that land for decades. I felt really sorry for them until…I heard they were planning a revolt. They tried to get Quebec and Nova Scotia on their side but, neither of them wanted to get involved. Not long after they began a war (Britain and the Thirteen Colonies). And the Thirteen Colonies weren’t doing very well.

Love,

Samantha Jones

Dear New Notebook,

Ever since the war between Britain and the Thirteen Colonies began; many people have been in danger. Even the people that tried to stay in the middle would still, be targeted for abuse. I mean ridiculous. There was this guy from New Jersey, Thomas Randolph, and he was kind of being a traitor to his country, and do you know what they did to him? They stripped him, then covered him in tar and feathers, then put him in a wagon and sent him out on the streets. I mean, don’t you think that’s a little uncalled for? Well whatever; what can I do now.

Well anyways…the war is still going strong so I don’t know when I will write back, but it will most likely be when the war is over, so until then…

Love,

Samantha Jones
