Post #3: The Quebec Act

 March 11, 1776

Dear Journal,

I am horrible at writing every week. Two year catch up. The Quebec Act worked but the Thirteen Colonies have been mad because we gave the Ohio Valley to Quebec instead of them. In 1775, the Colonies were really mad. They had these meetings; I think they were called the Continental Congress. I even think that they asked Quebec and Nova Scotia to be part of the Congress but thankfully they refused the offer.

I don’t remember writing this, but I’ll tell you again anyway. Back in 1765, our parliament told the Colonists to pay a tax for every piece of paper that they used. I personally think that was a little harsh. But the money was used to pay some of the costs of defending the colonies. But they got mad that they had to spend so much money to write a letter that they organized a boycott which caused us to cancel the Act in 1766.
