Before in American people used to do everything they liked until the United States Constitution happened. The Constitution made rules like you cannot just shoot anyone you walk up to or you cannot fire a rocket launcher at your neighbor's house. Before when the Constitution was made people would die more often because you, your friends and strangers could kill anyone and nothing would happen to any of you. You would not go to jail but the person that was killed, his friend or family member might kill you and then it may start both of the families hating each other and then it will become chaos but it cannot happen because now people will go to jail for doing that or they would be killed by the police that is why they made the constitution, it made the country have less deaths but some people still kill people but those people are less common now.

Not only American have a constitution there are also constitutions on other countries but some places that is not really nice do not have a constitution but they might have one later but it might take a long time or a short time but it might we are not sure, it might never but it will probably have one but, it may not have a constitution because the world will get destroyed. There are a lot of constitutions there is a constitution in Russia, US ( of course ), Canada, Philippines and other constitutions. The US constitution was made a long time ago more than two hundred years ago, I think the original constitution paper is destroyed because it is too old but I think because it was made two hundred years ago maybe it was not destroyed but maybe only some parts of the constitution paper are destroyed or lost.

The person who signed the US Constitution was George Washington. A lot of people liked the constitution but some people did not like it but most people liked it because less deaths, less injures and less thieves, the US was a lot worse when they did not have the constitution, you could get your stuff stolen, one of your friends might be because of a random person, you could lose an arm or a leg because of a random person and you might get killed by a guy does not like you, but they only had muskets but muskets were not so strong but they could blast off a head but not easily if you are far away, but if there was no Constitution right now in the US, a guy would have like an assault rifle or another dangerous weapon but before it was not really dangerous because they only had muskets but they made more new guns that were stronger than muskets.

The constitution was really good and was a really good idea because good people don't go to jail and bad people go to jail but before is good people don't go to jail and bad people don't go to jail also. Good people would also die more than the bad people because a bad person might shoot him and kill him, nothing will happen to the bad person but another bad person might kill him. It was scary to go outside before there was not constitution because people could kill you or you might see a person with a musket or something like that, but now random people cannot just buy guns to kill people they are only allowed to use it as a self defense weapon from a random person that buys a gun and shoots random people. Any way this is the end of my American history blog post.

Who Won American Revolution

Well the Americans won the American revolution that is why it is called the American revolution. George Washington ( the first president of the US ) was fighting in the war, he was actually a general. He became a president later and he was strong in the war because if was not, he would be shot so he was famous for being a president and a general in the war. He was really important to the US when he was a general and when he was a president, because if there was not a general some of the soldiers would not fight and if there was no president some things might go wrong because there is no person to make rules and if that would happen the country would be out of control and then America would not be a good place because a guy could just walk up to you then shoot you and he would not get in trouble.

A lot of people died on both sides but more people died on the British side because they lost. The Americans lost a lot of troops but not all like George Washington did not die in the war. After the war he became a president, only the strongest soldiers lived. Probably some of the soldiers were not fighting much and they lived because they were a coward and did not want to die but the brave people died but some lived. The British used slaves to fight but also the British fought but they were losing so they forced slaves to fight for them and they definitely did not want to fight but maybe some wanted to fight but most of the slaves did not like working, most of them probably did not want to kill anyone but some wanted to kill the British and some wanted to kill the Americans.

During the American revolution people used horses not cars and it would be easier to ride cars because they are faster than horses and less dangerous than horses because when your riding a horse you have a chance of the horse knocking you down and break your bones, the worst bones it could break is the arms or the legs or head, the legs are important because you walk and run with them, there was probably not any wheelchairs, you need your arms because you have to grab guns in a war you cannot just have a gun stuck in your chest and someone have to shoot the enemies ( WAT DOES THAT MEAN!? ) and the head is for thinking, eating and speaking, if you did not have one you would die ( of course ).  They used cannons in the war and they were strong but slow, the people with the guns were a bit strong but fast to move.

The slaves worked for the British right but they did not have to join the war they could stay with their slave master or kill the Americans then become free, most people chose to join the British but some would rather stay both ways are bad but in the war is a less painful way to die because, the slave master will hurt you a lot but not kill you but if you get shot in the war it will hurt a lot then you will die then feel less pain, I think joining the war was better than staying with a horrible slave master. The British's plan was capturing all the places and make the Americans give up but the Americans all they had to do is not to give up and they did not give up but the British's plan was smart but the Americans did not give up.  

Taxes & Smuggling - Prelude to Revolution

People started the revolution by smuggling and taxes because taxes are kinda annoying because you have to pay the government and if you don't they take your stuff and that helped start the revolution because the people do not like paying the taxes but the government were fine with it but they were not really happy when the people rebelled and started using guns and stuff because the government were government died at the end but then there was another government in America and they use taxes so, the taxes are still there. Smuggling is illegal ( illeagle ) but taxes are not, smuggling was bad because you would not anyone stealing your stuff but if you smuggle you won't really care but the person you smuggled from would be really really angry because nobody likes loosing their stuff ( especially their computer ) because the thing might be important to you.

The American revolution is not really good or bad because it had a lot of death in it but it changed America to the America now, so what do you think it is good or bad I am not sure because of those two reasons, so I think you should wright what you think in the comments but you also might not be sure but I think it is a little bit better than none because it led to the America now because if it is not the America now the world would be a lot more different because another country might win the world war and that would change a lot and if they are bad that would be even worse so I think it is good but not so good because some people died but people have to die some day but the government in the old days did not like the revolution.

Smuggling is bad, some people still smuggle but they can be caught and be killed or they can be put in jail for a few months or years, so smuggling is really annoying but the person who smuggled it does not feel annoyed he feels happy that he got a thing he wanted but sometimes they just smuggle a thing that they don't want but that is uncommon for a smuggler to do that but sometimes if they don't find what they want they won't steal anything but they have a high chance of stealing about one thing ( that is why you lock your doors at night or when you are going out but if you don't lock your doors if you go out at day when you go out it has a low chance of a smuggler coming ). The government usually hate smugglers because they steal from the people and the people will complain and the smugglers will sometimes steal from them.

The stamp act was annoying because every printed thing had to had a stamp and the stamps were not free. It was annoying because you had to pay and this affects people who use a lot of paper like newspaper makers they use lots of paper because their job is making newspaper and they had use stamps on them and they have to make a lot of newspapers so they were really annoyed and the government got more money but the normal people were losing money. All this started the revolution just smuggling and taxes started a big war, where some people got heavily injured and died, but if they did not make taxes, they might of not start the revolution and then America might be different and the world would be a lot more different, because the rebelling Britons might not be rebelling so America would not have the Americans now.

Would you be annoyed if you made newspapers and you always had to pay the government when you make one newspaper and you make a lot of newspapers each day, so you have to pay each day and you might loose all your money but it is good for the government because they might build a building that helps a lot but sometimes the government is bad and they just buy stuff for themselves and that is not nice and nobody likes to live in a place with a government that is like that but it is great to have a good government but you lose money but it is not bad because you do not have to pay so much well only if you were alive in the stamp act and you were a newspaper factory worker you would be really angry. Any way this is the end of my post.
