Maybe the colonists would send a “break up” text message to the Parliament and King George of England.
Dear Georgie,
I’m not sure how this text but I feel we need to talk. I’ve been thinking about us a lot lately. Things used to be so great-it was like we were M.F.E.O. I mean everyone said it was perfect. I really thought we would be together forever but things changed. I feel like you started to take me for granted. You just started to do whatever you wanted and never even asked me about how I felt.
I’ve been thinking about this for a while and I don’t want to hurt you but I think it is time we broke up. I mean it is just not going to work. I need some time to myself to see what it is like on my own. I’m sorry things didn’t work out but I think YOU are the one to blame. Sorry but “US’ is over.

Do you think this would be an effective way to “break up” with England? Why or why not?
If you were writing the text message to King George and Parliament- what would you include in your text message (what would you say)?
this is the worst effective way to break up with england .we think that you should facetime king george dylan m
i think it is not effective because want if you could not reach each other so you should text eachother.
jillian.c sophia.h
you should use more kinds words because he is a king and you have to respect him .#2 i would say sorry this is over. insted of saying i blaming you
This is not an effective way. The did not give evidence. They should have done it in person.
Dear George,
It has been fun, but we are done. One reason is the Boston Tea Party. You wanted to tax us and we don’t want to be taxed.

I don’t think that the break up was efeictive because they it could of been anyone because they just said American Colonists at the end
1: I don’t think this would be an effective way to “break up” with England because it sounds more like a break up than someone wanting to get their own independence.
2: If I was texting to George I would add more details and be more straight forwards.
if i was writing this to king george i would say i am breaking up with him because the taxes were to high!

jeslieD,danielA-we think its not a efective way to”brake up” because he doesn’t care and he doesnt take things for gradient.And if i was the person texting the message we would inclued that georgie takes things for gradient and doesn’t care what other people say and that he doesnt listen.
No we don’t think so because if the send a text but king george wont text back because he still wants the us.
We would give reasons as to why we want our own government.

1. I don’t think it is efective because the colonists are not face to face with king George and the colonists do not have evidence for why they should be independent.
2. They should do it in person.
One example is the Boston Tea Party. You wanted to tax us and we don’t want to be taxed.
Amy and Jonathan
1: I think that a effective way to “break up” with England is
to state facts and reason to “break up” with England.
2:What I would say to England is ” I’m sorry that this is not working I think we are done. It’s you not me, you are the one
making this ,”Us”,not work. Bye .

No I don’t think this would be an effective way to persuade King George because they didn’t mention the high taxes and their freedom.
If I were writing to King George I would include the high taxes and freedom.
No i don’t think this was a good way to break up.I think this because they should do it face to face.
I think this is a good way to break up because this way no one will get hurt and there will be no physical fighting. I would say reasons why you should break up.
Madeline and Brian
I don’t think this because if it was one letter it would take a while for that letter to spread. If the colonists protested, King George would order troops fast. The letter even might get lost and never spread at all.

I think that this would not be an effective way to break up with England. This was Once said by King George “America Is Like my brother.” King George would not accept this as an appropriate way of saying good bye. And even though King George is realizing the fact that he is taking advantage of the colonists, he is thinking he might just get away with keeping his “brother” also known as the colonists. This is why I don’t think that this would be effective.
In my writing to King George I would include him talking about the boston massacre as a supporting detail to add. This might help give some more evidence so King George can’t refuse. Als I would add in some other acts such as the “Boston tea party and the french and indian war. This is what I would add to my text message to King George.

NO. I do not think that this is an effective way to “break up” with England. I think this because they did not show their anger and didn’t make their point clear until the end.
I would write “I want independents from you. You are treating me horribly and I will not stop until I get RESPECT from you, England!!!” They should also include how angry they are about taxation without representation. Why not go back to the olden days and tell them how horrible they treated us….The Boston Massacre.
1. Yes, because they wrote it like there actually breaking up like in a relationship. We think that it means that they were working together and then said this isn’t going to work.
2. We would include that they were working together so it doesn’t sound so much like a relationship.

I don’t think this is effective because King George III can delete the text message or ignore it. I think this because The American Colonies did not include enough information about what Parliament did to the colonies to persuade King George III.
I would write more information on what Parliament was doing including The Stamp Act, The Sugar Act, The Townshend Acts, The Quartering Act, and The Boston Massacre.
No I do not think it is a good way to break up because I think they should do it face to face.
I would include saying why they wanted to break up.
Justin J
1) NO, because the colonists wanted freedom from Britain rule, because they have been making unfair laws for the colonists.
2) I would message King George saying that I wanted my ways of doing some things not doing the ways others tell me too, But not stuff inappropriate or undignified acts.
I don’t think this is a effective break up letter because they should of done it face face and included more about King
George taking them for granted.
Madison H.
Yes we do approve this message because it includes the right evidence (and enough evidence) to support why we should have independence.I think that if we wrote a new declaration of Independence, we would include exactly what he did and how we should be under are a different country.
Daniela.C and Katie.C
Isabelle .Z Daniel .P
No we think that the text message is not very effective because they need to declare independence if think that there not getting treated right .
I think it is not an effective way to break up because they should of did it face to face not on text.
I would say sorry this is not working it’s not me it’s you and I think we should break up. He should of said it with more feeling because he said it directly to him without saying why and he is sorry.

Dear King George,
I want to be honest but I don’t think you’re great king. Why would you raise TAXES???? We want taxes to be back to normal, but you decide to ignore us because you WANT to do whatever you want. Have you thought about us? America? I guess not that is why we declare Independence
See you later from,
Thomas
P.S See you at war!!!!
Daniel and Isabelle
we would say ”declare independence for once”
