Tasks

Thank you again for all your diligence! I just know with you helping I will find my son. The information you gave me about Paul Revere and the Boston Tea Party have indeed proved to be useful. I can’t believe Paul was that foolish, but I guess we Americans finally had to stand up for ourselves. With the information you gave me I was able to press a bit further and did discover my son was at that silly event. Afterwards he left Boston, out of fear of being arrested. I am told he may have gotten involved in some kind of tax issue with England. I think this is our best shot yet at finding him.

1) Find out all you can about something called the Coercive (or maybe it was called Intolerable…) Acts. Also include with this study the Boston Port Act, my son loves Boston, so anything that has to do with our great town he will certainly be involved with it.

2) I also need you to tell me everything you can find out about the First Continental Congress. When and where does it convene, and what it is all about.

Instructions

Please get back to me by no later than a week. Once again Mr. Postma knows how to get a hold of me, so leave him you letter. I expect you letter to be thorough, so make sure it is a minimum of 3 pages double-spaced. Thank you for all you help! To finish this quest, go to Nicholas is Found.
