Hello everyone I’m back for a brief blog post today called a formative post. Its a half way mark for our new project Storm The Barricade. It hasn’t been too long since I wrote one of these post. So we started a new project called Storm The Barricade. We have to make a machine and it has to describe the different phases of a revolution, and I say (have) because its still going we haven’t finished it. You people behind your screens are probably saying to your self “ then why are you writing a blog post then” well because this is a formative blog post. A mid way post in a more simpler term.
So lets start it of with a bang. The American Revolution, what a revolution it was. Nothing like musket fire to wake up to in the morning. Nothing like throwing tea into the ocean to send a message. All jokes aside this was a very interesting revolution. So Britain vrs what is now known as America if you want a recap here it is. It all started in the 1620’s a ship called Mayflower full of pilgrims sailed from Great Britain to North America. They landed on the beach and started to build a home. They later made what was known as the 13 colonies. Even though they had sailed away from England they still were loyal to the king. Eventually they were fed up of being loyal to the king and wanted to build their own land. King George was not happy but since they were still British he started charging taxes because after the seven year war England was poor. He taxed their tea, sugar and property but taxing them was not fair because they were not represented in Britain. So they dumped the tea In to the ocean and started building an army lead by George Washington. So when the kings tax men showed up to collect they started to tar and feather the tax men and make straw fakes and burning them. Then they really had enough and actually tied the tax men up and lit them on fire. This started the American revolutions crisis stage. The king then sent soldiers to fight the Americans and take back what the land he wanted. To make a long story short the Americans won and pushed Britain out. After that the founding fathers signed and passed the Declaration of Independence and Britain left America alone.
So we have built our machines and have done the first of two mods for the American and French revolutions. We have gotten up to the American mod. By we I mean me aka josh, Amy and Erin click on there names to see their blogs. We still have a week and by next Monday there will be another post so look out for that one. All we have really done with are mod is make it America themed. So the machine starts by a person dropping marbles into a tube that then land in a teeder todder. Which has a razor blade on one end that pops a balloon that releases a tea bag that knocks down king George the III. That releases the Declaration of Independence. That is what are machine does. That’s all for now.
Any way that is a checking on what we have been up to Bye for now. 👋
