About colonial
house

There were many good things about my house like there were 3
floors I will tell a little about each of the three floors. But first let
me tell you about the basics of a colonial house first. The house
is made of wood.All the wood came from nearby forests but you
probably you made houses that are made out of brick .

The first floor has the kitchen and the dining table. It also has
the beginning of the chiming aslo has the fireplace instead of
heating form the future. The stone came from caves nearby If
you had a fire place .

My toilets were out houses you go inside and do your business . A picture of a colonial
They were out in your backyard or in your front yard.But in the house
night it is a whole other story since there are animals like bears
and wolves we have something called a chamber pot. We would
use that instead of going to the out house the bad thing is we
have to empty it pew pew But you just you don't have to do it
luckey .

My clothing is awesome

You probably have shirts or shoes But I dress differently. I will tell This is a that
you about my clothing. colonial
women
Also you would need to have the cloths that I were like mine so Youse to ware
you should dress up with tricorne hats and shoe buckles okay you
look awesome so let’s go to my room to tell about clothing.

If you were rich you had your cloths would be transported from
Europe on a ship. If you were poor you would make your
clothing.Also if you were a man you would be wearing a wig. If you
were rich then you have a wig that is made out of real hair.The
cheaper opstine is a goat hair wig.

The men wore breaches they also wared really long socks they
also wared long pants that had buttons they also warned tricorne
hats. The women had to wear ankle down dresses.They also wore
aprons and bonits.

Let me tell you how people made their clothes including how to
color their dresses. First they would cut the sheeps wool of then
they would.Then they would wove them together.So finally you get
to die them with plants like indigo ,Iris, Goldare, cranberries.

Oh no late for work These are pictures
of a colonial
In the colonial times had many jobs this part of the blacksmith and
book will tell you about the job people had. carpenter.

Many jobs had many purpose like black smith it
helped by .A silversmith and there are more like
carpenter .

The groups had many purposes to for example the
New England colonies were good for stuff like
fishing crops and fur trading.The middle colonies
were good for growing wheat and raising farm
animals they also were known as the bread
colonies. So finally the southern colonies grow cash
crops like cottons,rise,and more.

The slaves had many jobs the first slaves were
indentured servants they would work for a little bit
and go back to Africa. But the slaves that worked in
the plantation had to stay forever.Some other
slaves were working on building fences and other
useful items. If you were a slave you would start
to work when you are three.

Oh I am so hungry

Time for dinner okay I will tell you all about the food we eat
and every thing.

When we first came to the 13 colonies we had to eat bad food
from the ship. Also the really bad thing was that we
depended on it like we did not know what to eat or what was
safe to eat.It was all moldy and disgusting and all the good
food was eaten by the mice.

But luckily all three part of the colonies found out how to
adapt the southern colonies had big plantation they would eat
and trade what they could make on the plantation.Im in the
middle colonies and my favorite is bread and any other food
that is wheat. And New England ate mostly fish yuck.

You might have all the good stuff like the birthday cake but for This is a picture of the
are birthday we have corn bread. And you go to some places food colonial times.
to get or by food.But in colonial times we didn't have grocery
shops we got are food by farming and all that hard work.

Thomas it’s Dinner time coming see you guys later by.

Go away King George

Colonial times are over because of the French
and Indian war it was against the british and
the colonists and the French and The
Indians.so it was for a small piece of land in
Ohio near a river somewhere.

After the war we one yah but for all the stuff
that was in the war was destroyed so it was up
to to him to the king to pay for all the
equipment so the King George the third was
taxing us with so much.

The taxing was getting out of hand because of
the acts like stamp act and Tea act, Sugar act.
He also makes more to so the colonies
eventually had enough and protested with
stuff like the Boston Tea party and other
different protested.

After the King found out about the tea party he Pictures of the American
made a blockade. But after that the Americans Revolution
still won.
