Question: What would you've been like in you lived in the 'Good Old Colony Times, when we were under the King'!?
Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Well,First you have to remember that at that time people living here were criminals in England that were exiled to this land!.At the beginning it was very difficult to survive and a great many colonists died the first few months here!.Those that lived through it were helped by natives living near them!.As the colonists started making a life for themselves the king started taxing them for everything that they needed from England!.Eventually they were forced into a position to make a stand against the king!.This led to the revolutionary war and the drafting of the Constitution!.Once freed from the tyranny of King George we prospered and set out to become what we are today!.Chances are I would have been a clockmaker of the time working in Bristol Connecticut or possibly Thomaston Connecticut!.I would have studied under Eli Terry the originator of the wooden clocks produced at that time!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
