In 1650-1750, after the 10th century, France wasruled by monarchs. During the reign of King LouisXIV, the monarchy reached its peak. Louis XIVbuilt the Palace Versailles. He spent all monarchy'smoney on wars and the palace, and it strainedFrance's finances. The kings that followed taxed thepeople a lot, even though they had no money forfood. This caused laborers,artisans, and many otherpeople to rise up in protest. This protest was calledthe French Revolution.

New Jersey BreakingNews!!!
By: Liana G
The preprioters of our home New Jersey all wantto make money from our colony. Finally they justdecided to divide our land into smaller pieces andsell or rent colonists to farm. Lots of reporters aredisagreeing and there are lots of people protesting.Since our Preprioters all live in England it was verydifficult to control our fairway. Our solution was topick governors in our colony to rule it. Each of ourgovernors chose a small group to make decisionsfor. most people are agreeing that governers werea great idea. Our preprioters allowed us to electrepresentatives to an assembly. Our assembly helpedthe governor make laws, but sadly it did not havemuch power.

By: Taehoon W
The colonist's say that their life had become waybetter than before. One colonist said "Life idreally better now. I was living in a cave dug outfrom the river bank now I live in a real home.Life in Philadelphia is way better now."But inthe other hand,many settlers are worried aboutpickpockets and other criminals in the city. Also weare threatened by French and Spanish privateers.But Franklin says 'do not worry'. Franklin gathered2 batteries of volunteers to defend the city. Thegovernment is a problem too. Working in thegovernment has such a poor reputation many peopleare afraid to be elected or work in the office. Oneman even fled to avoid being mayor. The colonistsalso say the city is very dirty with animals andgarbage. The city's Indians are in danger too. A

New Hampshire NewsTonight New EnglandEastern
By Ethan S.New Hampshire
Hello New Hampshire colonists. In case yourwondering all news of our proprietor is well. Allkids looking for an education can apply for anapprenticeship because artisans and laborersare happy to accept hardworking children. Theexports we shipped out this week included cattle,lumber, fish, and fur. We imported slaves andare starting to see them around. The populationhas been slowly increasing since the birth of NewHampshire. Unfortunately there are disputes inEngland so the government of New Hampshiresigned a merger to be part of MassachusettsBay Colony where the founder of Exeter, NewHampshire John Wheelwright was banishedfor his beliefs which made him a separatist. Thejoining of New Hampshire and Massachusetts hascreated some quarrels over religion. Most of usare Congregationalists. On the other hand, most
colonists from Massachusetts are puritans and wanteverybody else to be puritan too. Massachusetts isworking on a new law stating that all towns thathave 50 or more families need to hire a teacher,partially paid by taxes. As a result, this in thefuture may start a big education system. MountWashington is scheduled to be climbed the first timeby non-Indians in 1642. In addition, our economyis primarily fishing and trading. The town meetingmade and started our first house of worship calledThe Meeting House Green. At the same time, it wasalso agreed that every person shall have one half ofhis ground in upland. Those are the latest eventscolonists.Remember, we are hoping for the schoollaw to get accepted. Let’s pray for a prosperousfuture.
