History Chapter 5 part 8

Dear Diary,

Hey it is Patrick Rick again. Guess what I still don’t remember why I became a loyalist! And nobody has told me yet. Well now that it is winter, my crops are all harvested so I have nothing to do. But then I overheard some people talking about how wood is really valuable now because the British’s supplies of wood were cut off. So I told my family that I was going to cut down trees for a living until I could start planting my crops. So I set out into the forest near the rivers. TIMBERRRRRR. I cut down the first tree I’m going to sell. It surprisingly is fun, but still hard work. And what made it worst was we had to make the trees into square bricks (How lame is that we should have done triangles). Aww well I guess for the amount of money I’m getting I can cut it into squares (Again, WHY NOT TRIANGLES???) So that is it for this diary.

Dear Diary,

Hey it is Patrick Rick, I just defected to the British I am now a loyalist and they gave me a bunch of land! It’s pretty good, but I miss my old farm and house. After I defected to the British side people at my old home were picking on me and my family (What nerve some people have). So that was the reason I came up to Upper Canada with my family. The only problem is… Well… Over half the land I got was covered in trees. The remaining space I had to use for my house so I needed space for my crops right? So yeah I had to cut down trees and plant my crops between stumps and stuff (Which made them pretty hard to find). It was really annoying. Wait a minute. Why did I become a loyalist? Hmmm… Well if anyone reading this knows tell me please.

History Chapter 4 part 6

Eh, lads I’m a scot named Scot Scotish. Well lads I was the leader of a fur trade organization consisting of Scots and English men. Let me tell you a story. It all began in 1776. I was still the leader of my fur trade company we were trying to dominate the fur trade, but so were the other two companies. The HBC was the strongest and I knew that if you can’t beat em, team up and destroy them. So I joined this other company of lads and became the North-west Company. Our company was soaring by 1783 and was dominating the fur trade. Eventually we were losing the fur trade. So we joined the HBC. The End. Not much of a story I know…

Hey, it is Andrew Drew again. Guess what, come on guess. I said GUESS! You know mine worst enemy that guy in Kingston. Well, yeah he had a fit when he heard the news. Huh, you want to know the news? Ok, well mine home York is THE NEW CAPITAL. WOO HOO! Yeah, I was amazed too. There was this lady named, ummm named. I am not good at names, but I think you know that. Well she helped her husband to make York the capital. I am so happy. Mine home is now capital. I bet this will be recorded and remembered in the future. I just wish I could see the guy in Kingston's fit again...

History Chapter 5 part 4

Hey, mine name is Andrew Drew, and I fully support the idea of having the capital moved to York. It is not only because mine home is York, but it it is easy to export and import goods. Not to mention it have good animals for hunting. The wilderness around us makes it easier to get materials and quicker than if we imported them. People today ughh, the dumb person in Kingston wants that to be the capital, they are mine worst enemy, Kingston for a capital pshh. Remember now (whoever’s reading this) make York your home and capital.

History Chapter 5 part 3

Hi, I’m the lieutenant governor of Upper Canada, and I have RULE over whoever’s reading this. So, about me. I run a country and get demands from people. I ignore most of the demands because it is usually nonsense like “We need more food!” They can live without food right? Those people who were voted to power by a democracy, pshh never listen to them they do no good around here spending money on other people. I can understand if they give it to me, but other people no way. I guess I just have to live with them giving me annoying demands.*sigh*

History Chapter 5 part 2

Eh, eh, eh. This is Thandanos of the Haudenosaunne tribe. A new member came into our tribe recently and said so many things about the British. He even convinced them to join the British. I have been trying to convince the tribe to join the 13 Colonies, but did they listen? No. This guy just had to come and tell them to join the British. He did it in less than half the time it took me to make them consider the proposal. But no this guy just had to come along and convince, and I mean convince them to join the British. It’s impressive mostly because the leader is so stubborn. I despise him and I admire him. Mostly despise though, definitely.

Hi, my name is Dankstred Olakstif, and I am a black loyalist, I have travelled far for freedom. I have come to British territory because they promised freedom and land grants. They were telling the truth, but we are always the last people to get supplies and land. I often have to go work for someone just to make a living. We get all the seeds last, the nails last, and the wood last. They are so mean. They think that we are less important (blah blah blah). They treat others better because they weren’t slaves and they had white skin (big deal). Well I’m basically a slave with freedom since I have to work to survive.
