March 5, 1776

It has been six years since the Boston Massacre. The Patriots are close to winning, and the British are paying dearly for what they did. Even though the British have a better military, we seem to be holding them off. I think that the Patriots will win, but my dad thinks otherwise. He said he is embarrassed to think that his family is un-loyal to the king, especially in front of his loyalist friends. I know it is a sin to not obey your parents, but it just feels right. Not only is he embarrassed, he is punishing the whole family for it. I don’t think it is right because we are just standing up for our beliefs just like he is.
