Debates were held in the General Store because there was more than ample space for it to be held. • Trials were held in town square where everyone could see what was going on. • Sermons were held in the church. The holy house of worship. • Family reunions were held inside of your house not a public place.

Women were not allowed to work they had to stay at home. • Young children were not allowed to work but teen boys were allowed to though. • Men ran the general store. • Slaves were not allowed to work because they were not taught simple math.

The store keep would not live far away because in case of a supply emergency he could get there fast. • He would not live in the town over because it would take him half a day just to get in to work. • He would live next door to cut down on transportation time and emergency time. • A few blocks away would've also been acceptable.

15 $1 Million 14 For $1,000 what is the most expensive item in the general store? $500,000 13 $250,000 12 $125,000 11 $64,000 10 $32,000 9 $16,000 8 $8,000 7 $4,000 6 $2,000 5 $1,000 4 $500 3 $300 2 $200 50:50 1 $100 A: $100.00 B: $0.95 C: $5.00 D: $20.00
The most expensive item was $100.00. • Even though guns were $0.95 that was considered a pretty penny back then. • $5.00 was considered even more expensive but it was still not the most expensive. • Even though $20.00 isn't expensive today it was only seen in extremely wealthy colonists.

15 $1 Million 14 $500,000 For $2,000 where was the general store located? 13 $250,000 12 $125,000 11 $64,000 10 $32,000 9 $16,000 8 $8,000 7 $4,000 6 $2,000 5 $1,000 4 $500 3 $300 2 $200 50:50 1 $100 A: In town B: Outskirts of town C: Not in town D: Next town over
If there was an emergency and the general store was in the next town it would cause havoc through daily life. • If the general store was on the outskirts of town it would be in farmland not near the cluster where people lived. • By not in town I mean in the middle of nowhere. • The right answer is in town. This is so it has easy access to everybody.

For $4,000 fill in this blank : When the British ___ party happened, ___ prices rose. 15 $1 Million 14 $500,000 13 $250,000 12 $125,000 11 $64,000 10 $32,000 9 $16,000 8 $8,000 7 $4,000 6 $2,000 5 $1,000 4 $500 3 $300 2 $200 50:50 1 $100 B: Eggs A: Coffee C: Guns D: Tea
The answer obviously the answer is not guns. They did not dump guns into Boston harbor. • They did not dump coffee into Boston harbor. • They did not dump eggs into Boston harbor. Eggs as an answer does not make sense because they did not come from England, they came from local farmers. • The answer is tea, this fill in the blank was the Boston tea party which was when the colonists dumped tea into the harbor to protest the prices.

For $8,000 how long did it take for imports from Europe to get to the colonies? 15 $1 Million 14 $500,000 13 $250,000 12 $125,000 11 $64,000 10 $32,000 9 $16,000 8 $8,000 7 $4,000 6 $2,000 5 $1,000 4 $500 3 $300 2 $200 50:50 1 $100 A: A week B: A month C: 3 months D: 2 months
A week is way to fast for any ship from that era to get from Europe to the colonies. • The correct answer is 1 month. • At the beginning it took colonists up to 12 weeks which was the longest time it took out of anybody to get to the new colony. • 3 Months is way to long for any ship unless your Henry Hudson. • 2 Months is too long but not as long as 3 months.

15 $1 Million For $16,000 what was the most popular item in a general store? 14 $500,000 13 $250,000 12 $125,000 11 $64,000 10 $32,000 9 $16,000 8 $8,000 7 $4,000 6 $2,000 5 $1,000 4 $500 3 $300 2 $200 50:50 1 $100 A: Guns B: Playing cards C: Tin goods D: Coffee
The answer is tin goods. This is because there were many types of tin goods and I was not specific about the answer. • The answer was not guns because when you bought a gun it lasted a long time. • Playing cards were not that popular of an item even though you would think it is. • Coffee was sort of popular but not that much.

15 $1 Million For $32,000 what did they use to preserve dairy products? 14 $500,000 13 $250,000 12 $125,000 11 $64,000 10 $32,000 9 $16,000 8 $8,000 7 $4,000 6 $2,000 5 $1,000 4 $500 3 $300 2 $200 50:50 1 $100 A: Lard B: In ice water D: In a cold stone block C: Fat
Back then they did not have freezers to make ice so that is out of the question. • They did not think of the cold stone block, the Chinese did. • The lard did not keep anything insulated it just counted as a lubricant. • The correct answer is fat. This is because it keeps the heat or cold inside of something.
Congratulations! Congratulations! Congratulations! You’ve Reached the $32,000 Milestone!

15 $1 Million 14 $500,000 For $64,000 what item could you buy at a general store? 13 $250,000 12 $125,000 11 $64,000 10 $32,000 9 $16,000 8 $8,000 7 $4,000 6 $2,000 5 $1,000 4 $500 3 $300 2 $200 50:50 1 $100 A: Outhouse B: Laptop C: Row Boat D: An axe
Whoever thinks that laptops is the right answer should go back to nursery school. I mean really come on. • There was no axes in the colonies. Axes were used by Vikings. • The correct answer is a row boat. You would order a row boat and the woodcraftsman would make it and give it to you. • The answer is not a outhouse. You would have to make your own outhouse.

Licorice would not dispense if put in a machine. • Jawbreakers were not invented until the 1800s. • Gum would never have stayed soft in the machine for that long. • Assorted hard candy would have stayed fine for the long amount of time that it would’ve been in there for.

Near the water source is the wrong answer. • The general store was the correct answer. Who would do business in the general store where somebody is trying to make a living selling things. • The gunsmith’s shop is wrong. • The tavern is the wrong answer.
