            Toad (Frog) Population
      Dr. Knapp doesn’t want people to sit back and let the toad vanish.  He believes that everyone is responsible for restoring the toad species.  One of Dr. Knapp's solution is that we stop mowing parts of our lawns and let the grass grow wild to reserve space for the toad.  He also believes we need to stop using pesticides and fertilizers.  The chemicals kill the insects that toads eat.  If we preserve some spaces in our lawns and stop using fertilizers, Dr. Knapp believes we can save the toads.

Before the United States was a country, it was a group of English colonies.  Until 1793, England didn't really bother the American colonists.  The people handled their business the way they wanted.  However, England had a lot of war debts to pay.  Some of the money was owed because England had defended the colonies in the French and Indian War.  Citizens who were living in England wanted taxes to be lowered.  The king decided to take more control over the colonies to get the money to pay off the debts.  He started a new tax for the colonies.  After being left to make their own decisions for so long, some of the colonists did not want to give up control  They did not want to pay high taxes.  Why did England start demanding taxes in America?

• They are mean and nasty and just wanted the Americans to suffer
• England needed to sell more tea to the Colonies
• England had a lot of debt from wars
• The American Colonies were not making enough money for England
