  1. 4. I once was a place, but then I went dark. Early colonization was no walk in the park.
  2. 5. I’m the same as above, but here’s one more clue: If George Whitefield started preaching, what would you do?
  3. 7. Pink isn’t scary, nor is green or blue. But apparently I’m a color that may frighten you. I made everyone paranoid, and innocent people took the stand, being grilled on whether or not they are loyal to this land.
  4. 8. I’m a rush of excitement, a thrill you could say. Everyone wanted a piece of me back in the day. If a person was lucky, they could bring home the gold. I’m a shiny part of California’s past, as you’ve been told.
  5. 9. I’m a fund that helped Europe restore their good name. Their economies were in shambles, with Germany to blame. The money helped Europe come back to life. Thank gosh the plan worked, or they’d still be in strife.
Down
  1. 1. I’m a long road or path, but much more sad. The people that walked on me were not at all glad. The man who caused it is your friend - YES it’s true! If you take him to the Dollar store he’ll buy you 20 things new.
  2. 2. I started as a skirmish, with rocks being thrown, but the colonists exaggerated to shade the British throne. My title sounds gory like a murder was allowed, but we all know it was an accident when shots fired into the crowd.
  3. 3. I once was a leaf, but now I’m on fire. Colonists grow me to make themselves higher.
  4. 6. I made colonists BELIEVE, when they had lost their way. I’m a two-worded term, not a person or a name.
