"Letters From Looney" features Looney Lobster traveling to 1700s Boston.


What did Looney do with this information?


Looney left 1728 and went forward in time to 1761 in Boston. He saw that people were smuggling items into Boston so that they did not have to pay import taxes. To curb this illegal action, the British were trying to enforce the Writs-of-Assistance. Looney witnessed what he thought were unlawful searches!

Looney got Henry Stud to write a letter from Massachusetts in 1761 to the students of 5D4 in Massachusetts of 1999 explaining what was happening to him.
