What did the colonists think was worth fighting for?

This week we will begin to investigate this question. We'll be using the textbook as a resource to provide the background knowledge we need to understand how and why the American Revolutionary War happened. While it might seem at first that there is very little in common between the Muslim girls in France today and the colonists during the 1760s, I think that you will begin to see some pretty significant similarities between these two groups. I am very excited to share with you some techniques for analyzing primary documents such as political cartoons. These are skills we'll be using throughout this entire year and I think you'll find analyzing political cartoons very interesting! We will also have some fun drawing some protest cartoons of our own. It is going to be a fun week! Please note the weekly syllabus on the right sidebar and don't forget to do your homework!

See you tomorrow!
