American Revolution
We are studying the American Revolution this week, which includes the Revolutionary War as well. Perhaps as many as one third of American colonists did not support this effort, some even fought for the British. In preparation for this DB, read about the Loyalists in your text and online sites. Compose a brief essay, minimum 100 words, in which you describe in summery the points that the author is making. Also, include your own opinion about public support for political events that might be unpopular or controversial. Consider present day support or lack of support for American involvement overseas…like ongoing wars in Afghanistan (recently terminated) and perhaps Syria.
