First, discuss the social status of women in colonial America (what some male leaders felt their roles were etc.) and what roles women played in and outside their homes. Second, as hostilities escalated, how were women put in the crossfire during early days of the war, what roles did they play in their homes and how did this differ based upon their class and affiliation as a patriot or loyalist? Third, how did women’s treatment and roles differ based upon their race (Native American and Black)- What roles did women play towards the war effort on both sides (be specific)? In what ways did these women show valor and poise during the war? Last, at the conclusion of the war, in spite of the major roles that women played, did their participation open doors for equal treatment and social equality for them? What issues related to gender equality still persist in American society that have root in the colonial era?

Are modern day political bosses a force in today’s political world? Do you think that political bosses might benefit voters as they are more closely aligned to them and their needs than might be polished politicians who often follow the lead of interest groups who have their own agendas?

Ex: Activists might be very concerned about reducing pollution, while voters might consider safety a more pressing concern.
