"Sounding the Alarm" Thomas Boynton =Analyzing Primary Sources=

Based on your reading "The rights of the Colonists" and the document that you completed the APPARTS for, what do you see as the major reasons that colonists decided to revolt against their British rulers? In other words, what were they fighting for/against?

The colonist are fighting for more freedom and more rights from their British rulers.

Give specific examples of how people chose to fight for their freedom during the American Revolution AND explain them (you may want to explore the Mass Historical Site a bit more to answer this question).

People chose to fight for thier freedom by using newspapers and times of opportunity to inform others that thier was not enough freedom given to them and how they need to change that. they also created acts thats would help benifit them in many ways and give them more freedom.

Give another example from history of when people took part in a "revolution". What happened? Why? Who was involved? Who was not?

During the reform era is another example from history of when people took part in a "revolution." during this time people were fighting for better rights such as in school, work, and living conditions. they did this because rights were not equaly divided because men had more rights than women had and that was seen unfair to the women. mainly women were involved in the reform era and men were if any were barely supportive of this.
