American Revolutionary War
Directions:
Answer each of the following questions. Be sure to support your answer
with details from the text.
1.) Do
you think the Colonists were justified in their actions of throwing all the tea
into the Boston Harbor? Why or why not?
2.)
George vs. George: Whose side are you on? At the start of the
Revolutionary War the colonists were in a tough position. They had to
choose whether they wanted to support their mother country, England, or if they
wanted to support the newly founded Continental Army in an effort for the
colonies to gain independence from England. Pretend you are a colonist in
1775, you must pick a side. What side would you choose to be on and
why?
