Description
Based on the course readings, evaluate what the American Revolution meant to at least three different actors and whether or not it was, in your estimation, overall a “radical” event. Choose at least three primary documents to complete this assignment. You will want to examine them to determine how different people (including, for instance, colonial politicians, farmers, slaves, women, male revolutionaries, monarchists, etc.) from the period perceived the Revolution and its meaning. What were their concerns, their experiences, their values, and their biases? Your answer needs to show a clear understanding of how each of these perspectives fit within their political and social context by using the textbook, videos, and other readings to understand where each voice was coming from.
- Use at least three of the primary documents from this unit
- Develop your argument by providing a thesis statement, evidence to support that statement, and a clear statement of the significance of this topic and your position (that is, why it matters).
- Analyze each primary source by considering its historical context, its author (including his or her values, biases, and experiences), and the rhetoric of the text.
- Utilize the secondary sources (textbook, videos, etc.) to place each primary document in historical context.
- Abide by the basic principles of college-level composition.
- Be sure to organize your response around a thesis, with logical paragraph development, and with proper grammar and spelling. After you post your answer, respond to one other student post.
- Answer the following question with a minimum of 500 words.
