Question 1: Based on George Washington's performance in the French and Indian War, would you hire him as a general if you had a war to fight? Why or why not?
Question 2: Explain the reasons behind the Stamp Act from the British point of view in London in 1765.
Question 3: Suppose you lived in Boston in 1775. When the fighting broke out, would you be a Patriot, a Loyalist, or a fence-sitter? Be sure to consider the advantages and difficulties you have had a subject of the British Empire. Also consider how hard it is to rebel against a government you have had all your life (and why none of you have ever taken up arms against the U.S. government today).
Question 4: On what principles did the patriots base the Revolution? Why would a rebel be fighting? Consider the experiences of the Road to Revolution to support your answers.
