Common Sense

Hey everyone. Yesterday we discussed the impact of several events leading up to the Declaration of Independence. We discussed how many people still believed that the American colonies should not break with Great Britain. We also discussed the impact of such events such as the Battles of Lexington and Concord, the meetings of the Second Continental Congress, the Battle of Bunker Hill, and the Battles of Montreal and Quebec.

For homework, you are to finish reading the excerpts from "Common Sense" and the article by Charles Inglis. Please write down what arguments do both make for either breaking with Great Britain or reconciling with the mother country. Please email me if you have any questions or concerns. Have a great day!
