Good morning everyone. I think that some of you had some very interesting things to say. I appreciate your thoughts and ideas when it comes to any of these questions. What I'd like to see in your work moving forward is real thought and depth in your answers.
I think that the American Revolution parallels wars of today becuase it seems like a lot of countries just want the opportunity to rule themselves. Currently we occupy Iraq and we are trying "help" them build a democracy. We went to war with them because we believed they could hurt us with weapons and now we are still there and the reasons seem less clear. With the American Revolution, from beginning to the end the colonists knew why they were fighting and they knew the consequences of what would happen if they lost and were committed of treason. They had only their lives and their want for freedom to help them win.
Also, I agreed with what Jonathan said about the Revolution, it wasn't about fear, but about a purpose or cause. You can't fear when you go to war, you have to believe deeply in the cause that is worth fighting for. Remember when we talked about sacrefices?
Anyway, I hope this shows you guys how you could be blogging... reference each other... not just by name, but also by what you say... elaborate on the things each of you are saying... use this as a place for discussion.
