The American Revolution Debate

In class we had a debate about the American Revolution. First, we separated into two groups ( the loyalists and the patriots) and had the debate. If you liked what the person said you would say " Aye!". If you didn't like what the you would say "Nay!" or "I Rebut". The Patriots argued that the king was raising our taxes too high. They also didn't like the intolerable acts or the closed port in Boston because they didn't have enough food. The Loyalists argued that people should respect the king and the intolerable acts were the Patriots fault. They caused trouble when they dumped the Tea. We were were going vote but, then we found out that we were already in war. The war started in Concord, but news traveled really slow.

I thought it would be fun to do a project next term about living in America. It sounds like you know lots about it and you could help us with our learning!
