Answer the following question in at least 400 words.


Based on the course readings, evaluate what the American Revolution meant to at least three different people and whether or not it was, in your estimation, a radical event. To answer this prompt, choose three primary documents from our course representing the sentiments of individuals from different backgrounds. Examine the sources to determine how people of the period perceived the Revolution and its meaning. What were their concerns, experiences, values, and 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.

A successful assignment requires you to analyze the primary documents and meet the following expectations:

Use at least three of the primary documents from this unit.
Develop your argument by providing a thesis statement, evidence to support it, and a clear statement of the significance of this topic and your position.

Analyze each primary source by considering its historical context, its author, and the rhetoric of the text.
Utilize the secondary sources (textbook, videos, etc.) to place each primary document in historical context.
Be sure to organize your response around a thesis, with logical paragraph development, and with proper grammar and spelling.
