Who am I? I was born in Boston on Sept. 17th, 1772 and died on Oct. 2nd, 1803. I was a major leader in the American Revolution. I was the son of a wealth brewer, he inherited one-third of my family property but lost most of it through poor management. After attending Harvard, I became active in colonial politics and enjoyed a popular following through my activities in the Boston political clubs, such as the Caucus Club, which was influential in nominating candidates for local office. I was an effective spokesman for the popular party opposed to the entrenched circle around the royal governor. I organized the protest against the Stamp Act (1765) and was a founder of the Sons of Liberty. Undoubtedly the most influential member of the lower house of the Massachusetts legislature (1765-1774), I drafted most of the major protested documents against the Townshend Acts. I also wrote frequently for the press in defense of colonial rights.

1. If you were an African slave who was offered the opportunity to fight in the American Revolution on the side of either the British or the Americans, which would you choose?  Explain.

1 Ans. Well I do not want to fight either because I feel war is a wrong way to settle things. It’s just like the old saying “Two wrongs don’t make a right”. But, if I would have to choose if my country were in danger, I would choose the British. The only reason why I would choose the British, because I feel them fighting us (the Americans) is horrible. I would not want my own kind to get hurt. But I wouldn’t want the British to get hurt either. But I would still want to fight the British. Even though fighting is the worst thing to do.

2. If you were a soldier at Valley Forge during the harsh winter of 1777-1778, would you remain with your unit if your military commitment/enlistment ran out or would you return home?  Explain.

2 Ans. I wouldn’t necessarily say I would want to go home. But I wouldn’t want to die either. So I would go home just so I can save my life. I wouldn’t want to spend my death on an empty stomach and with the flu. I would hate for that to happen. So I would go home.

1. If I were an African slave and had the tedious decision of joining the British or American army, I would personally choose to join the British army. Because when the war was still taking place, everyone knew the British army was stronger and more stable army. If I knew that the British were going to lose, I would definitely reconsider joining the American army.
2. If I was a soldier in Valley Forge, I wouldn’t think twice about staying my grounds and staying with my unit. Because if I ever decided to join the army, I made a commitment to something, and I would stick to it.

1 I would choose the British. Because they aren’t making me a slave. 2 I would return home because I miss my family and I want to see them in person . 3 Loyalist troops ..hate them.

1.     Americans because they would be if they won but the British would still have to listen to King George.

 2.    I would remain with my unit because whatever happens Im still going to fight for my freedom.

I was born in Quincy Massachusetts on September 22, 1722. I lived in the exact same neighborhood as John Hancock. In 1736 I attended Harvard University and begin studying law. In 1763, when I heard about the British ministry taxing colonists, I knew I had to do something about it. So I helped develop the instructions for a committee started by the people of Boston. This committee was about expressing the public sentiment in relation to this contemplated measure. One of my famous quotes was “If our trade may be taxed, why not our lands? Why not the produce of our lands and everything we possess or use? If I could give my character three adjectives I would choose bold, brilliant, and brave. What I think hero means is when you do something that saves someone’s life or affects a lot of people. I think my character was a hero because he was a American patriot and fought in the war.

I was born on February 22, 1732. I became the first president of the untied states in 1789.
And I led Continental Army to victory. The colonies voted me as cumbered and chief to lead the American Revolutionary War. I have a state that’s named after me. My father had died 1781I had married Martha Dandridge Curtis. My face was on a mountain. I had Taking office (Apr. 30, 1789) in New York City. I was reelected president in 1792.

I was the 2^nd president of the U.S. I played in a role persuading Congress to adopt the U.S. declaration of independence in 1776. I am nice, and I am a trustworthy, and I was a great person to this country.
