1.Drafted by Thomas Jefferson on between June 11 and June 28, 1776, the Declaration of Independence is at once the nations most cherished symbol of liberty and Jefferson's most enduring monument. Here, in exalted and unforgettable phrases, Jefferson expressed the convictions in the minds and hearts of the American people. The political philosophy of the Declaration was not new; it's ideals of individual liberty had already been expressed by John Locke and the continental philosophers. What Jefferson did was to summarize this philosophy in self-evident truths and set forth a list of grievances a in order to justify before the world the breaking of ties between the colonies and the mother country.

M@rk Sp@no said...

The battle of Saratoga was when the colonists won one of their first battle after they won they got the french navy to help them with the war .They also got the spanish.

Mr. Lee said...

Hello class,

Great to see so many students contributing to each other's learning.

I see a lot of comments on Patriots and Loyalists... Please note that there is more to them than just being FOR the king and being AGAINST the king.

For example, Patriots were colonists who were in favor of ending their relationship with England and to have an independent country of their own. They felt that the king's laws were unjust and they didn't want to be ruled by someone who was thousands of miles away. They wanted to rule themselves. Hope this helps.

M@rk Sp@no said...

The battle at York town was the last battle. Where Great Britten was surrounded and the cheif surrenderd and the colonys won the war.

anthony C said...

4.Nathan Hale was a soldier for the Continental Army during the American Revolutionary War. He volunteered for an intelligence-gathering mission in New York City but was captured by the British. He is probably best remembered for his purported last words before being hanged: "I only regret that I have but one life to give for my country."[1] Hale has long been considered an American hero and, in 1985, he was officially designated the state hero of Connecticut.

M@rk Sp@no said...

no battle was fought at Valley Forge. Yet, it was the turning point of the Revolutionary War. It was here that the Continental army was desperately against the ropes — bloody, beaten, battle-weary — and ready to quit. Even General Washington conceded, "If the army does not get help soon, in all likelihood it will disband."

andrew said...

Thank you for that information about the patriots Mr.Lee.

Christin@ S@gos said...

The battle of Saratoga was the battle of which the continetal army had won. After they won, the french came to help fight and so did the spanish. With this help, the colonists won the war.If the Continetal army didn't win the battle of Saratoga, we probably would've been speaking british because the french and spanish would not of come over and the colonists would've probably gave up.

Christina sagos said...

Thomas Jefferson was the one who wrote the Declaration of Independence.He was chosen to write the Declaration of Independence, because he had wrote many other documents so the Patriots choose him. They also choose him because he had experince and was well prepared.

Deanna said...

The battle of Lexington and Concord began on April 18 1775. This night Paul Revere rode through Concord to warn the americans that the British were going to attack. When the British came to attack the americans were waiting and ready to attack. The americans were withdrawring when someone fired a shot and the battle started. No one knows who fired the first shot. This battle began the revolutionary war.
