Does anyone go to connections academy i have a Social Studies portfolio where it is the year 1783 and the revolutionary war is over and you have to pick a side patriot or loyalist then you have to answer 3 questions in your journel entry

1. what do you think the causes of the war were.
2. what impact has the war had on life in the colonies.
3. how do you think life wil be different in north america after british defeat.

please help i chose the side of patriot

Is this a good journel entry.

The year is 1783 and the revalutionary war is officaly over. This war was very long it lasted for 8 years. I think the causes of the war were that King George the third put a lot of taxes on the colonist including taxes on paper, sugur, and tea. Those taxes made the colonist angry so they fought aganst the british to earn freedom. The war has impacted life in the colonies greatly because now we dont have to listen to King Goerge the Third and now me can live in a free country. I am glad that we won the war because mif british won we would still be under the british law and there would've never have a country of freedom.

Most colonists weren't close enough to ever hear King George.

The rest is o.k.

what i ment in that part was that the colonist didn't have to follow king georges laws and that they didn't have to pay for the taxes anymore.:)

Yes, that's better.

thanks

You're welcome.

I have one more question. Where would i put a sentence saying what side i chose

and why i chose it

Put it after the second sentence.

thanks again

should i say i chose the patriot side because i wanted to be free from the british law and start a free country.
