American Revolution: Patriots or Terrorists?

    In Social Studies class we've learn about the American Revolution and we have a question whether the Son of Liberty considered to be patriots or terrorists. Its really up to person's opinion on the view Son of Liberty. For the British they might think that the Son of Liberty are terrorist, while the colonist think that they are patriots.

   In my opinion, I think that the colonist could be a patriots. The colonist tried their best to protect them self and to prevent them from losing profit, even though they cause some violence. If the British listen to them and lower the price of goods and doesn't make them paid taxes, then the colonies might be more happy about it. American revolution could be compare to current event. Taiwanese people want to be sperate from China, so that they could became a country. Which just like how the colonist wanted the colonies to became their own country and not part of the britain.

  1. Hi Rita, you position is clear, and you demonstrate understanding of both the colonists' and British points of view. What connections can you make between this issue or the historical events, to current events? I'll check back later to see what you've added.
