Results of the War |
| Would your group have gone to war to declare independence from Britian? Explain. | No, because it would destroy the country and it would put our country into a lot of debt. Also, we think that there are more peaceful ways to solve the problems. |
| What were the major points that made your decision? | We made our decision because the results of the Revolutionary War were very devestating. There were lots of lives lost and all the countries involved were into a lot of debt. Plus, even after the colonies struggles so much for their independence, they still disrespected the Native Americans by forcing them off the land. They colonish didn't learn their lesson. We think that if the colonist had to negotiate their freedom, they would be more open to letting the Native Americans have their land and freedom. |
| Did all group members agree with the decision? Explain. | Yes, becuase we all have learned a lot from this project and we have the same opinion of war. We all think there are more peaceful ways to solve problems and to examine all of our options before we go into war. |
| What were the alternatives to war? Explain. (why or why not did your group choose an alternative to war) | Some alternatives to war include: -comprimise tax prices so the colonies pay less -refuse to fight so Britian wouldn't have anyone to fight against -let Britian control the colonies for a year so the colonies can figure out a solid way to govern themselves |
