W-DBQ-1-Document+E



take notes here The 13 colonies will fight the British to preserve their liberties. They rather die then be slaves to the British. Also they just want to restore the union and not separate from Britain. Ashley

Patricia Brooks: The way I read this, it seems to contradict itself.... in the third paragraph, it says that they will fight for their liberty, but at the end of the last paragraph, it says that the army has not been raised with intentions of splitting from Britain. Explain please?

Chandan- they wanted old freedoms but didn't want to split

Dymonde: I was mad confused. Like one was saying enemies to friends??? =x

Bernadette: I doubt that I'm right but I took it as the colonists would rather die than be ruled by the British but maybe I took it the wrong way.

Tasmia: i think they're just saying at this point they dont want to totally split from Brit. but they just want their space and dont want to be "used" or treated so bad by Brit.
