Suppose you lived in boston in 1775. when the fighting broke out, would you be a patriot, a loyalist, or a fence-sitter? be sure to consider the advantages and difficulties you have had a a subject of the british empire. also consider how hard it is to rebel against a government you have had all your life (and why none of you have ever taken up arms against the u. s. government today).

I would be a patriot, so I strongly respect of independence of the country. I would not like how the British is treating our country. They put high taxes, collected valuable things and put people in a difficult situation. I would not accept the war and waiting for peace. It would be hard to be against the government because it has more power.

the government paid religious orders to provide basic education to native american children on reservations. in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the bureau of indian affairs (bia) founded additional boarding schools based on the assimilation model of the off-reservation carlisle indian industrial school.
