Your answer must be coherent, logical, and factually correct. There should be facts, analysis of those facts, and using those facts to assemble a cogent argument. Think of yourself as an attorney in a courtroom, and I am the jury. Using facts, interpretation of facts, and argument, you need to convince me of the efficacy of your case.

· QUESTION 1 (The American Revolution)
In this course history 16, we learned much about The American Revolution. We learned about its causes, its effects, and its consequences and implications. We looked at it from several angles: political, legal, social (i.e. cultural, social norms and mores, religious), and economic.
a) Completely and thoroughly chronicle and describe in detail the causes of the American Revolution, leading up to the signing of the Declaration of Independence in July 1776.
b) Make an argument for which of these causes was most important
c) From 1763 to 1776, completely and thoroughly chronicle and describe how the patriots defied the British (in small and large ways). What general and specific actions were taken? How effective were these tactics?
d) The final break with Britain took over 100 years to occur. Even when it did occur, a sizable portion of the population was still loyal to The Crown. In early 1776, describe how the American Colonists were different than the British (i.e. how did they grow apart). In what ways were they still similar?
