DISCUSSION TOPIC: 

It is clear that there were perceptions of differences between those in power and those responding to power leading up to the revolution and these differences were on the minds of many in the second half of the 18th century in America and the wider Atlantic. These differences were some of the reasons that led to the Revolutionary era. In the discussion this week you will use the documents in the primary sources associated with chapter 5 to explain how groups justified revolution were understood by various groups living in the colonies. Keep in mind that British colonists living in different regions, Indigenous people, the French, and Black communities each had differing perspectives on the value of war. 

People wanting to earn maximum points will compare at least two groups to explain differences and similarities of purpose.

You should use specific events found in the textbook section to support your primary source selections.
