A Letter from Boston

Place yourself (same age, family situation, and relative occupation) in early 1770s Boston. You are inspired to a letter to someone (family, friend, co-worker, etc.) outside of the area about what you have seen or heard happening with regards to the growing rift with Britain. Below are questions you must address in your letter.

• Your nation is on the brink of war. What has caused this?
• In your current situation, how has the foreign government impacted you, and what you are seeing evolve as the American government?
• Are you hoping to see a new nation emerge, or are you hoping for a reconciliation with Britain?

You are encouraged to be creative with the assignment, but make sure you are using facts from what you have read and learned to guide you.
