== =Declaring Independence= 1. Would the Revolutionary War have happened if we hadn’t done the Boston Tea Party? 2. Would we still be part of Britain if the Revolutionary War never happened? 3. What would have happened if George Washington had decided to be king instead of President? 4. Should George Washington have been chosen as President? 5. Did Britain cause the war by the way they acted, or did we cause the war because we wanted to have freedom?

=When Did You Last See Your Father?= The sergeant standing beside the little girl arrested the family. He doesn’t look like he is happy, so I don’t think he wanted to turn them in, but had to. He probably doesn’t like the fact that the Parliamentarians arrest children and their families to question them. I think he arrested the boy and girl, and the two ladies in the background. The blonde lady is the children’s older sister, because she has the same color hair as them, and the dark-haired one is their mother. I think the family has a lot of money because because they are wearing nice clothes. I think the boy is being questioned first because he isn’t very upset, and the girls have to calm down before they are questioned or the Puritans will think they are suspicious. The man wearing the yellow sash is a soldier, who just happens to be resting there, he doesn’t have anything to do with the interrogation because he looks relaxed and he isn’t behind the table. The clerk is just writing everything down, so he is there to make the questioning official. The man in the corner, holding the stack of books, turned the family in. The man behind the table, leaning forward, feels bad for the children. The man beside him, wearing the hat, is a Puritan and doesn’t like the Royalists.

=Possible Thesis Statements(Revolutionary War)= 1.We would not still be part of Britain if the Revolutionary War had not happened because somebody would have wanted independence from the 1770’s to the present.

2. We would not still be part of Britain if the Revolutionary War had not happened because later the colonists and Britain might have been more patient with each other, so instead of the war they would have come up with a treaty or other way to separate it into two countries.

=Thesis Statement= Although life might be different today, British rule still would have ended if the Revolutionary War had not occurred in the 18th century due to the 19th century collapse of imperialism.
