Revolutionary War
You are one of the ten key people of the Revolutionary Era we talked about in class. You need to write a short story about your experiences we talked about in class. A few of examples are: Cornwallis surrendering at Yorktown, Paul Revere taking part in the Boston Tea Party, John Adams convincing the Continental Congress to declare their independence, or any other you can think of. The story should be at least 2 paragraphs (that is at least 10 full, thought-out sentences). Be creative, but also be historical accurate.

Hello, my name is George Washington. I was born in Virginia. I am in the Continintal Army. I am fighting British soldiers with colonist. They know the best places where to hide and attack. But we lost a lot of battles and we are hoping to win the battle of Saratoga.
ReplyDeleteApril 19,1765
We won the battle for Saratoga and it was the turning point of the war. Although I lost a lot of men we won. It was a bloody battle but we might win the war.

I am Phillis Wheatley ,I am a former slave who writes poems and plays supporting American Independence. Today I've written 5 poems and 1 play. Everyday I can hear people saying they will have a war and then , they lose. All we wanted was to win the war an have some of that Independence.
ReplyDeleteUntil, one sunny morning around 9:30.... The Battle Of Saratoga! It was the turning point of the war! They had won the war. Everybody was happy.Even the old men who were about to pass away were jumping and running around. That was the best day of my life and probably the men too.
I am Phillis Wheatley. I write poems and plays. When I write my poems I write about all the hard times I faced. I also write about the wars and stuff. Sometimes,it gets hard to think of what to write.
ReplyDeleteI write plays also. My plays are about many different things. Sometimes they are like reanactments of wars. I also reanact some hard times I faced. Its very fun doing those things. But it can get difficult at times.
When they first came to me I thought no. But I thought about it for a while and I thought I'd give it a shot. They thought I was the best man for the job. I didn't think I could do it. But when they asked again I said yes.
ReplyDeleteI worked real hard and eventually I got some help. von Steuden from prussia he tranied my men real good. We were wining battles and weren't loseing to many men. After wining many battles we were fighting at jamestown. It was a long fought battle but eventally lord cornwallis surrenderd.

Hi my name is, Patrick Henry I am a member of the House of Burgesses and i am very outspoken. I have many ideas and they are very created too. I inspired colonial patriotiam with the saying "give my liberty or give me death".
ReplyDeleteI am the major author of the Declaration of Independence. It is a paper that was issued on July 4th 1776. It is representing thirteen British coloines the became United States.
Hi I am Paul Revere I am planing to dump tea into the Boston harbor. I am planing to dress up as an native american then dump it. That should give that king what he deserves. I am riding the horses to the harbor rate now. SPLASH SPLASH as we dump the tea into the water to ruin it. In the morning we head back out to the harbor with the small boats an splash the remianing tea floating on the top of the water. The reason why we do that is because we need to ruin it. That king is probably very mad. At least he does not know it was us because I would be hanged. They named it the Boston Tea Party. Then later in my life I say the red coats are coming.
ReplyDeleteHi my name is John Adams i convinced the continental congress to declare independence. Wen the boston massacre happen i was so anger with british. but i had to be on their side at court and it made me sick. I was glad that the four solider went on trial cause they deserved to go on trial. They all should have went on trial.
ReplyDeleteThen i went to france and help write the treaty of paris it was a long trip to france but it was worth it. It toke about 3 weeks to get there i was very tried when i got there. Then i woke up and said lets get to work.So we wrote three one day so when we were done we went to sleep then three the next day. So when i got back to new england lord cornwallis signed it .

Hello my name is Thomas Jefferson as you all know I am the permanent author of the Declaration of Independence. Thinking of it was hard writing it was hard especially with everything happening around me like the Boston tea party, and the Boston Massacre but i stuck with it. If all of those things didn't happen then life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness wouldn't have inspired my readers of the Declaration.
ReplyDeleteAll of the people around me contribute to all the things and wrote like John Adams and Paul Revere.If you have read the Declaration of Independence It will tell what we have gone through and how we got through it. It also tells about our rights we all have. In the Boston Massacre the soldiers and innocent people that were hurt and brought to trial. Thats why i wrote to help the people.
My name is Phillis Wheatley, and Im a person who wrote poems and plays supporting American Independence. The kind of poems i would have are rhymes and more. My plays would be short and where people would like and enjoy. i was a slave so i had to do things
ReplyDeleteWe are in war with England.I am the commander in chief for the Continental Army. The colonists are fighting for independence. So i helped them fight for it. Then Horactio Gates took over saratoga. That proved to france that they could win the war. So france and spain sent money and supplies/weapons.
ReplyDeleteBaron vonsteuben helped me turn the colonists into a army.We almost didn't survive the winter.
Hi my name is Phillis Wheatly I wrote poems and plays supporting American independence.I like to put in details so the people will be in to my poems.I like my poems to have flow and to make sense.I want people to enjoy and smile and say i like that poem.I was a slave who wrote poems and plays.
ReplyDeleteHello my name is George Washington. I am the President & leader of the Continental Army. We lost many battles & lost many men. I can't believe we won the battle of Saratoga because our men were just farmers & stuff & the other army was trained. The Battle of saratoga was even the turning point of the war.
ReplyDeleteIt took a lot of work for the battle of saratoga. I haven't talked about Yorktown yet because the battle just ended. Well Lord Cornwallis surrendered. That Lazy Scum We are going to treat him bad. Well THAT MARKED THE END OF THE REVOLUTIONARY WAR SO GOOD DAY.
-George Washington
hello, i am Thomas Jefferson. i am the major author of the Declaration of Independence. i was also a member of the Continental Congress. i was the governer of Virginia. i was also the 3rd president of the United States! i was also the leader of democratic republicans. John adams and myself died on the same day but, i died first and people say John adams last few words were I'm happy that thomas jefferson will still be here we died in the year of 1826!
ReplyDeleteI thomas jefferson am going to tell you a little bit about the declaration of independence. it stated that people have certain unalible rights ( life liberty and the pursuit of happiness). people establish goverment to protect those rights. The declaration of independence happened in July,4 1776!! The declaration of independence is a big part of our life's!!
Hi my name is my name is George Washington and was a leader. The reason I was picked to serve as a commander in the Continental Army because i was experienced. Benjamin Franklin and John Adams said I was tall and stood over everybody. The Battle Of Lexington and Concord was a success aginist the british. After the war we started walking.
ReplyDeleteBattle Of Saratoga was another success and it was the turning point of the was,but we had help. We had help from von Steuve and French and Spanish. He taught how to march and shot. After Battle Of Saratoga we headed to Valley Forge. When we got to Valley Forge it cold. Peoples feet were cold and some peoples shoes were evan gone it was so cold. People were dying from starvation and hypothermia. I kept on saying we got to keep on guard so the british don't leave Philidalphia. With it freezing we tried to put houses up, but they were poorly buildt. Only one side of the house had a fireplaces. When the spring came around it got a little better, but malaria was bad with the misqueitos around. Finally we went back to Boston and we were agausted from war. We had lost alot of people during the war and Valley Forge. I died of old age.
I am Phillis Wheatlie . what I do is write poems and plays. all the poems I do is about the things I have gone through in life.I even sometimes I write about wars .Most of the time it gets hard to think about what to write about. Most of the poems I write about have flow. When I write plays it is usually about independence . When Im done wit plays want people to say that is the best.
ReplyDeleteMy name is George Washington. I was born in the state of Virginia. I was chosen to lead the American troops because they knew I was a strong leader, and I had experience. The first armed battle of the war was at Lexington and Concord. After suffering at Valley Forge, my troops got some luck. A man named Baron von Steuben came and taught us how to march and drill properly, so we would be a better army.
ReplyDeleteAfter that, we were ready to fight! Then it was the turning point of the war: the battle of Saratoga. That helped us a lot because it convinced France to become an ally of us. When the battle at Yorktown came, my men were ready to win. They gave it all they had, and eventually Lord Cornwallis surrendered. When the war was over the Treaty of Paris was signed.I was so proud of my troops!
Hi my name is George Washington , I was the leader of the continental army. I helped my fellow Americans to win the Revolutionary war. I had to prove that I have strong leadership to france. Later France helped us win the Revolutionary war. They brought soldiers to help us win.
ReplyDeleteIn winter a harsh snowy day, soldiers were hungry ,cold, and some didn't have boots. They use clothing to protect their feet from the icy ,cold shivery ,harsh snow. They had to see if the the british was gone. They had to bring soldiers to get them out because they were freezing to death. In York Town Lord Cornwallis surrendered and then Treaty of Paris was signed by King George 111 . Later on I, George Washington Was the first president of the United State of America. I proud of myself that I was president. I serve for four years ,then soon I died years later.
Hi my name is John Locke I was an english philosopher that died 70 years before the revolutionary war. I influenced those of Thomas Jefferson and Benjamin Franklin. Also I think people have natural rights to life, liberty, and property. Government is created to protect the rights of people. They also have the limited and specific powers the people consent to give it. I said "The redcoats are coming".
ReplyDeletehi i AM George Washington, I am from the us, northern virginia. I am the commander and chief of the Continetal Army I and my soldiers fight for our indepence evey day.the colonies started to say hey we need some indepence when england stared to tax themThis led to the boston massacre led by the quartaring acts in 1774.the.Quarting act were when england said that british soldiers had to stay in the colonist's houses with out them having any say .The hasent been looking so good so far after the bristish were killing all my soliders in the lexington and concord it was the first armed battle of the war.But then the battle of Saratoga.

But the for this allwas to make sur that the british army did not leave the town.But the we had another battle at Yorktown were the british genenral surrendered to us this was the end of all battles of the war.This led to england signing the treaty of paris in 1783 this gave our indepence. finally all of the colonies got their freedom!!!!!1

ReplyDeleteHello, I am George washington I was the Commander and Chief of the Continental Army. Benjamin Franklin thought I would be good strong leader. I was taller than the usual man that made me stand out. von Steuben help me get my troops together. France and Spain also help me out by sending me stuff and fighting people in other parts of the world. My victory at Saratoga was the turning in the Revolutionary War. I died in 1799.

ReplyDeleteHi my name is George Washington I am the lead general in the Continental Army. You may know me better by the battle at York town and how I trapped and captured Cornwallis. The fight was long and hard at Valley Forge many of my men died because Congress was stingy with supplies. We had to use cloth as shoes and eat our horses. And my men were not soldiers they were farmers with guns what good is that. Finally the people heard our cry and sent supplies and a young man named BaronVonSteuben he whipped them into soldiers. And the battle of Long Island where they thought they had us cornered.I called a retreat to regroup and rearm we left the fire going and everything. If you the first their you were last on the ship. -George Washington

hi my name is george washington. i was the commander of the continental army. i also led my troops through valley forge. Valley Forge was a hard time cause it was cold and it was harsh. The weather was very very cold and it was snowing. here is one thing that happened. There we were in valley forge, the weather was fierce with wind speeds up to 60 mph, the temperature was minus 20 degrees! It was hard for me and my troops because we didn't have the training to survive through such fierce weather. we had hardly any food and we were starving. Many of my troops died from either starvation or disease because they didn't have the medicines they needed to keep them alive. so they lost many soldiers in valley forge.
