i would declare independence. my reasoning for this is that they taxed us they killed four of my peers. I feel that after everything we can't just smooth things over at this point i would riot. I feel that it is unfair how Britain thinks they have the right to control me, but no they don´t we are our own people.

If I were a colonist I would say no, because they have caused a lot of carnage like how they caused first blood, and I feel like that's a moment that will never be forgetted.

I would declare independence because if I were to smooth things with them, I feel like they would still tax us. I declare independence in that way Britain wouldn't do that again.

I would declare independence. Last time I tried to smooth it out with them it Ended in blood being shed. If get independence I can be free. At Lexington and Concord we showed that we actually have a chance.

I would prefer to try and declare independence over great Britain because if we try and smooth things over Britain might hold a grudge against us. We already proved that we could fight back against the british so why stop trying to fight them now after blood has been shed.

I would declare independence because when they sent a letter to King George III in the first continental congress King George choose to ignore it. besides if they sent soldiers to concord and lexington to take weapons and battle that's a pretty obvious sign of war. If we stand a chance at lexington and concord then why not defeat them instead of going for peace

I would declare independence because the war had already started and there's no going back

I would declare independence because we already lost a lot in the battle. They also made it harder for us to keep out businesses and a lot of the colonists have lost lives.

I would declare indepence because I think the rules are unfair to the colonists. Also colonists have gotten killed so I think they should have indepence.

I would rather declare independence. Blood has already been shed and I feel like there is no forgetting or going back at this point.

# data[].attributes.body
I would declare independence because blood has been shed people have died and you can't give their lives back. Britain will just keep placing unfair laws that is inhumane to anybody.

# data[].attributes.body
I would forget about it and declare independence. I feel as though we are already in to deep because of the battle of lexington and concord, so why go back now after all of our soldiers risked there lives to protect us.
