Unruly Americans by Mr. Martinez https://padlet.com/joseph_martinez1/uwdy02rlgccw Include two key concepts that you gathered from any of the following sections of the reading: Indispensible Allies, "Domestic Insurrections", and an Ambiguous Legacy. When you finish your thoughts, pose a thought provoking question about the reading. en-us 2016-08-23 13:10:14 UTC 2025-11-19 06:28:58 UTC hello@padlet.com If Harambe never died would you still love him? https://padlet.com/joseph_martinez1/uwdy02rlgccw/wish/119460850 2016-08-23 19:33:20 UTC https://padlet.com/joseph_martinez1/uwdy02rlgccw/wish/119460850 Alissa, Brandon, Kameron https://padlet.com/joseph_martinez1/uwdy02rlgccw/wish/119460906 1. It's interesting how much  the war effected the African American population.  Most of them were slaves and used the colonists' protesting as an open door to put forth their shouts for freedom as well.  Some slaves were able to gain their freedom through fighting in the war on both sides. Two northern states abolished slavery in the end, while colonies that expanded west kept their slaves. 
2. The Revolutionary War somewhat benefitted the women and brought them closer to earning more rights. They grew more confident and independent taking over for their husbands while they fought in the war and also helping with the boycotts. However after the war it once again became a struggle for them to earn their rights but they were more determined to achieve them.

Many colonists were furious at King George lll and his American representatives for and his American representatives for signing an alliance with the African Americans. 
2. Most Americans did not want to leave the British Empire. They just wanted territory, trade, and no taxes. 

Question: If a large portion of Americans did not have the desire to leave the British Empire, why did they allow it? ]]> 2016-08-23 19:35:51 UTC https://padlet.com/joseph_martinez1/uwdy02rlgccw/wish/119461400 Roberto, Rhiannon, Braydon and Igor https://padlet.com/joseph_martinez1/uwdy02rlgccw/wish/119461475 Two Key Concepts in the reading of Unruly Americans were:

1. One-fifth of the Colonists in the South were enslaved and when the slaves asked to fight for their freedom, they were turned down and were threatened to be executed.

2. Even though the Native Americans fought alongside and helped the Colonists with their strategies against the British they were excluded from the talk of peace in France in 1783.

If the Native Americans and Slaves knew that they would not gain anything from the war and understood that they would end up worse off, do you think they would have helped out the British against the colonists?]]> 2016-08-23 19:36:14 UTC https://padlet.com/joseph_martinez1/uwdy02rlgccw/wish/119461475 Ethan B., Dominick D., Brandon R., LL https://padlet.com/joseph_martinez1/uwdy02rlgccw/wish/119461624 1.  Women were very important in boycotting British goods as they would make their own clothes and were very heavy tea drinkers which helped in tea and clothing boycotts.
2. Hessian mercs, T-Paine's Common Sense, and lives lost at Lexington, Concord, and Bunker Hill, all converted many Americans to the cause of independence.
Were Americans overreacting when they decided to support a revolution in America?]]> 2016-08-23 19:36:56 UTC https://padlet.com/joseph_martinez1/uwdy02rlgccw/wish/119461624 Riley and Bella https://padlet.com/joseph_martinez1/uwdy02rlgccw/wish/119461634 1. While some may say that women helped during the war, it doesn't mean they benefit from the aftermath. While the men were fighting, it gave an opportunity for them to work in the colonies. However, after the war, they were forced to give up their jobs, and weren't given any suffrage.

2. White men seemed to be the only group of people in the new nation of the United States of America to benefit. Jefferson, the person to say all men were created equal, was a slave holder.

Question- 
After the Revolutionary War, how did the country become together, but also push groups of people apart?  ]]> 2016-08-23 19:37:00 UTC https://padlet.com/joseph_martinez1/uwdy02rlgccw/wish/119461634 Jasmin, Alexa, Nicole, Elias https://padlet.com/joseph_martinez1/uwdy02rlgccw/wish/119461697 Two key concepts in Indispensible Allies :
1. The negative response of the American colonists about the British rules
2. Boycotts of trade with Britain
Q: Why did the Boston Massacre create so much publicity?]]> 2016-08-23 19:37:18 UTC https://padlet.com/joseph_martinez1/uwdy02rlgccw/wish/119461697 Grace, Lauren, Phillip, Q   https://padlet.com/joseph_martinez1/uwdy02rlgccw/wish/119461735 1. Why was the outcome of the Revolutionary war more complex for African Americans?
Concepts:
-  Americans Boycott, and their families followed
- African Americans took their chance at rebelling and supported colonists]]> 2016-08-23 19:37:24 UTC https://padlet.com/joseph_martinez1/uwdy02rlgccw/wish/119461735 Brooke, Tobias, and Melody https://padlet.com/joseph_martinez1/uwdy02rlgccw/wish/119461907 The colonists were enslaved and had to fight for their freedom. The colonists were angry at King George lll for singing in the alliance with the African Americans. Women helped in the war but didn´t get much after the matter. The French wanted to get land back from the British so they fought against them. ]]> 2016-08-23 19:38:28 UTC https://padlet.com/joseph_martinez1/uwdy02rlgccw/wish/119461907 Anielle https://padlet.com/joseph_martinez1/uwdy02rlgccw/wish/119462532 1.  Domestic Insurrection:
King George III formed an alliance with African Americans.
2. African Americans took the opportunity of the Revolution to fight for their freedom.

Question: If most or all the slaves had worked on the rebel's side, would the revolution have ended sooner or would it create more problems (due to social class/discrimination)?

Which didn't work in the end.

2. Taxation without representation was one of the causes of the revolution. 

Q: How come in some states slavery was abolished but in other states they had to fight for their freedom?

Even though women helped with politics and clothing, many women did not have equal rights. 

2. Some African Americans were free due to fighting 

Question: If the Americans lost the revolution ' s side, what would lifebe like today?  ]]> 2016-08-30 22:22:09 UTC https://padlet.com/joseph_martinez1/uwdy02rlgccw/wish/120707335
