 * Based on your reading "The rights of the Colonists" and the document that you completed the APPARTS for, what do you see as the major reasons that colonists decided to revolt against their British rulers? In other words, what were they fighting for/against?

**Based on "The Rights of the Colonists" and my APPARTS chart, one main reason that the colonists went against their British rulers was because they were being taxed without anyone representing them in British Parliament. Since they were technically still subjects of England, the colonists believed that this was unjust. They were fighting for the right to be able to govern and tax themselves. The colonists also felt like they should be able to trade with whomever they please as oppopsed to being limited to trading with Britain.**


 * Give specific examples of how people chose to fight for their freedom during the American Revolution AND explain them (you may want to explore the Mass Historical Site a bit more to answer this question).

**There were many ways that the colonists fought back against Britain, not always involving combat. One was the founding of The Sons of Liberty was in 1765. The group mainly campaigned against the Stamp Acts and organized protests against Stamp Act officials. Another was was boycotting British goods, such as tea, to protest the Townshend Acts.**


 * Give another example from history of when people took part in a "revolution". What happened? Why? Who was involved? Who was not?

**The Civil Rights Movement was a revolution that changed American culture. African-Americans were angered and upset by the racial prejudice they faced by white people. One of the main leaders of this revolution was Martin Luther King Jr. He was responsible for organizing many non-violent protests, such as the bus boycotts. Another Key person involved with the Civil Rights Movement was Rosa Parks, who refused to give up her seat to a white man and was arrested. Anyone who was against the racial prejudice and wanted to put an end to it, no matter what the race, was allowed to help Civil Rights Movement leaders to make a difference. People who weren't involved included members of the Ku Klux Klan and others who were racist against the African-American community.**
