Stamp Act Intolerable Acts
Townshend Act Boston Tea Party
Declaration of Independence Results of the War

1. Would your group have gone to war to declare indepedence from Britain?

It depends, because we all want independence, but we don’t want to go to war if we don’t have enough soldiers.
But if we did have soldiers, we would definently go to Britain to fight for our freedom. We think that every country deserves their freedom and independence, and we will do anything to earn ours. Our final decision is not to go to war because war doesn’t solve anything, it only makes problems worse. It also messes you up mentally and physically, and we don’t want to take that risk.

2. What were the major points that made your decision?
We chose not to go to war because we didn’t want to take the risk of mentally and physically damaging our soldiers, and ourselves. We realized that war doesn’t solve anything, it only makes matters worse. Instead, we should make an agreement between the two parties.

3. Did all group members agree with the decision?
Yes, we all would chose this because we know the consequences. We have learned that revenge leads to war, and listening to the two parties opinions leads to an agreement, which eventually leads to peace.

4. What are the alternatives to war?

  • Trying to work out the problem
  • Listening to each others opinions
  • Make a Peace Treaty
  • Make necessary laws
  • Agree to NO more fighting
  •  End it all!!!!
