Personal Goals: Studying the reasons and causes of colonists taking different sides. Why did different people fight for different reasons? Was one side right over the other? How does this connect to current events in the world today? I want students to see the “good guys” and “bad guys” that are developed in our history books and how they aren’t necessarily good or bad. I want students to look at the facts and not just the opinions of books and others.
