We then discussed the meaning of the following quotes to introduce the Revolutionary Unit:
“Distance
weakens authority; great distance weakens authority greatly.”
“In
a sense, to emigrate was to rebel."
“With
the passage of time many of the colonists began to think of themselves not as
transplanted Britons, but as Americans”
“The
Revolution was effected before the war commenced. The Revolution was in the minds and hearts of
the people.”
“In
a broad sense, America was a revolutionary force from the
day of
its discovery by Europeans.”
