Write a letter to a fictional family member; where the family member lives is your
choice.
You currently live in Colonial America in 1776, immediately after the Declaration of Independence has been
announced throughout the colonies. Where you live in Colonial America is your choice.
In your letter, you will identify yourself as a loyalist or a patriot, and discuss whether the political actions taken
by King George III or the Continental Congress were enough. Discuss how the people in your colony are
feeling and reacting to the acts that have been imposed. Briefly describe the economic, political, and social
impacts you will face; what actions will you take as the 13 colonies and Great Britain wage war?
