This is not an easy decision. Each person knows that they are responsible for their choices, their actions, and the possible consequences of those actions. <\/p>\n

Things to consider: <\/div>\n
1. What options are available to the colonists at this point?
\n(This may seem obvious but don’t <\/div>\n
skip this step.) <\/div>\n
2. \ufeff\ufeff\ufeffWhat role might a Patriot, male or female, take before, during, and after the firefight? How <\/div>\n
might a loyalist respond? Please provide at least two ways each of these might put their beliefs <\/div>\n
into action. Specific historical examples will better demonstrate an understanding of the <\/div>\n
situation; avoid vague or unsupported responses. \ufeff\ufeff\ufeff<\/span><\/div>\n
3. What consequences might stem from these actions?
\nConsider specific ways people’s <\/div>\n
decisions could affect themselves and those around them. How might being a Patriot or Loyalist influence their community? Their families? Themselves? <\/div>\n
4. consider your response based on who you are and what you have learned so far in the class. <\/div>\n
If you lived in Boston in 1770, which side would you choose? Think of the societal tensions and <\/div>\n
pressures that may have caused this tumult. Explain why.
\nKeep your answer historically <\/div>\n
consistent. What might be required of you if you follow through with your decision?
\nWhat might be the possible consequences? Would you be willing to take the responsibility to act on your <\/div>\n
principles? <\/div>\n
