We each chose one of our fictional characters and represented their perspectives in this discussion. The questions were: "How does your character feel about the events leading up to the Revolutionary War?" and "Does your character think that the colonists should go to war for their independence?"

Here's a condensed version of us talking about the pros and cons colonists had to consider before going to war, then sharing our opinions about whether they made the right choice. We also talked about why it's important to hear and understand all sides of the story when studying history, as well as in real life.
