Essay
There will be a short essay question on the test. You will be able to choose from the topics listed below.
* Explain the role France played during the war. Include how France became involved and why this country was so important to the colonists. (Battle of Saratoga)
* Explain how a patriot and a loyalist would look at a specific event differently. Be sure to give lots of details. (Choose one event and give examples.)
Your essay will be graded on organization, historical content, and mechanics (spelling, capitals, etc)
