Last two days of school 10-12-12

During the last two days of school we have learned about the Revolutionary war battles starting at Concord and Lexington and ending right after Bunker Hill. We watched a sort of animated slideshow that showed the class all the battles in between Concord and Lexington and Bunker Hill. We also learned that during all of these battles there were a lot more British casualties then American casualties and wounded. We saw how the American's took Breeds Hill and Bunker Hill and fought off the British multiple times before finally falling to the advancing British army. On friday we learned about The Common Sense articles, The Olive Branch Petition, and The Plain Truth. The Common Sense was a loyalist response to the Plain Truth and about why we should stay attached to England. The Plain Truth was a article about why we should gain independence from England. The Olive Branch Petition was a petition against the English telling them that if we got basic rights then we would stop fighting, however the English didn't agree to it. This was what we have learned in class.
