Week of 3-29-10 (Part II of The Patriot)

The Patriot (6.2.1)

As you remember, the last unit stressed the importance of the Revolutionary War. Not only did it embrace the thoughts of the Enlightenment, but it also became an inspiration and model for other revolutions as countries struggled to establish the fact that the “little people” did matter and monarchy had to end.
