The last two days in class we began to talk a little bit about the battle of Bunker Hill and the articals Common Sense and The Plain Truth. Yesterday we talked about the battles that the colonists and the British had. The colonists had a hudge advantage against the British. They knew the land and they knew where the roads ended and where the roads went. They used this stratagey to launch suprise attacks at the British. By doing this they were able to get the British into Boston. By doing this they then surrounded Boston with their military groups. Today in class we learned about the people who wrote common sense and plain truth. Common Sense was written by a man who believed that the colonies should in fact break away from England. The Plain Truth was written by a man who felt that they should stay with England. He pointed out in his peice that the British had their back during the French and Indian war and there for they should stay with England.
