Colonists and Conflict
Paper instructions:
In Eric Foner’s Give Me Liberty, he describes examples of social, political, cultural and class conflicts among the colonists. More information about these conflicts, including the participants themselves describing their thoughts and experiences can be found in Foner’s Voices of Liberty, Give Me Liberty-Online and other sources. Based on your readings and research you should consider what caused these conflicts and how were they resolved? What impact did they have on the development of social, political and cultural life in the colonies?
