The students shared the
results of their research. I took that information and showed them how multiple
events, decisions and actions built up to cause the Revolutionary War. We then
talked about the willingness of the colonists to suffer for what they believed
was right and the willingness of some to surrender their rights because it is
easier than taking a stand. We wrapped up with a couple of illustrations of how
the colonies could have lost the war, but God intervened.
