Thesis Statements

If you didn't get a check plus on your American Revolution thesis statements, you will want to rewrite them and turn them in so you can get that 100!

The questions, if you need them again, are below. Feel free to come talk to me if you need help with wording or do not understand my comments. Have a great Monday!

1) Were the goals of the American revolutionaries more political or economic in nature?
