As we work through the unit above, student groups should keep in mind the perspectives of men and women of different ranks, including white settlers, free and enslaved African Americans, and Native Americans. We should discuss these perspectives, because our history books sometimes just report from one perspective. If you were a Native American during the Revolutionary War, what would you say about the affairs at hand? 3. Students will continue to watch video clips: A.
