In this WebQuest, you will research a specific event which lead to the Revolutionary War from one of the following perspectives: Patriot or Loyalist. You will get to act as a researcher, witness, jury, and judge as you decide if King George III was ultimately responsible for causing the Revolutionary War.

Introduction

King George, Your Beloved King?

Where do your loyalties lie?
Recently, there has been talk by some of your fellow countrymen of
taking action against King George III. Who has the nerve to take up
arms against his protector? Who would dare to bite the hand that
feeds them? For what reasons would a reasonable man separate from his own country???  Why would a man risk everything- even his life to
rebel against his own government?
 

Think about it!!  Which side would you choose?

Are you a Patriot?

Or

Are you a Loyalist (Tories)?
