Your papers on the French & Indian War are due, unless I hear from you otherwise stating why an extension until Thursday is necessary. If you wish to meet about your draft between now and then, please contact me to set up a time.
In class, be prepared to discuss the rest of "Join or Die"/"Don't Tread on Me," James Otis's 1761 Writs of Assistance, the Proclamation of 1763, Molasses & Sugar Acts, Quartering Act, Stamp Act (& Repeal), Declaratory Act, Townshend Acts & the Sons & Daughters of Liberty. We will discuss Henry's "Give Me Liberty..." and preview Common Sense.
For those of you who like accompanying auditory clips, check out this recitation of Patrick Henry's speech (scroll to the bottom).
