Essay Question - Write an essay approximately 400-words-long addressing the following two questions: 1. How did new ideas (and the circulation of those ideas). along with more tangible historical events (such as unpopular laws, acts, conflicts. etc.) encourage American colonists to revolt against Great Britain? and 2. How would you describe American political leadership in the aftermath of the American Revolution, specifically in terms of their conception and creation of a new country? For example, did these "Founding Fathers" act pragmatically, idealistically, hypocritically, or in some other way? In your essay, be sure to support your arguments with evidence from primary sources (secondary sources can be used as well, but primary sources are always preferred). Make sure that your ideas flow together logically and avoid vague generalizations. Be specific!
