Start your paper. Write an imagined conversation between two characters from the Revolutionary War period. These can be famous personages (George Washington and General Cornwallis, for example) or any persons you wish. Think about what they would have had to say to each other about the pressing issues of the day, and make sure that their conversation will reveal those issues and the different stands one might take on them. One of your characters should be in favor of the British cause and the other of the American cause. Today determine what you will write about, and make a general outline. When you finish the paper be sure to include a list of all the sources that you used in the paper. (This paper should be about 700 words long.) Make sure that your characters are addressing the grievances the Americans had against the British (the Declaration of Independence can help you). The American sympathizer will see these grievances as a very adequate reason for war, and the British sympathizer will have explanations of the problems, or he will deny them.
