Both questions will appear on the exam. 1. Describe the series of events leading to the American Revolution. What influences did the Great Awakening and the Enlightenment have on this great event? What were the complaints of the colonists? Were their issues and complaints justified? What were the challenges faced by the independence leaders? What accounted for their ultimate success, and what challenges did they face after the war? Explain using examples from the reading. 2. In the motion picture Revolution (Warner Bros., 1985), the American trapper Tom Dobbs is unwillingly swept into the events of the American independence movement in New York during the summer of 1776. Dobbs and his son Ned continue in the war through its conclusion at the Battle of Yorktown in 1781. In your essay briefly recount the circumstances of Dobb’s involvement and participation in the war, pointing out issues in both the film and the readings. Specific issues to address should include those related to class, gender, race, etc. How were common Americans of the middling sort encouraged to participate in the war? Were promises made to them kept? Were their goals of the upper sort the same as the “patriotic” interests of the common folk? Be specific with regard to examples from the movie and be sure to tie these cases with examples from the readings or no credit will be assigned
