I would like to welcome Dr. Michael J. Mullin to The History Book. Dr. Mullin is a professor at Augustana College. Dr. Mullin is the first professor to participate with us in Project Beyond the Classroom and for that, I would like to thank him very much. It is the goal of Project Beyond the Classroom to provide opportunities for students to learn about American History in a different way. Being able to learn from an esteemed professor of history with seemingly limitless knowledge can benefit us all. As a class, we brainstormed and came up with a list of questions we would like to know a little bit more about. With the help of Dr. Mullin, we have an opportunity to dig a little deeper in American History. Again, thank you, Dr. Mullin. My students are excited to read your thoughts.Questions:
1. Why did the Declaration of Independence exclude certiain groups such as Native Americans, African Americans and women yet the document was based on individual freedom and rights? Was it ever changed?
2. Do you think the Patriots could have won without foreign help?
3. What 2 people do you think were the MOST important in the American Revolution? Why?
4.What do you think was the key to American victory?
5. What was the level of Native American involvement in the American Revolution?
6. How did the Continental Congress fund the American Revolution?
7. What if the Patriots would have lost?
Thank you very much, we are all looking forward to hearing from you.
