Discussion post

Question 1: These are “Noah Webster on Equality,” “Liberating Indentured Servants,” and “Letter of Phillis Wheatley.” This will be a relatively open-ended response, but I want you to reflect on what these three sources tell us about the concept of liberty and freedom in the Revolutionary era. Feel free to pull from our other readings (including the TEXTBOOK) in forming your response.

Question 2: “How did the Revolution diminish the freedoms of both Loyalists and Native Americans?”

After reading this, write an open response to this question:

1. How did the freedoms discussed in this chapter – or lack thereof – differ from the readings in discussion one from this week?
