Feel free to compare the American Revolution to the French Revolution and the Pueblo Revolt of 1680. You may want to mention things such as the plight of African-Americans and Native Americans, struggles between certain groups of states, the challenge of expanding the right to vote and bringing the common man into a political system dominated by the mercantile elites.
You have editorial discretion on how much time to devote to each thing. The point is to demonstrate learning. The examples mentioned above are not exclusive to others you may find or read about. I leave it up to you to discuss how America was up to an imperfect start.
Write an exam essay of at least six to seven pages, double spaced 12 point New Times Roman font, discussing your thoughts on these readings.
