Factors that Handicapped the Crown's Ability to Wage Effective War
PBS has a series called Liberty!, which presents lots of information in a teacher's guide to accompany the series.
Follow this link to find the list they have prepared of Factors that Handicapped the Crown's Ability to Wage Effective War. We can certainly consider these to be either American advantages or British disadvantages.

Close Reading of the D of I
**THIS IS NOT HOMEWORK!! It will be a class activity**
Look at this website: http://www.ushistory.org/Declaration/document/congress.htm
It presents to you Jefferson's original draft of the Declaration of Independence as submitted to the Second Continental Congress (and seen debated in 1776).
Your job is to identify the reasons behind each change. Generally, they will fall into one of two groups (although some will fall into both): grammatical or political.
Make a chart in which you write down the change (you can write the first three or four words then the last three or four words, with an ellipsis in between), and then identify the reasons for the change.
In this task, you will be closely reading the Declaration of Independence as well as identifying the reasons they made the changes they did. Think carefully about the Age of Enlightenment, and what affect the ideas and ideals of that time would impact the words and changes.
