Rethinking the Revolution

Five Facts from Rethinking the Revolution:

1) I learned that many people see the civil war as more important than the American Revolution because it seemed more "modern" to them, because of the camera and it's abilities.

2) It is easy for people to remember events of the American Revolution because they are famouse; the Boston Teaparty and the Sons of Liberty are both known throughout many households in America.

3) Although paintings can be seen as a portrayal of the past, many paintings about the American revolution "give a distorted view of events".

4) Many British troops died on the trip to the Americas because of diseases and unsanitary living conditions on the ships.

5) Although it seems like the American Revolution had little death among civilians widespread disease often came from the nearby military camps.
