Question 1 – Supporting the Revolution: Imagine that you lived during the time of the American Revolutionary War and had the same socio/economic/racial/gender position you have right now. Would you support efforts to gain independence from Great Britain or would you be loyal to the crown? Be sure to explain why you choose the side that you do. Remember, forming a new republic is an extremely radical idea that had never succeeded before and that an American patriotic identity was just beginning to form. Also remember that obedience to the crown had been taught to colonists as the way to be good citizens. Finally, just like with the Seven Year’s War, support is not just signing up to fight but also supplying troops, providing information to one side or the other, etc. Thus, the question is relevant for both men and women as the support of both groups is needed in war. Question 2 – Revolutionary or Civil? Some scholars have portrayed the American Revolution as being as much a civil war as a revolutionary one. What do you think? Was the American Revolution a civil war with revolutionary principles or was it a revolutionary war that developed civil war aspects? Be sure to fully explain your answer and to provide reasons for your answer. .

CONNECTING WITH MILLENNIALS (information found in Making Space f.docx

CONNECTING WITH MILLENNIALS (information found in Making Space for Millennials by Barna Group, 2015, p. 7. “Five major reasons that millennials stay connected with a Christian community: 1. Cultural discernment – engaging with the wider culture as a faith community, to assess and respond biblically to its effects on human flourishing. 2. Life-shaping relationships – consistent long-term friendship with at least one older Christian adult who invests time and resources into their lives. 3. A first-hand experience of Jesus – the confidence, through seasons of doubt and pain, that comes from having personally experienced God’s revelation in Christ. 4. Reverse mentoring – being valued for the knowledge, skills, and energy they can offer to older members of the community of faith. 5. Vocational discipleship – whole –life spiritual formation that includes understanding their work as a God-given calling. 13 Marks of a Planter (a mix of Charles Ridley’s classic 13 along with Paul Nixon’s observations coaching about six dozen planters to date.) ______________________________________________________________________________________________ 1. They can envision and articulate a desired future and effectively invite others to join them in a journey toward that future 2. Very strong personal spiritual practice and experience of God’s Call on their life (this results in courage and resilience) 3. History of effective, evangelistic conversation and relationships 4. An intense internal drive, even a hunger to do something very well – in this case to grow a church from scratch 5. They tithe 6. They love the community where they will be planting 7. Introvert/Extrovert is really not a big deal (but you will need some extroverts on your team) 8. They have spent quality time in highly evangelistic and innovative ministry – preferably in a new start. They know the DNA of the teams that pull off such things. 9. They embrace mentoring and coaching relationships 10. They can be both stubborn and flexible – and somehow they know when to be which 11. They get bored after three years on average 12. The family is fully bought in and the plant is a family affair. 13. It is almost never their first rodeo – they have done ministry start up before, they have grown ministry before, they have led people to faith before, they have discipled people before, and they have developed leaders before. Third Exam (Chapters 23-27) Option I: One Long Essay. Write one essay of about 4.5 pages about how America and the world changed in Chapters 23-27.

odiliagilby

· Question 3 4 out of 6 points Answer the following question in argumentative essay format: One thread running through our conversations during the first half of this course is development of American political thought. This has been specifically relevant with the coming of the American Revolution. How and why did colonial Americans feel they were justified in rebelling against Great Britain? Selected Answer: In general, the colonial looked for the independence and the rights form the Britain government. There are many reasons to make the colonial ready for fighting such as, they required the taxes highly and unreasonable, the right to assemble also were taken by British, they added more illogical laws to control as well as intimidate them. With these reasons, it can tells that they have a hard time to live under control of Britain government, and decided to separate their lives out of England. The colonial Americans feel they were justified in rebelling against Great Britain because Great Britain had established some of colonies in North America, and American will belong the citizens of Great Britain. However, the government of this country try to tied Americans by trade. In addition, everything about trade Americans have to depend on Britain such as imported goods and supplied. After the French and Indian War, Britain wanted to control into the western territories, and the people used to live here have to turn back to east of the mountains. When the war is over, and Britain needed a lot of money to pay for the war debt, so they said that they had the right to required some of taxes from the colonies to help the government to pay the debt. Everything did not stay on that, they tried to push the colonial pay more and more, and did not make sense to the colonial such as they had to pay for the imported goods. They protested, they believed that they broke the right as the Britain citizens. That is the reason the colonial started to against and ostracized with Britain goods, and they were ready to fight to take their right backs. Correct Answer: Well-thought out responses will note that American political thought emerged on the North American continent much earlier than the Revolutionary period. From the earliest contact period, English colonists noted the democratic forms of government practiced by Native Americans. They were also governed loosely by the English government. They were used to trading with whomever they pleased, they appointed their own political representatives who passed laws/policies independent of the English government, and they began to separate themselves culturally as time passed (certainly the case with respect to religiosity). By the time of the Revolutionary period, American colonists had a firm understanding of themselves politically and resented the interference in American life by the King and Parliament. In essence, the enforcement of British law in the 1760s prompted a violent response from ...
