The United States of America, 2012

[Carp]

This week in class, we will be studying the events associated with America's founding: its role as a British colony, the events leading up to the American Revolution, the Declaration of Independence, the failed Articles of Confederation, and the eventual development of the United States Constitution and Bill of Rights.

Take a moment to imagine what would have happened if the American Revolution had never taken place.  Suppose Parliament accepted the American colonists' cries of "No Taxation Without Representation!"  Think about the colonists having no reason to meet in Philadelphia as either the first or second Continental Congresses or needing to issue the Declaration of Independence.

How different do you think the United States of America in 2012 would be had the American Revolution never happened?

It will be different beacause society will be more on a positive side besides the negative side like it is now. For example less crimes and killings will be committed

[Jerome Sawyer]

The society would be a little better because I think back then it was more civilized! But it will still be crime and killings just not as much

[Jerome Sawyer]

[Jerome Sawyer]

I agree Ryan

[Dayshe Hardy]

we probably have more money and we would be in the british protect group still. Then it would be different because it we would not have to pay that much in taxes

[Dayshe Hardy]

i agree with ryan and it would be more calm and prices would probably would be low..

[martell simmons]

It will be different because America would have alot of rules and litigations

[martell simmons]

I don't agree it would be better because it would probably have rules and regulations

[Raenesha Reynolds]

I think the world would be kind of different. We would not have a president. I think it may kind of benefit our world some sense though. There would not be as much crime and bad behavior!

[ryan thomas]

I agree with dayshe because money would have increase at least 10%

[Raenesha Reynolds]

I agree with Ryan. There would be a lot less criminal activity happening in the world!

[James Gibson]

Things wouldnt be much different except that it would probably be less crimes, more money, and taxes would be much less.

[James Gibson]

I agree because things were much more civilized and crimes were took more serious.

[jacob smith]

ifeel that the world would be different, better and more safe for people, but at the same time you cant stop what people do.

 

[jacob smith]

i agree because, people be tripping now days...

[david clark]

I think the U.S would have less violence and crimes. Also maybe less taxes.

[david clark]

I agree James, things would probably be alot similar to what it is now
