Liz Posted October 12, 2008 Author Share Posted October 12, 2008 What exactly do you need help with? Ideas? we're supposed to write about what each group of people in colonial US thought freedom was, and compare and contrast them with each other and with what we believe freedom is today.

Dr. Tarrasque Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 If it's details on those things you have to cover, I suppose I can find some. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would Wikipidea it. Alot of people say that it's not factual, but I find the best information in the best format there. If you're teacher said not to use Wiki, then use it, but find another website and pretend to use that. But I usually just google search it. But I'm not really too good with projects.... Sorry. :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mufasa Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 One thing that I would point out though is that: Freedom today is different from freedom before. Back in those days, freedom seemed more like anarchy with witch trials and such, where as today, freedom may be slightly restricted, but there is less anarchy witch prevents the loss of life.

Dr. Tarrasque Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 Google "Freedom in colonial america" to see if you find anything useful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunshineYON Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 Obtaining the information is easy. Its the sitting down and actually writing the thing that is hard and something we obviously can't help you with. :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meteor Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 Nor is what we did necessarily interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cynthia Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 Nor is what we did necessarily interesting. That to, as Americans did a lot of what the countries before them did. Our laws are even based on others' laws. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doom103 Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 I would say we did a lot, but a lot of it isn't exactly to be proud of. Regardless of what we did or didn't do, I love my country and everything it stands for and if I have to risk my life to keep it that way then so be it. ANd I'm not proud of only two things 1.) Vietnam 2.) Iraq Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meteor Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 (edited) I like the concept but dislike how it has been abused. Edited October 14, 2008 by Meteor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
