Quote:

“However, arguably the taverns’ most important role in society (and American history) is the role they played in the beginning of the Revolutionary War. As anger spread throughout the colonies, many took to the tavern to discuss, argue, and debate what needed to be done. One location in particular, Boston’s  Green Dragon Tavern  (or as Daniel Webster put it “ the Headquarters of the Revolution ”) played host to the infamous “Sons Of Liberty” who, presumably after a couple of pints of spruce beer or molasses-infused porters, plotted the “Boston Tea Party.” It’s not hard to imagine why a couple of ales could have played a role in nudging along the idea of dressing like a Native American and dumping some of the East India Company’s finest tea into Boston Harbor.”

Paraphrase:

• Taverns played a big role in the Revolutionary war
• When there was anger in the colonies about the war a lot of people went to taverns to discuss  it
• Sons Of Liberty was started in a tavern (The Sons of Liberty was an organization of American colonists that was created in the Thirteen American Colonies.)
• In a tavern the Boston Tea Party was planned out
• They dumped the finest teas into the harbor 

My Ideas:

Taverns were very important in the War for many reasons. One reason was you could get away and talk to your buddies about the war and no British soldiers would hear you. In taverns you could have privacy and during the war feel safe. Another reason why taverns were important in the war was the colonists plotted a lot of ideas to fight the British and to rebel against them. I infer that a tavern was one of the most important locations of a colonial town based off of other cards and other information.  Without taverns towns would not be the same. This also connects on Native American tribes would not be the same without meeting houses. In taverns they plotted a revolution, without taverns America might not be the same.

This a note card on taverns in the war. In this note card I used a quote that was very strong and my ideas on the topic and quote was very strong. I also am proud of this work because I got a good grade. As I learned more about mine topic I got better at doing note cards. When I started my analysis was not as good as now. I also worked a lot harder on my note cards. For example, I went into greater detail, I explained my work and connected to the three cultures.
