Students are required to write one historical essay based on Alfred Young’s The Shoemaker and the Tea Party. Your paper should address the following issues: Who was George Robert Twelve Hewes and what role did he play in the American Revolution? Why did he act the part that he did? What do his experiences tell us about the coming of the revolution and, just as importantly, about the aftermath of the revolution? Does Hewes’s story match the kinds of stories that Americans usually tell about the nation’s independence and early history? In the course of making your argument, use at least one primary source document from Voices of Freedom to support your case. You may not incorporate any sources that are not listed on this syllabus, whether online or in print. Only Sources are the Book and Voices of Freedom Total:5-7 pp
