Annoted Bibliography AR

Hi Guys,
Here is your second blog assignment!
1. Find one good source on the San Diego Library website for your research topic. (One you think you will be able to use or that helps you shape your research question, or answer it)
2. Cite that source using the MLA guidelines listed on my DP
3. Write a paragraph explaining that source (what was it about? what topics doe sit cover? why was is useful? how did you use it?)
4. There should be two sources for each group.
5. Feel free to copy and paste the MLA citation, but both people should read the article and write their own annotation (paragraph explaining the source)


"Leaders, strategy and tactics in the American War of Independence." Study Unit. History Study Center. ProQuest LLC. 12 Feb. 2009 .

this page helped me a lot about my question but i think that a little more pages and more time researching might helped me understand how and the Americans win the the war. i earned a lot about how the military branches were formed and when. another question i might have is why have an army, navy and marines?? best thing i learned from the article was that George Washington led the colonist to victory then became president, i did not know that.

Rise to Rebellion

http://www.bookstellyouwhy.com/pictures/10351.jpgRise to Rebellion by Jeff Shaara
The book Rise to Rebellion is a book about the American Revolution, it starts from the Boston Massacre all the way to the signing to the Declaration of Independence. Im at the part where the people are starting to realize and think of what the king of Britain is wrong and the people are angry i think is where they start planning something. From what i know I think that the people are going to go to the Boston Tea Party and make a mess and start a war.
A good question related to the book and to the American Revolution is "How had the American's war for independence influence the tactics which were used for battle?"
