Do a web search and research a primary and secondary source about uprisings and/or
resistance in America. Explain what you found and why you chose it. Provide a
link or picture of your source.
One primary source I found about uprisings in America is the "Declaration of Independence," which was written in 1776 by Thomas Jefferson and adopted by the Second Continental Congress. This document outlines the grievances of the American colonies against British rule and declares their independence. The Declaration of Independence is a significant primary source that reflects the resistance and uprising of the American colonists against British oppression.
One secondary source I found is an article from History.com titled "10 Uprisings in American History." This article provides information about various uprisings and resistance movements throughout American history, including the Boston Tea Party, the Whiskey Rebellion, and the Stonewall riots. It offers a comprehensive overview of different acts of resistance and uprising in America.
I chose these sources because they provide valuable insights into the history of uprisings and resistance in America. The Declaration of Independence is a foundational document that represents the spirit of revolution and resistance in the country, while the article from History.com offers a broader perspective on various acts of rebellion in American history.
