Description A Letter to a Family Member It is September 1776. The news of the Declaration of Independence has swept through the colonies, and you are just now learning of this historical event. You take pen to paper to write to a family member to reflect about what this means. In your letter, make certain to discuss: Where do you live in Colonial America? Are you a patriot or a loyalist? Share with your family member at least one social, political, or economic event that you believe led the Continental Congress to write the Declaration of Independence. Why did this event lead to the writing of the Declaration of Independence? Do you believe that the Declaration of Independence was the correct course of action for the Continental Congress to take? Why, or why not? What actions will you take (whether required or volunteered) as America and Great Britain wage war?
