You are in the Pre-Revolutionary time period, would you consider yourself a loyalist or patriot? (In your opinion would you side with England or the Colonists?)
What is your connection to England at this point? (Do you get your raw materials from England? Do you have family there? You may need to “make some of this up.”)
What is your connection to the Native people? (Do you trade or interact with local tribes?)

I’m a patriot because I think that men and women should have the same rights because they could think something different but have the same ideas. I would not connect with the Native people for weaving because they could be mean. My connection with England is amazing. I do get raw materials. I do not have any family in England.

I would be a Patriot, my family is from Germany, we came here for new opportunities. We would like to be our own country. And peer pressure because my friends said so.

I do not have a direct connection to England. I left behind my Aunts and Uncles, Cousins and Grandparents in Germany but I don't have any direct ties to England .

I don't really trade with the Indians, I grow all the food I need but I do interact with them, I trade in the winter when it's cold because they have the best furs.

I would be a Patriot not a Loyalist. I would be on the Colonist side, I would rather be buried then be on England's side.

My uncle Charles Johnson and my aunt Lydia Johnson live in England. I get all my material close to my home.

I do trade with a Native Tribe, close to my home. My wife sews them cloth loins in trade they gather bark for me.

I would consider myself a patriot instead of loyalest. I am better as a colonist not in England .I do not support or be loyal to the king gorge. I would not trade with England . I prefer being a colonist .

I have no connections in England. no kids of mine came from England. My hole family is patriots deep in family history are even patriots . I get some materials and silver from England . I prefer patriots then loyalest .

Ships often sail here .Sometimes i trade silver for Penney's . My uncle sails and works as a Indian.I traveled to here on a ship once too. British sail here too and people are in a huge crowd in front of my workshop.

I would consider myself a patriot. At this point I think England doesn't like my family. Our family has a long history of the kings not liking us. My great great great great great great great great grandparents are from Scotland. They knew King James. When he became king of England, they thought there would be peace with Scotland and England, but when Mary Queen of Scots died there was no peace with Scotland and England. We have no connection with the native people of the colonies, in fact they don’t really like us.

I would consider myself a patriot. I have some connection with England because I need materials for tinsmithing. All of my relatives are or have moved to the Colonies. We all moved to get away from the taxes. I have bad some history with some British soldiers. I do not interact with any native people because I have never seen one. I thought it would be interesting to meet a native some day. It is one of my dreams.

I consider myself a patriot. I would be on the colonist side because I do not like King George. He never told were the tax go. I do not have any connection with England. I also never got any materials from England. But my grandma who is turning 89 years old in two weeks is living in England because she is a loyalist. So whenever my family and I meet her we always have a fight about being a loyalist or a patriot. I do not trade with the Indians. I don’t trade because I never feel like trading crops because I already have what I need.

Patriot! I am a patriot because my family is not happy with King George. My dad says that he puts too many taxes on tea, and my mom says he is greedy with too many taxes on everything! We do not need to get supplies for making candles from England. We trade with the local tribes here for animal fat / tallow that we use to make our candles. It is a good thing to be able to trade because there is not a lot of paper money or coins to use.
