Debate in New York, 1774
It was estimated about one-third of American Colonists supported Revolution, one-third were loyalists, and one-third remained neutral. You are each assigned one of these factions. If you are Number 1-3, you are a Revolutionary. If you are 4-6, you are a Loyalist. If you are 7-10, you are Neutral (at least for now). Now that you have your faction, let’s examine the situation:
It is 1774, and Parliament has just issued the “Intolerable Acts”, closing the port of Boston, instituting martial law, as punishment for the Boston Tea Party. You are an elected representative of the people of the colony of New York.
The colonial legislature is debating the issue of the Intolerable Acts. What do you think New York can or should do in response to the situation in Massachusetts? Remember, you need to represent your faction in the ensuing debate.Also remember, this is two years before the pamphlet Common Sense or the Declaration of Independence. So declaring independence from Great Britain would not be a likely proposal, even for the revolutionary faction. Likewise, being a Loyalist did not mean always agreeing with everything Parliament did. It meant you were unwilling to go to the lengths of armed rebellion, but you may want to oppose the acts in other ways.
That said, what do you think New York can or should do in response?
