Hello fellow TA's, not sure if I post'd in the right thread but...What do you guys feel led successful Virginia planters, and N.Carolina backcounrty freehold farmers to support the Revolution? Regarding such things as ecnomics/social, political, and intellect/religious factors. How did these factors influence their positon on both the external struggles to sever colonial ties to England and the internal struggle among Americans over how to control and reform colonial society...? Why did the different groups participate as they did ? any input is welcomed and appreciated, tnkz in advance.

I recommend you review the course materials rather then asking others to do your work for you.

i'm not asking anyone to do the work for me, I'm reviewing as well, input never hurt anybody, and I'm simply asking for that, I'm not asking anyone to DO it for me...

Why did rich planters join the fighting? Well many wealthier people were really motivated by Thomas Paine's publication "Common Sense". Even though they could absorb the taxes, it became a matter of pride and justice to them.
Reading things like this, and seeing the rising patriotism and determination of their fellow countrymen to fight sparked something in them, and they decided to join the rebellion. And some people foguht for religious reasons. They agreed with Thomas Jefferson when he said "Rebellion against tyranny is obedience to God"..

If you want feedback, you need to start a discussion by putting your thoughts first, and then seek opinions. You do not present any opinions yourself and just ask a bunch of questions. It doesn't work that way.

They were all religious fundamentalist terrorists and yes, that is what we are taught over here in history classes
Apparently they rejected our advanced and civilised ways and instead wanted to establish a theocracy in "God's chosen land" (ie America). It seems they were quite successful...
