Lesson Outline
In today's session, Yanuell continued reading and discussing, King George: What Was His Problem? The Whole Hilarious Story of the American Revolution by Steve Sheinkin. He was able to read the third chapter, entitled: Who Fired the Shot Heard 'Round the World? This portion of the book focused on the Battles at Lexington and Concord and the fact that the British and American soldiers told very different versions of the events that took place. The British soldiers claim that they had marched (all 700 soldiers) out to Concord on a simple, peaceful errand and were viciously attacked for no reason by the "sneaky rebels." According to the Americans, a pack of "bloodthirsty" British soldiers had invaded the quiet towns of Lexington and Concord and had started shooting people for no reason. Yanuell recognized that regardless of whose version was accurate, the events that transpired outraged King George which led to war. Moreover, the King hoped to bring the Americans to their knees and was quoted as saying, "When once these rebels have felt a smart blow, they will submit."
