HIST 120 Dr. Schaffer

Patriot and Loyalist Propaganda Text and images from Robert D. Marcus et al., America Firsthand, Volume 1, 8

th edition (Boston, 2010), pp. 103‒09.

Questions to think about:

1. What images appear repeatedly the drawings? Why do you think these particular images were used to represent

different conflicts between the colonists and Great Britain?

2. On p. 3, col. 1, Marcus asks you to think about the role of women in resisting British taxation. What clues do

Figures 3, 4, and 6 give about the role of women in eighteenth-century colonial society? About how women were

viewed by men? And about how the British viewed the colonists? (As far as we know all of these images were

created by men.)

3. Based on your own opinion and what you have read about these images, which seems the most effective to you

and why? (Note that some of the images are also discussed on Out of Many.)
