>>>Suppose you were 15 year old Joseph Martin who volunteered to fight in the American Revolution. Read the information below, and write a postcard to one of your friends back home. Either you're writing to them encouraging them to come fight against the British with you, OR you are writing to tell them not to help fight against the British because of what you've seen and heard once you joined.<<<
