I was born January, 12, 1773 in Braintree (Quincy), Massachusetts. I died on October 8, 1793. I was an orphanage child, adopted by a wealthy uncle. In 1763 his uncle died. I was the greatest body of wealth in New England. I was the business man of London. He was the first to sign the deceleration. I am special because, I graduated at the age of 17. I think it is something special to be a hero because; you are being kind and helping that person. Yes my person was a hero because; he helped to get the people excited so there not scared when they fight.

I lived from 1722-1803. I am an American statesman, politician, writer, political philosopher, brewer, and was a Founding Father of the United States. I was a great support to the rebellion against the British. Three important things that I did were becoming the fourth governor of Massachusetts, opposed to British control, played a prominent role during protests against the Stamp Act. I’m Interesting because I was bankrupt. Three adjectives that I would describe myself as are smart kind and cunning. I think being a hero means to put your life first to protect other people. I’m a hero because I signed my name on the Declaration of Independence.

I was born on January 29, 1737 in Thetford, Norfolk in England. I was the son of a Quaker. After a short education, I started to work for my father, then as an officer of the excise. During this time, I was an unsuccessful man, and I was dismissed twice from my post. Then in 1774, I met Benjamin Franklin and decided to emigrate to America, with recommendation letters from Benjamin Franklin.
On November 30, 1774, I landed in Philadelphia. At this time, I had also gotten a job as the co-editor of the Pennsylvania Magazine.
I was important to the American Revolution because I published a pamphlet called “Common Sense.” In it, I made a compelling case for independence that won many to the case. Three important events were becoming famous, publishing many books, and helping the Revolutionary War. I am an interesting person because I made a book that helped many people make decisions about the war. I am quite smart, creative, and enduring. I think a hero is someone who helps other people, without having superpowers. I would consider myself as a hero, I guess because I helped people make a choice.

On April 30, 1789, , standing on the balcony of Federal Hall on Wall Street in New York, took his oath of office as the first President of the United States. “As the first of everything, in our situation will serve to establish a Precedent,” he wrote James Madison, “it is devoutly wished on my part, that these precedents may be fixed on true principles.”

A) If I were an American slave and got the opportunity to be in the American Revolution I would be an American soldier. I would be on the American because I think that one day I would I would want to live in America, and I wouldn’t want to betray them. I would also want to join them because I know they have won many battles.
B) If I were a soldier at Valley Forge during the harsh winter of 1777-1781, I would stay with the other soldiers because I made a commitment to them. If I came home early, I think I would feel ashamed with myself; I would be comfortable to go back home when the war is over.

1. If I were an African slave who was offered the opportunity to fight in the American Revolution, I would choose to be on the American side. I would choose that side because I think one day I would want to live in America, and I wouldn’t want to betray them. I would also want to join them because I know that have won many battles.
2. If I were a soldier at Valley Forge during the harsh winter of 1777-1778, I would stay with the other soldiers because I made a commitment to them. If I came home early, I think I would feel ashamed with myself. I would be comfortable to go back home when the war was officially over.

I sadly died at 21 years old; I died September 22, 1776,
I was hung by the neck by a king servant.
I was occupied in a job as a martyr solider on the American Revelation, I was under age and signed up to be a soldier, and I felt like a hero! I wanted to save the people of the world and go down in history. I loved my job it full filled my dreams completely! I’m glad I had a chance like that.
Before into the army I was a public school teacher, I loved to teach English it was my favorite subject.
After I quit being a public school teacher I got engaged to a beautiful woman (name UN known)
She supported me into full filling my dreams and be a solider for a period of time.
(When she died is UN known) I wanted to live for the people not for me, I wanted to save lives and let them live happy.
I’m thankful for getting this opportunity and saving many people.
I had goals in life and I wanted to achieve them, I worked for my goals I pushed myself to strive!!!
I am very determined in everything, and the most of all I wanted to help myself in life and living life happier than ever!! I think what it means to be a hero is that you help someone, something, the world, even just a little thing and you could be a hero. My person felt like a hero her really did he loved his life and helping people. He felt like one because he helped people with the simplest things and he felt like a hero, but he felt like a hero to himself for living his 21 years of life happy!!!

1. I would choose the Americans because I don’t want to be defeated or breathe my last breath. Because if I would choose British that would be the last time I would see light or see anything in my life, and because Americans rock! And the British don’t because they lose and everyone dies all the time. And I would choose the Americans because I know we won’t lose, also we they are ready to brawl, they are prepared.
3. I would participate in raids against British because they deserve to be defeated, and the Americans will definitely prevail. And the British should learn from their mistakes and get prepared early and not at the last minute when were at war, and they should learn how to fight. So this is why I would participate in raids against British.

Iwas born on January 10th, 1738 in Litchfield Connecticut. I joined in the continental army when I was 13 and participated in secret missions to Canada. I was then captured by the British on September 25, 1775 and sent to England. I was treated very harshly and returned as a prisoner on May 6, 1778. I missed most of the American Revolution due to this.
After my father died I Married Mary Brownsonshortly after and we had 5 beautiful children Loraine, Joseph, Lucy Caroline, Mary Ann, and Permelia. Mary was six years older than I was. Mary died in 1783 of Tuberculosis. I then got remarried to Frances Montresor Buchanan. We had 3 beautiful children: Fanny, Ethan, and Hannibal. I was in the military from 1771-1791. I was a hero for being the historical reader of Vermont’s Green Mountain Boys and became the Vermont folklore hero. People celebrated me for my courage and vigor. Some people call me the Vermont’s well known military hero.
People call me special because I was in the military for fourteen years and was leader of Vermont’s Green Boys and missed nearly all the American Revolution.
