After watching the School House Rock video, consider the following critical analysis questions:
- Who is missing from this video?
- How is King George portrayed?
- How are the colonists portrayed?
- What is the apparent purpose of the taxes?
- How is the characterization of the U.S. President contrasted with the King of England?
What questions do you have?
How is the interpretation of the colonial resistance different from this one? HINT: add up the amount of money raised by the taxes on the colonists and compare that to the amount of money the "Peace Force" cost the British.
