Questions:
1. Historian Howard Zinn mentions that in Maryland after the war, ninety percent of the state’s population could not vote. Do you think this was typical of the other states? How and why? When was the electorate broadened to include all men, regardless of property ownership? To include all American citizens?
2. How does this chapter support the phrase, “It was a rich man’s war and a poor man’s fight”? Do you agree or disagree with this belief? How and why? Do you believe that this phrase is applicable to today’s American army (in terms of the fighting force)? How and why?
3. What did the enslaved and free African Americans stand to gain—or lose— from the Revolution? Why did Washington refuse to allow enslaved African Americans to fight the British in exchange for their freedom?
