Talk:US History/Contents/American Revolution

From Wikibooks, the open-content textbooks collection

Genelowrey 21:33, 2 March 2006 (UTC)The article under "Lexington and Concord" states that the "Shot Heard 'Round the World" was the first shot fired on Lexington Green. This is a common misconception (and perhaps that shot should be so named), but the actual "shot heard 'round the world" was fired several hours later at the old north bridge in Concord. The phrase originally came from Emerson's poem about the Concord fight.Genelowrey 21:33, 2 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Content & structure

--Ccny930 02:12, 20 December 2006 (UTC) The chapter seems too "loose" if it aims to describe the Revolution. Some sections barely have any material (see "Canada") whereas others are almost personal accounts of the battles themselves (see "The Battle of Boston"). If no one objects, I'll add some content to the shorter sections to balance the chapter out. Hopefully, we can get it to be at least 75% complete.

--Ccny930 02:49, 20 December 2006 (UTC) Well, after a half-hour's work, I reorganized several sections and added missing content. Then I changed the image in the Table of Contents to 75%. If anyone has questions, comments, or concerns, feel free to post them here.
