Attention Patriots, Loyalists, Neutralists! Gather as some of the most influential people on both sides of the war give their most convincing arguments as Odyssey Program’s middle school students debate! Listen as Samuel Adams, Patrick Henry and Thomas Paine try to convince the neutrals to join the Patriot cause. But be warned, Loyalists such as King George III also have some tricks up their sleeves. In the debate Odyssey’s middle school students had, students were assigned to argue from a Patriot or Loyalist perspective or to be neutral. Passionate and persuasive speeches were created, then were delivered in front of the crowd of Neutralists. The goal was to persuade the Neutrals to chose a side in the war, either join the Americans or British. While people were speaking, the crowds cheered and booed, depending on which side the speaker was on. Neutralists had to create posters with the word “Patriot” on one side and “Loyalist” on the other. The posters were constantly flipping back and forth as the neutrals listened to the good points both sides were making. The Patriots and Loyalists were raising their posters that advocated a famous person on their side high in the air. In the end, most neutrals joined the Loyalist cause, but the Patriots still have history on their side!
