Process of the Project
My topic, John Hancock, was chosen because i thought he would be a great person to do on the topic of leadership and legacy. John Hancock is an important topic because without him many things in our government today would be different. John Hancock fired up the colonists to fight after the Boston Massacre. Hancock also fought for peoples rights concerning taxes. Most importantly John Hancock helped create the Declaration of Independence.
I found most of my research online on websites that are very reliable like .gov and .org sites listed in my bibliography. The most useful sources would have to be the speech from the Boston Massacre. That source helped explain what a great leader John Hancock is. Another great source was the source i used to show how John Hancock sent letters to try and stop the tax problem in the colonies which showed his role in politics as well.
The only problem i had on this project was to find out how i needed to cite the Declaration of Independence as a source because i never had to cite a major document as such before.
