Title: “Jane Webb: A Forgotten Hero in American History and the Importance of Understanding the Dangers of Mob Mentality”

First Half: They want us to address a friend or family member that argues for the importance of a certain person or story in history. I am choosing Jane Webb and providing some key information and readings here. Describe who she is and who she’s important.
Second half: One of the purposes of a US survey course is to help prepare students for American citizenship. If you had to assign one reading for the entire American public, which would you choose and why? I have chosen “Benjamin H. Irvin, “Tar, Feathers, and the Enemies of American Liberties, 1768-1776,” The New England Quarterly 76, no. 2 (2003): 197–238.” I will also provide a link to this text as well.
I have also provided notes specific to the course and this specific material and sources for this project.
