Recruit a spy for the British Army Use your "Patriot, Loyalist, or Neutral?" notes from today's zoom class to complete this assignment.
Directions: During the American Revolution both the American Continental Army and the British
Army had spies to keep track of their enemy. You have been hired by the British to recruit a spy in
the colonies. You must choose your spy from one of the colonists we discussed today (colonists A-
E). When making your decision, use the following criteria:
• The spy cannot be someone who the Patriots mistrust. The spy should be a person who
appears to agree with the Patriots.
. The spy should live in a populated area where the Patriots are active and can report on
Patriot activity. A colonist in a rural area will have little information to provide.
· The spy should need something from the British, either money or military protection, to
entice him or her to risk his or her life.
. Your paragraph should be 4-5 sentences in length and should detail which colonist would
make the best spy and why.
