Your task is to create a letter to Queen Victoria addressing your concerns about colonization. Your letter should be written in first person and should be written in an academic fashion.
Open with an introduction- introduce yourself, take a name, and state where you live and what you do.
Take a stance on relevant issues and support your positions with logical argumentation.
Your letter should be about 2-3 paragraphs long, and reference specific information from the lessons regarding native peoples’ rights, imposition of British culture, trade and tax rules, etc.
What do you, as a colonial subject of the British Empire, expect from the Queen and her government?
Infrastructure, farming subsidies, better policing, more schools, more voting rights?
How do you feel your local culture might be jeopardized or disrespected? Consider language, religion, traditional foods, land control, etc.
What are your hopes for your children or the young people in your community as members of the British Empire?
