reflection

This project helped me find out more about more then just some people that helped during the revolutionary war. It helped me find out that there were less famous people that helped alot during the war that might have helped win the war. This project helped me find out alot about my person and how she helped our the patriots win the war and saved quite a few people.

statement of process

I first went on gooogle and searched dicey langston springfield and looked at the websites. Most of the websites said the same thing about what she did but some of them had some other information i didnt see in the others which was very helpful. I then went to look at the questions and did it from the ones i could have done easy then harder ones.
