Create a hilarious school-appropriate meme that captures the spirit of this turning point in history. Use wit and insight to show the clash between Britain and the colonies — the frustration boiling over, the unfair laws, or the bold promise of liberty taking shape. Your meme should make a point as well as a smile, revealing how humor can sometimes tell the truth better than anger. You may use a free meme generator online, create one via Slides, Docs, Canva, etc., or simply design and draw one by hand. Regardless of what you choose, make sure your meme clearly connects to the history — using humor to highlight a real idea, event, or tension from the colonies’ break with Britain. See more
