Do you have more options? Or can you use one person more than once?
there is one extra
Okay what is it?
i dont know we have to find the extra by matching each person with the correct discription
Oh ok. First, what do you think match up? Can you think of any that go together?
Baron Friedrich von Steuben = C?
Yes, that one is correct. Are there any others?
Abigail Adams = A
No. I don't think that is correct. The times would not have allowed a woman to be so in depth in political affairs. I would check E. for that one. Abigail Adams often wrote to her husband, John Adams, on the topic of slavery and women affairs. Her letters contain strong opinion on the subjects. Her husband, John Adams, often took heed of her words and even, at her request, spoke out for both the rights of women in society and blacks.
Any others?
John Hanwingspan = A
No, I don't think that John Hanwingspan is actually a person. Now if you were to say John Hanwingspan, then I think that would be the right answer. What about F? Who do you think goes with F?
