      Meiling Chen, I'm not 100% sure, but I thought Ms. Isaacson said that we can have any edition of Give me Liberty, as long as it is volume one.

      Love to see you already answering each other's questions! Faitha-Lee and Devon are both right- I've ordered the Third Seagull edition, Volume 1 from Shakespeare and Company (939 Lexington Ave, across from Hunter), but any edition of Volume 1 will be fine. The page numbers might not match, but the content will be roughly the same.

    Good evening, I hope everyone had a nice day.
    Meiling Chen, I believe we need the third edition, however you may want to confirm with Professor Isaacson.

      Some free advice: read the Give Me Liberty text first to learn in broad strokes what happened, then the Voices of Freedom documents to learn some different perspectives on the period. We'll discuss both in class tomorrow, then you'll be able to apply what we talk about in class to the new blog post that will be available tomorrow.
