Introduction

I chose to begin my project on "Mightier Than the Sword" by Streitmatter, on the first chapter, "Sowing the Seeds of Revolution. The reason I chose The Revolutionary War was not only because it is the foundation of our countries history, but it is the start of journalism taking a part in shaping a country and its government. This idea is so amazing, because almost 300 years ago it was forbidden, yet today journalism is a part of almost every country in the world.
