They say; Bacon's Rebellion
What most people think when they hear about Bacon's rebellion, is about a huge riot, and about a town in flames. But there's a lot more information that's very important to why this rebellion happened in the first place. First of all, The whole problem started when the common people realized that there was a HUGE gap between the rich and the poor. In reality, there was no "common" people. you were either very wealthy, or you were a poor farmer. When Bacon saw that the the new settlement was turning into a mini England, he took action. His rebellion was against the Indians, who seemed to get more rights than the people did, and against the mayor and leaders of the colony, mainly on the basis that they needed to get this gap fixed. you see, the main landowners were very rich so they controlled most of eastern Virginia. So the poor farmers felt that they were going to get forced into the wild alone. Well, they weren't going to take that lying down, which brought about the burning of Jamestown, the fleeing of the Governor, and the starting of a Civil war.

I thought it was a good summary, but there wasn't any quotes or evidence, i didn't see any templates used, and i think it would be good to use another transition other than first of all, or like similar ones like firstly, secondly, thirdly, lastly, etc.
I thought that the assignment was to write an outline of "They Say". This is a very good summary, but it lacks evidence. If I was correct in my assumption of the assigned task, this also lacks evidence of "They Say"
I would say something similar, but I think yours was good in general.
I would only recommend including more quotes, witch are the easiest things to add.
I think your has alot of personal voice, but I don't know if that was what Craig is looking for with this piece, it being "They say" and all.
But nice job :)
It was a good summary although it could have used more details and maybe some quotes in there. I didn't see any templates being used at all either. But it sounded pretty good, just needed a little more.
CCCRRRAAAAPPPP!!!!
I screwed up!!!
yeah dude nice summery, but the point of the ASSignment was to use qoutes and templates. but you will get like a A+++ if u put in some qoutes and use templats
