Please respond to the prompt below in complete sentences. In the introduction to this lesson, you learned that Ralph Waldo Emerson actually wrote

the line "shot heard round the world", but the line has taken on greater meaning since that

line was written in 1837.

Based on your knowledge of this lesson:

Why do you think this "shot" was heard around the world"?

What made it so important to people around the world who were not directly

involved in the American Revolution?

Why do you think it is still referred to this way over 200 years later?

Answer and Explanation:

1. Because the "shot" represents a battle that echoed around the world, influencing battles elsewhere in the world, or involving several countries in the same battle. This is because this "shot" refers to the American revolution, which inspired other colonial territories to fight for independence. This "shot" may also represent the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand, who started the second world war that involved several countries and even created the basis for the second world war.

2. The American revolution showed that it was possible for a colony to come into conflict with the country that dominated it and win by becoming independent. This inspired colonies across the European, African and Asian continents to fight for their freedoms, even though it seemed unlikely that they would win.

3. Because this was a simple, but very impressive way to show the importance of the battles of the American revolution to the whole world.
