It has to be over a biography of an American Revolution-era person. If anyone knows anyone was interesting back then and there is a lot of stuff on them... That would really help! Ten points for a good person! thanks so much.

I like all of greenthumbs answers. I've studied all those people and I really enjoyed Patrick Henry. (I enjoyed them all, but that man has an incredidble story). Also look up any of the signers of the Declaration (like greenthumbs said) and you'll find some good stories. Molly Pitcher was pretty interesting as well. Oh! and the swamp fox... what's his name? Gosh I can't remember it now. google the words "swamp fox" and it'll give you an awesome story. That's my favorite.

Sorry, but Winston Churchill was Prime Minister of Great Briton in World War II. Not even close.
Try These:
George Washington
Thomas Paine
Samual Adams
John Adams
Any of the Signers of the Declaration of Independence
Florence Nightingale
Molly Pitcher
PatrickHenry
Benedict Arnold
These will all be the regular people chosen so lets get wild.
1. Google "American Revolution" +biographies
2. www.historycentral.com/bio/RevoltBios
3. After you make a choice then Google "your choice +biography
Happy Hunting

I find it hard to believe that someone wrote a report on Winston Churchill and didn't come away knowing that he WASN'T a figure in the American Revolution. Personally, I'd pick Ben Franklin, who was the first "world class" citizen poduced by the American colonies. But least of all, actually learn about the person, whomever you decide on.

No list from the teacher? Good!
Choose someone others won't, like maybe a British soldier -- Banastre Tarleton, known to Americans in the South as "Butcher" Tarleton (and the basis for the rotten British colonel in Mel Gibson's 2000 film The Patriot.)
John Burgoyne, losing general at the Battle of Saratoga, might also be a good subject.

Go to your school library and speak to one of the Librarians. Find a person you will actually ENJOY learning about. This will make your work much easier.
P.S. Churchill wasn't born until over 100 years AFTER the Revolution and he was English at that.

Molly Pitcher..a fascinating woman from that period and I doubt anyone else will use her as a subject.
