KAYAKI BATTLES


I chose this object because it is used to protect from other people and to guard so people can't intrude. It tells me that it was a weapon that was also used in wars. We studied the Revolutionary war and they used the flinlock musket but the particular one I chose was made in 1795 a few years after the Revolutionary war which was in the year 1775.
