1. What is the most important characteristic of Davy Crockett that makes his personality stand out?

Crockett was a great leader, because he was fearless which came from his hunting stories and adventures which gives him his personality.

2. Do you agree or disagree about Crockett’s decision to run away from home when he was a kid? Explain.

I disagree, because he would have grown up to be a great and smart person with a higher job in Congress, maybe even as the president.

If Crockett didn’t fight in the Alamo there would have been less Mexicans dead and the Texans would have had a more crushing defeat. The soldiers wouldn’t have felt better or even felt good at all.

Crockett proved to be a great leader which granted him the trust of the people and he knew how to negotiate and be fair for all of the people.
