Melissa+L.+-+I+am+Samuel+Colt

My I AM person is Samuel Colt. Before I began researching this person, I already knew that he invented the revolver. He was born in Conneticut. I also knew that his parents divorced when Colt was only two years old.The invention of the revolver has helped U.S. greatly during the wars and became an advantage for having the revolver. A revolver is a type of gun that you can fire multiple times at once. Some questions that came to my mind when I was researching was "How could Samuel Colt get interest in guns and explosions in a very young age?" It would have been very dangerous to experiment with gunpowder and other explosives. Another question was, "How was he able to go through the sadness that happened to his family?" Because he would have been shocked when one of his sisters suicided and also when he found out that his mother was a step mother.
