Letter To John Adams Compare And Contrast
I selected the two passages, “The Iroquois Constitution” and “Letter to John Adams” for my Compare and Contrast Essay. Both documents are similar in the way they are trying to convince their audience to do something, believe that no single group has the right to strip other groups of their freedom, talk about woman’s rights, and mutually use logical appeal in their writing. “The Iroquois Constitution” and “Letter to John Adams” are unlike in that they have dissimilar historical impacts, different times in which they were written, diverse purposes, and unlike forms of appeal. “The Iroquois Constitution” and “Letter to John Adams” are comparable in several ways. The writers of the separate documents are trying to convince their audience

    I agree with Samuel Adams letter to James Warren because its actually realistic then George Washington quote from discussion board 1 back in September revolved around why history matters. "No people tamely surrender their Liberties, nor can any be easily subdued , when knowledge is diffused and virtue is preserved. On the contrary, when people are universally ignorant, and debauched in their Manners, they will sink under their own weight without the Aid of foreign invaders." At first I did not get the last phrase but when i went back and read it I believe from my perspective that it is saying we do not need society or the government to make us do anything. Some of us are naturally ignorant to where it goes in one ear and out the other to the…

    When it comes to all of the founders I would have to say I agree most with Benjamin Franklin and his beliefs. As it was with John Adams in the last question I agree with him more than others because he once said "Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety." This statement is saying you should not give up your freedom and who you are to feel safe even for a smallest moment. Yes, you may never feel safe. Yes, you may believe you would give anything for that feeling, but if you do give it all up you can never get it back. So is it truly worth…

    People are taught In a society the most "paramount" events in recorded human history, yet knowing the smallest details of history could just be the thing that could set you aside from the people in your caliber of learning. On average, we learn another event in history every time we step into a history classroom, however no one teaches us about the mistakes and re-writes of the most chief document of American history. Before I read the article "Words Matter" I was unaware that the the Declaration of Independence had a few words changed and erased from the document. Benjamin Franklin and John Adams helped revise the Declaration of Independence, part of the revisions included handwritten corrections from Franklin and Adams. As stated by Fenella France "It appeared as Jefferson wrote "subjects" with the customary ink-dipped quill and then used his hand to wipe out the word while the ink was still wet. He then wrote "citizens" instead. A distinct brown smudge is apparent on the paper, although the word "subjects" is not legible without the help of the digital…

Adams played a key role throughout the entire beginning of colonial America and contributed to its independence immensely.

    In the first letter she talks about how she wants the war to be ended and how no one has fought or won the king. She also says that she cant wait to hear from John Adams, Paul Revere to hear on what they are going to do next. The colonies are forced to only buy tea from a company from great Britian and that is like slavery because they have to do what the king is saying so if they have to buy tea from that one company they have or else they are going to have to pay the consequences, In the second letter Adams is talking about how the people were scared to come out of their homes and plant food because they feared that the reed coats would come back and harm the people that were not loyal to the king because they were fighting for freedom.

    The first dilemma conveys about how President John Adams solves the problem of how to protect American ships from French and British attacks. The attacks first started when France found out that America was making the Jay treaty with Britain. France though of this as America breaking their alliance and trying to make peace with France’s enemy. Since America was a new country and pretty weak it was easy for Britain and France to take advantage of them and impress their sailors. This is similar to how the new kid at school is usually picked on and taken advantage of since they probably moved here from somewhere else and are kind of like an outsider.…
