Patrick Henry’s argument on declaring independence on Great Britain and going to war was an inspiring speech that has shined a new light on the subject of whether to declare independence or stay loyal to a country that has done us more harm than good and has ultimately led me to become a rebel. I have become a rebel for two main reasons, our petitions that they have not noticed were an attempt at peace and the mistreatment from the last ten years. To start, petitions had not been productive whatsoever. When Britain had done something that had made us miserable, we decided to meet in the middle and make peace with Britain though petitions. Unfortunately Britain had ignored and disregarded us and our petitions, and instead, had sent us harm and…
Our place of economic pride, power, and unity has been devastated by the monstrous British. I am a Federalist at heart, yet I hope this shows my party the means of going to war! We must protect America from these ravenous beasts!…
The reason the British tightened its control over the colonies is because after years of governing themselves they became used to it and were ignoring parliament's laws because they have started governing themselves. The parliament saw an opportunity to help pay of national debts using the colonies and created 6 main Acts from 1763-1773 they were called Proclamation of 1763 which banned settlement into western lands, next there was the Sugar Act of 1764 which put tried to put a stop on smuggling goods and gave british naval officers writs of assistance to search ships. The law also made it so goods like tobacco, sugar, and timber from the colonies get directly shipped to Britain. It also put taxes on cloth, sugar, coffee, and wine coming into…
The first reason I think that we should change our relationship with Britain is because of taxation without representation. U.S. colonists are getting taxed on tea, paper, glass, lead, and tea without any representatives in Parliament. Parliament made lots of people poor because of taxes on everyday items, which, in turn, caused the colonists to…
Colonist 4 – England will never do anything for us, so now why should we give them our…
The British have murdered us, burned us, and stolen from us. They have imposed unjust laws on us, closed our harbor, and banned our assemblies. All of these laws put us at a disadvantage and benefit Great Britain. Why should we remain loyal to someone who treats us like this? We should not be governed by the British. The colonies are more than capable of protecting and governing themselves. We must fight for our independence, so we can elect our own leaders and write our own…
In the beginning the United States wasn’t even united. We were just states. We broke away from that powerhouse called Great Britain by having a revolution which was the American Revolution. After this revolution had taken place with many bloody battles on American soil and caused the casualties of many British and Americans alike. After the bloody warfare the Americans came out on top and can officially declare their independence from Britain.…
Why did we break away from Great Britain? We wanted our independents, so don’t you think by controlling the Philippines, Guam, and Puerto Rico we are acting like ”Great Britain”? Going into these country’s and trying to force your government ideas, putting your army in foreign land, and controlling there economics sound un-American to me. The government should consider what is at stake if we enter these foreign territories. If we try to imply our ways government ideas what would happen? That brings me to my first point; a self-governing country (the US) should not be able to submit our ideas or beliefs without consent of the countries. A self-governing state cannot accept sovereignty over the unwilling people. Like what Abraham Lincoln said…
A: Aye, Sir, that is where you are wrong, although Britain has sinned against us, and King George III is a tyrant, simply declaring our freedom is the solution. If we go to war, it will be a short war in which we will die, and a dead man can not fight for his so called “freedom”. You would rather die than live this life which we are our own nation, then you hold the wrong beliefs.…
Were American colonists justified in fighting a war to break away from Britain? What should the Americans do? Stay with the British or break away from them? Personally, I think that the Americans should break away from the British. The British did too much unfair stuff toward the Americans.…
The British government has violated the constitution rights of Englishmen and we need to take action. This is the only way for us to be away from Great Britain and if you have the great americans…
also need to show them where not weak by making proper use out of our weapons. "Patrick Henry said in his speech “sir we are not weak if we make proper use of those means which the God of nature hath placed in our power,” Patrick Henry says to use what we got so that Great Britain. Doesn't take advantage of us. Making an effort to protect our colonies is key. It might seem as if we're weak but we're not weak we're strong and ready to fight for peace.…
In the Preamble of the Constitution it states, “in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America”(Morris). We have a plan and a reason not to stay with Britain. It is time for us to stand up what we believe in,…
As to insure your safety of course. As for your comments of whether the colonies should actually separate from Great Britain do not be absurd. The colonies are still very young and small if it were not for Britain they would have surely perished by now. Their economy is stable now. Why jeopardize that over something as miniscule as this?…
