Recommended: Impact of religion in colonies

It is 3/4/18, the Sunday that everyone was “Not” waiting for. The British Empire, have been more powerful than ever since Queen Elisabeth II took on the throne back in 1952. It was the rights of everyone to go Church, since she was the head of the Church in England. Sometimes, I wonder what if Colonists did win the war between British. Had the Colonists let citizens to decide their own Religion? Many Colonists had sacrifice themselves to defend this country, once called America. But failed. Many people have always been wondered if Freedom the Colonist wanted was possible. The Freedom to live life to your own “believe”, and don’t have to follow rules from “Ranks” above. You may wonder who am I, and what I’m talking about. But isn’t it really that important to know …show more content…

The real problem is that it was a Church, does people really think that it was okay? It was 10 pm at last when I came back to the train station, it take about two hours to travel back to where I lived. But the thoughts of thinking what can I do so solve the problem of the Church… Then… It hit me… It wasn’t just someone die, it was me. The person that have the same idea to solve the problem of Churches can assonate anyone that goes against their believed, It was me, the one that people call “Crazy Man” that trying to take the stand, and speak out about how Religion should be Free. The person that died was me, the news and rumors spread around town was about me and my death. The warning was spoken to me by the Church a few days ago when I wore this Buda’s Charm, walking into the Church hall. The mistake that cost me my life, there were laws that allow people to get killed speaking out to make a

In Founding Brothers: The Revolutionary Generation, Joseph Ellis, Professor at the University of Massachusetts, Ellis explores many events and problems faced by the Founding Fathers as the United States seeks a new form of government. Ellis quotes Tom Paine, an English-born political philosopher, by saying “claimed that it was simply a matter of common sense that an island could not rule a continent”(Ellis, 3). Principles were at stake while the country was at a constant state of war with other countries, including the mother country England. Ellis paints many mental pictures of the American revolutionaries and their troubled hardships while maintaining balanced decisions on quite decisive events that were later to be shaping the ideas of

Paine began to describe the American colonies have formed and established a central form of government “with a President, representation more equal, and their business wholly domestic and subject to the authority of a Continental Congress” (96). The America colonists already established themselves politically and needed the support of all colonists. Loyalists believed that if the English government was overthrown the colonies would not flourish and could not function without the help of Europe; the colonists would not allow one terrible government to be replaced by another (66). After being taxed, trade being regulated, and the colonists having to follow British laws, they stepped up and took the challenge to create a new government that relied on the people and was equal representation for all. Paine states, “a government which cannot preserve the peace, is no government at all” (94).

In the Declaration of Independence, it is said that “They are endowed by the Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness” (Jefferson). This shows the people of the colonies that they have the right to be free from all ties binding them to the British, so there is no reason to not gain independence. Thomas Paine says that “God Almighty will not give up a people to military destruction…who have so earnestly and so repeatedly sought to avoid the calamities of war” (Paine). Paine is proving to the American colonists that they should unite against the British by telling them that God will not let them all die because they did try to avoid the war at

“The cause of America is in a great measure the cause of all mankind” (Paine 1). With the Revolutionary War beginning in 1775, and the publication of Common Sense, by Thomas Paine, only a year later, this statement was widely recognized and addressed the issue at hand: the fight for independence. According to Paine’s assertion, America’s desire for peace and freedom is a basic necessity of life; it is what all men desire. Despite this innate thirst for liberty, many residents of America’s thirteen colonies were fearful of Great Britain, and because of this fear, complied with Great Britain’s every whim. Consequently, most colonists were hesitant to fight against the mother country for independence.

It’s been over 200 years since the original thirteen colonies of America fought their revolutionary war against Great Britain, in hopes of achieving their independence. We shall be going through a few areas of the Revolution, such as the military, social hierarchy, the role of men and women during the war, the colonists’ values of equality and their social contract response to the British government’s abuses, and we’ll compare these areas to the present day.
