Common Sense
Good evening ladies and gentlemen,
The American Revolution is the single most important event in American History. All of the changes that have occurred and will continue to occur in this great Nation owe their very existence to the sacrifices of the Patriots of colonial America.
War with England to sever the cord between mother and daughter was the only course to protect the liberties and freedoms we all enjoy. The Patriots of that era knew it was the only viable option. The liberty we enjoyed was to priceless to allow it too simply slip away.
They put everything on the line to try and keep it. They believed in the idea of America. The idea that to be American is to be Free to prosper and enjoy life.
Thomas Paine in his writing Common Sense said, "No country on the globe is so happily situated, so internally capable of raising a fleet as America. Tar, timber, iron and cordage are her natural produce. We need to go abroad for nothing. Whereas the Dutch, who make large profits by hiring out their ships of war to the Spaniards and Portuguese, are obliged to import most of the materials they use. We ought to view the building a fleet an article of commerce, it being the natural manufactory of this country,"(Paine, 46).
Americans are capable of anything. We can be as great as we want. We made this country from our blood, sweat and sacrifice. History can happen many ways, ours just happened to be something that occurred. No reason to feel guilty about anything. The British would have whored us all out anyway. As long as the Crown's treasury was full, England was happy. They could have cared less about a colonist. The Aristocracy ran the Country and if you weren't Royalty you weren't really a human being, more of an animal.
Your humble servant
