Common Sense: Revolution Exam

The common Sense was a copy that had spoken about how the suffering and trouble times that the colonies had been going through was because of Britain. Thomas Paine wrote the Common Sense, and was describing the horrible things that King George III. This was also known to be the "immediate declaration of independence." Not long after this was written Thomas Paine started talking about the declaration of independence. This writing is what sparked the American Revolution.

Some reasons why the colonies have the right to rebel against Britain is because they keep taxing things that don't need to be taxed for example the Boston Tea Party, the commoners did rebel over that because they raised the price on tea when not necessary and they got what they deserved. Another reason would be because, they put the catholic religion into practice and made it mandatory for people to practice that religion which was not necessary either. George wanted what he wanted he didn't care about anyone else but himself and the colonies knew it and that's why they ended up rebelling over Britain. They started to abuse the power of being rulers of a new land. I think that the colonies should rebel because if they didn't then they would have been ruled and everything would have been taxed right through the roof, just like us today. Also we may not be where we are now if they didn't rebel, we still probably would have not been as free as we are today. So i am glad that the colonies did what they did.

If i was a historical writer at this time i would have thought that this world is heading for some major trouble and that we need to get ourselves out of the mess before it got any worse. I would also not see freedom, i would think that we were going to stay in monarchy forever and always have a ruler and not the freedom of religion. I would also see all of these large historical figures not so big in our world today, i would think that they wouldn't have gotten this far as to complete freedom to the united States. I would also not see us being the United States i would see us being ruled by Britain, though thank god that were not.
