American Revolution. Subconsciously, each of these men had a great impact on the revolution that started this country. Thomas Jefferson loved education and was well known for being the true author of the Declaration of Independence and for his wisdom. Benjamin Franklin, respectfully known as a diplomat, was also known as a great inventor, printer, and writer. Thomas Paine was a spectacular journalist who is best known for his anonymous pamphlet called “Common Sense.” Through these great men, our country

The American Revolution resulted from several highly significant factors that contributed essentially towards the escalation of the conflict. The roots of these causes can be traced to the year 1763 that brought substantial changes to America. The British troops along with American Indians had defeated the forces of France in the French and Indian War. Consequently, this led to the tangible expansion of the British possessions, including the lands east of the Mississippi River, territories in India

Ben’s parents brought him up the Dissenting way, but he started having doubts of revelation. Then some books against Deism fell into the hands of Ben and Ben stated, “it happened that they wrought an effect on me quite contrary to what was intended for them” (Franklin 43).  Ben respects all the religions in country, but to a certain degree. The churches do not help people get along and become better citizens, but they divide people (Franklin 62). He tells us, “ I have found them more or less mix’d

After the Seven Years’ War, Britain began to find themselves in debt. To settle this problem, England decided to lay heavy taxes upon the colonists. This angered the colonists who in turn used violent protests as an active voice when they felt unrepresented by Britain. This resulted in an over excessive amount of control from England because of the taxes and acts imposed on the colonies. England mistreated the colonists by not granting them basic rights, taxing them heavily, and telling them where

With the victory of the French and Indian War in 1763, the colonist revolted against the British and eventually gained independence. The American Revolution instigated the change of American policies and expanded the entire nation. The Americans could now have their own laws rather than follow the British laws and this opened opportunity for the Americans to expand westward. The westward movement brought up many new laws and policies, some of which were purely made to take over Indian land. Although

Perhaps best known today for his work as a founding father, Benjamin Franklin was as an inventor, philosopher, politician, writer, and overall public figure. One of his works, that perhaps combined both his philosophical ideas and his writing talent, was one in which he attempted to make himself into a morally impeccable human. After reading the work he published regarding this pursuit, I was assigned to pick one of the thirteen moral good Franklin identified and myself try to embody one. My task

When most people think of Benjamin Franklin, they tend to think of “that guy who discovered electricity”, or “one of the many founding fathers”. While both of those statements are correct, Franklin’s skills and contributions to the country were much, much more than that. As an author, inventor, civic activist, diplomat, printer, and more, Franklin definitely fits the role of a founding father. With such a wide variety of skills, Franklin’s contributions in his many fields were needed for developing

governors’ exploitation of the colony. This letter shows a strong bias towards not only America, but the New England colony itself, thus portraying the sense of nationalism that is emerging in America before the revolution. This political piece of art by Benjamin Franklin was initially drawn for the French and Indian War, expressing the importance of colonial unity, however, it was also later applied to

sold her to Robert Haines from New York. After nursing her back to health, Robert Haines “transferred her from her Canadian to American registry” and gave her the now famous name Mary Celeste (Lyons 48). Haines sold the vessel to James Winchester, Benjamin Spooner Briggs (her new captain), and two others who shared ownership over the now American ship (Lyons 48). On November 7th, 1872, the Mary Celeste along with the Dei Gratia set sail from New York headed to Genoa, Italy carrying “1,701 oak barrels

Can you call a human a human when it is stripped of its independence? A human that is completely submissive to a greater power is in my opinion, broken. The American Revolution is a story of humans who have been stripped of their independence, ethics, and freedom and how they revolutionized to become the United States of America that we know today. During the years 1765 to 1783, the Colonists fought hard for their independence against the British who had control over them for 169 years. In this time
