Around one in five Americans openly favored the Crown, with about half of the population hoping to avoid the conflict altogether. Most Indian tribes sided with us, who promised protection

Leadership is shown or expressed in different ways. George Washington and Frank R. Stockton have shown leadership qualities in their articles “Thanksgiving Proclamation” and “The Lady or The Tiger.” Even though both articles show leadership, George Washington is more effective demonstrating leadership.

Two of the greatest American Political figures during the revolutionary era of the U.S were Alexander Hamilton and Thomas Jefferson. Despite being such icons and both being revered by historians today, they were actually rivals. This could have been due to the conditions they were born and raised into, the same conditions that would shape their political outlooks as well.
