    This very easy for the colonies to do based on their shared disapproval of and abuse from Britain and its rule. The colonists believed that they had to defend their liberties and that Britain was taking these from them. Richard Henry Lee describes how the colonists want to defend these liberties as led to their unification in his letter to Arthur Lee, “N.America is now most firmly united and as firmly resolved to defend their liberties ad infiniturn against every power on Earth that may attempt to take them away” (Doc 3). This demonstrates that not only are the colonists ready to fight to attain their liberties, but work together afterwards to protect them from anyone who intends to take them, thus supporting the idea of the colonies as not thirteen individual independent states, but one unified state. This idea of a strong unification greatly supported by Document 6.

Jefferson is able to appropriately use logos by explicitly stating the people of the colonies’ rationales for severing their connections to Great Britain. He elaborates on his complaints and requests by using logos in order to declare and represent the people’s interpretation of their rights, what they should be, and why they deserve them. He articulates that the King has neglected and deprived the people of the colonies from their god given rights as people.

    ‘“If there must be trouble, let it be in my day, that my child may have peace.”’. According to the pamphlet, “The American Crisis”, by Thomas Paine, the need for the American colonists to act against Great Britain is due to Britain’s overpowering rule and the need for a revolution to change the faith of the colonists living in dismay.
