Revolutionary War Analysis

We cannot start this revolution, because if we do it could be detrimental to our economic, social and cultural standing point. Before the argument about whether these colonies should start a war or not, there were many key events that lead up to this argument ensued. One thing that was important that has happened is the writings of Thomas Paine, he wrote the popular pamphlet known “Common Sense”, and this pamphlet sparked the interest of breaking away from Britain.
