The Virginians took the land by force (Dunmore’s War) because Britain was not going to play apart in negotiating land. The built up anger amongst those land speculators led to them making one of the most important decisions in American history.

How Thomas Paine became the voice of independence is something of a mystery in and of itself. After all, he had only lived in the American colonies for 2 years prior to publishing Common Sense.

Winthrop sold: Iron, flannel, figs, rags, canvas, shoes, boots, lead, currants, raisins, corn, cattle, and stockings to the new mass of emigrants and the Lorton Company. Around 1634-35, John Winthrop was voted out of office for two years but this didn’t have an impact on his business and shortly after that, he was voted a life term as magistrate of Massachusetts. Being in this position , Winthrop started taking control of vast amounts of property around Boston. So much land that he actually gave some land to his wife(around 3000 acres to be exact). With his power restored again, he started to thwart the threat of power over the magistrates.

Paine’s most famous pamphlet was the first time someone had proclaimed independence and supported their claim in writing. Furthermore, Thomas Paine had spoken publically about an issue that would previously only be spoken about privately with close friends, thus transforming attitudes about not only the discussion of independence in America but also actual independence from Britain. Therefore, not only was Common Sense successful for its ideas discussed throughout the book, but also for its influence on the discussions of people regarding independence.

" The Indic Eliot in 'The Hollow Men') ” This quote is talking about how Eliot has made a beautiful poem from his own thoughts and dreams. The first message in Hollow men is dissatisfaction and it is talking about how nobody is satisfied with their lives or what they are doing throughout their life.

The American Revolution on saratoga refers to the period in history in which the Thirteen Colonies that became the United States of America gained independence from the British Empire. There were many battles and tactics against the British that were needed in order to obtain independence from them, including: The battle of Lexington, Bunker Hill, Saratoga, etc. Ultimately, the Americans succeeded in gaining Independence and winning the war. However, victory seemed out of reach for the Americans during the war; the Americans had fewer soldiers and weapons while the British had the most formidable army in the world at the time and flourished in soldiers and weaponry. There are significant reasons why the British lost the war despite having the upper hand in terms of weaponry and soldiers.

The Battle of Trenton was one of the battles that was a major turning point in the result of the war. The American colonists were forced to move out of New York City and off to somewhere else.

Britain also began restricting the colonists with numerous acts and laws violating their freedoms. The Currency Act prohibited the issue of new bills of credit by New England colonies. The Navigation Acts were acts that forced English colonies to send all produced goods strait, and only, to England, and prohibited any smuggling.

After the French and Indian War King George III figured there was way too much money spent for the upkeep and supplies of his army. Realizing this King George III wanted to raise the taxes to help replenish the money that was lost during time and this is why the reason for the American Revolutionary War ultimately came down to money. Although the patriots wanted to gain freedom and independence, the
