Should America Be Separated

Decent Essays
I would be a patriot because I think people should put Britain, a place very far away from America, away. It is a very great idea to keep places separated because it will cause issues in the future. There may not even that much stuff going around. There are a lot of ways that America should be separated. America already has a lot of problems, making Britain own this could cause a disaster. Life would be really different if American was free. America is supposed to be a free country that created the Pledge of Allegiance. Great Britain should not be the king of America. I also think the church of England is very and highly unfair. They won't let anyone practice their religion and that means that there country is not free. It's weird, why should

Thomas Jefferson spells them out nicely in the Declaration of Independence, and a few particularly insulting injustices include: He has refused to pass other laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of representation in the legislature . . . He has dissolved representative houses repeatedly for opposing with manly firmness his invasions on the rights of the people . . .…

    I believe that the American colonies should be separate from the British Empire, we have many reasons to want to be free from the British Empire. First off, the debt that was created in the French & Indian war was not our fault, we should not be getting heavily taxed just to pay it off. These taxes are affecting our daily lives. The stamp act is making us spend even more money on every piece of paper we own, which is expensive and pointless. The sugar and tea act are pointlessly taxing the goods of our daily life.…

    I would convince a loyalist to support the patriots in the american revolution by, first reminding them that if we have more support on the patriotic side then we have a better chance of winning our freedom. I realize that this fact may make the loyalist retort with but we need the king to survive. Well, when we separate from the mother country we still have a large chance that the goods we trade with them will still be traded between us. This is due to the fact that they need things we have and vice versa. Another reason you should join the Patriots is that when we separate from the British empire all of those horrid acts that they placed on us will disappear.…
