    I think the British won the war because they had a superior military force under the leadership of man by the name of William Pitt. Along with the troops that were in the colonies, the British were able to make a comeback on a war that had almost lost in the beginning. From then on, the British had captured several French territories and strongholds, such as the city of Quebec. The French then became weaker and weaker as the British grew stronger and stronger. I think democracy is indeed stronger when Americans think of themselves as one whole nation rather than distinct groups of individuals because it reminds us that we should all have same goals and mindset if we all work together rather than each person being concerned about themselves…

Even though he ended the rule of Charles I of England, in the end his strict governing led to the rebellion of the English people against him.

    • 4 Pages

    In his 1886 article, Henry Clews postulates that labor unions have no rightful place in a nation where its workmen are given the right to the vote. Clews believes that the right to vote elevates the employee to a higher status than previously attained so that he has the ability to take charge of his own destiny through the use of the ballot box. Therefore, it is unnecessary, and encroaches upon the inalienable rights of the employer, for the workman to attempt to effect change upon his work life through strikes and other union activities. Furthermore, Clews argues that due to the violence associated with the labor unions, foreign labor was becoming more sought after and readily supplied by Europe in order to fill the vacancies created by union strikes. Finally, Clews states that he is of the opinion that an employee who refuses to join a labor union will be able to “earn according to…
