Register to read the introduction… Though many think of a patriot as something they are not. Everyone can have the right attitude about a patriot, though it may take some time to get people to understand a true patriot.

Finally, they need to come to the realization that no nation is perfect, and that it needs to be accepted by everyone for better understanding of their country. We can use these morals to become better citizens and help improve our outlook on what we call

    When the idea of revolution became prominent in the colonies, divisions began within the colonists themselves. The Patriots and Loyalists were established; the Patriots being those who wanted independence from England, and the Loyalists those who believed in remaining loyal to the crown. Everyone else was considered neutral on the subject, though it was usually those directly unaffected by British rule. Most of the Patriots were poor, because they were so heavily affected by British taxes, and would greatly benefit from independence economically-wise. Most of the Loyalists were rich, because they were not very affected by British taxes, and had no reason to change what was beneficial for them.…

    Zinn states that the expansion of the United States wouldn’t have been able to happen without the mistreatment and cruel acts toward the Native American population. Zinn discusses how America often glances over the fact that thousands of Natives were removed and views western expansion as an all around positive event. The truth behind it is many Natives were killed or forcefully removed from their native lands due to Americans. Zinn mentions American presidents such as Thomas Jefferson and Andrew Jackson to bring light into their involvement and mistreatment of the Native population. During Jackson’s presidency many saw him as a hero and thanked him for their economic and political growth.…

    This source is an example of biased propaganda in favor of the Patriots. This is because it shows their side of the Boston Massacre in order to create sympathy for their cause. For example, the document reads, "... Like fierce Barbarians grinning o'er their Prey, Approve the Carnage, and enjoy the Day" This line serves to describe the British soldiers during the massacre describing them as barbarians who viewed the innocent colonists as prey, going as far as to say the soldiers enjoyed the event and murder of the colonists.…

    America is the land of the free, because of the brave. Americans enjoy many freedoms because of the democracy our ancestors fought very hard to establish. Freedom summarizes what being an American is about, but it’s not what an American is. An American is someone who is brave enough to do something even though the punishment is severe, someone who sees opportunity and stops at nothing to achieve it, and someone who doesn’t take the easy way out. Bravery is part of the definition of an American.…

    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.…
