This is a ridiculous and unfair tax on us and we can’t afford to pay it. The government has already established several new taxes to line their own pockets, and enrich their soldiers. We have had to…

Benjamin Franklin once said: "Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety." That quote often comes up in the context of new technology and concerns about government surveillance.

Although, it was by the order of the Prime Minister Lord North, as he wanted to convey how superior England’s military was to the rebel Patriots by taking control of New York City and the Hudson River to isolate the Patriots in New England from other…

My goal in this paper is to explain the importance of the crossing of the Delaware River pertaining to the…
