Thirteen Days

The American Revolution was a unique revolution. Unlike the revolutions which followed it, like the French and Russian revolutions, the American Revolution did not end in tyranny. This defies the trend of history. Interestingly, there was also little provocation on the British side. In the history of revolutions, a people who have been downtrodden and abused for a long time will revolt, but it is usually after numerous and great injuries. The American Revolution seemed to spring from nowhere.…

Benjamin Franklin was a product of the colonial development of America. He was the image of a self-made man who toiled, as did most of the colonists, and fought for their fortunes or lack-there-of. However, like most of the colonists felt before the war for independence, Franklin was also very proud and fanatical of the greatness of the British Empire. After countless encounters with Englishmen and the English press, monarchy, and parliament all fervently denying the value of the colonists,…

The things that connect the English colonies to their superiors, Britain, was that being ruled by the parliament and the British King. The way the king ruled and his laws were not up to par for the colonists because of his dictatorship and unjustly taxations. The simple thought of the English being ruled by an island that they could not even see and they also had very poor communication with. Between this and lack of the king being able to overlook the colonies, did not do justice for neither…

Thomas Paine, an advocate for colonial independence during the 1700’s, wrote, in his famous document Common Sense, “I have never met anyone, either in England or America, who has not felt that a separation between the countries would take place sooner or later.” It is no coincidence that the separation that he speaks of began when the British government started implementing unfair taxes on the American colonists, without their consent, and with no intention to compromise. Certainly, the British…

The American Revolution was a war in between America and Great Britain in which America demanded independence from the British. The official start date of the Revolution is April 19th, 1775 which was the first battle of the war.

The American revolution dug out the path towards independence that United States citizens possess and appreciate today. Those that fought in the revolution defended the colonists from a corrupt superpower and a money motivated king that would have taken America for its own to manipulate and abuse,…

Growing up, most children are brought up eating meat. It is the norm to consume meat as it is taught that it has sufficient nutritional value through the potent amount of protein. No one bothers to mention the side effect of eating meat which is the cholesterol contained in it that has the possibility to lead to plaque. People disregard the negative aspect of meat, in which cholesterol leads to heart disease, and they choose to only focus on the positive: that meat gives protein. This ties in…
