In this paper I will discuss how the message of the importance of war should be heard throughout America. I will use Founding Brothers written by Joseph Ellis and Wikipedia to write this essay. This message must be heard throughout America so that every American is striving for independence, and that is when we will become one nation rid of British rule.
There is an on going problem in our nation today. The British have taken our rights. They want to move westward with our land, they want us to house their soldiers in our homes, they wish to tax us, finally they want to take away our Independence and our honor. We as a nation have a question to consider. Do we fight the British for what is rightfully ours, or do we obied by their wishes and give up our Independence. Those who are loyal stay loyal to the British king may consider the second option. I however, and my fellow Patriots will not succumb to British rule. We will fight in this war, we will gain Independence, and we will then become a great and powerful nation.
This great nation deserves to be free, the colonists deserve their honor, our hard work in making a government and setting up a civilization deserves to be recognized and used among only Americans of the United States. The British don't belong in our nation and never will. They do not have right to tax us, take away our honor and pride, take control and seize what is rightfully ours. We are citizens of the United States of America and we shall fight them. When a soldier comes to our door we shall slam the door shut. We wrote a document stating our freedom and separation from any other country, and that document does indeed include Great Britain. We shall obied by this document and fight for our country. We shall take back our rights and our honor. If we do not fight, we will never obtain the freedom that we seek. If we are truly citizens of the United States of America, we will fight until the all the British are laying face down in the dust.
I am a citizen of the United States of America. I do not and will not take orders from Great Britain and pay taxes to their King, just as the rest of our country should not. They do not have the right to bring their soldiers over and enforce taxes and laws that we, citizens of the United States of America are not inclined to obey. My dear friend Benjamin Franklin as kind as he is was also smart, however we were wrong to barter with the British about the stamp act. He got Britain to repeal the taxes, but we should have known they would tax us on other things as well. What happened in the Boston Massacre, will happen all over the states eventually. We will rebel and fight until we have won. The Boston Tea Party is another incident of us not giving up. They want to take us over, so we shall fight them. However, I know their are still Americans loyal to the British King, but just as the Boston Massacre changed the minds of the Massachusetts colony, all people of America will also join to fight. We need all Americans to believe in Independence, when we do, that is when we have won. It will happen, and we will soon be a free country where are children and our children's children will not have to pay taxes to Britain and abide by their rule.
Every great nation will have a leader. Our leader will not be the King of Great Britain, it will be the President of the United States. Every great nation will also be independent. This war is truly inevitable. I believe that Patrick Henry says it best when he states why this war must happen. "The battle, Sir, is not to the strong alone; it is to the vigilant, the active, the brave. Besides, Sir, we have no election. If we were base enough to desire it, it is now too late to retire from the contest. There is no retreat but in submission and slavery! Our chains are forged! Their clanking may be heard on the plains of Boston! The war is inevitable; and let it come! I repeat, Sir, let it come!" This is the message that needs to be portrayed throughout the colonies. This is what every American mind needs to understand. I believe that this is the most important message at this time. The war must be fought, and we must gain Independence. I also do agree and encourage individual states declaring their Independence from Great Britain. However, we have to be one solid powerful nation. My fellow Patriots and I believe in complete separation from the British. Thomas Paine was correct when he said that the only way for Americans to live peacefully was "republicanism and independence from Great Britain". I encourage all American men to fight in this war. Also for American women and children to encourage our freedom. We should not be scared of what the British can do or what the outcome may bring. We are strong and we are brave. We will fight and we will win this war. We will be a free nation.
All in all, we need to continue fighting in this war against Great Britain. They do not belong in America among us. We shall not house British men, we shall not pay taxes to the British king, and we shall not listen to British soldiers. What we will do is penetrate and attack. We will be courageous and strong, and we will defeat the British until they all lay dead in the ground. We will seek revenge for what the British did to us, we will kill them as they killed us. We are Americans and we will fight until we win, and then we will be known forever as "the land of the free".
