By the time it was 1763 most of the white colonies would say that they are loyal British subjects. However after 1763, mostly between the time periods 1775-76, these years saw the send of the relationship with Britain. The British should take some of this blame as they did introduce some rigorous polices after 1763. This was an unwanted change for the American Colonies, As Britain left them alone for so long but now are starting to change things. But there are other courses of the break out of the armed conflict not just polices of the British Government that are the colonies as not all of the polices where unreasonable.
The people to benefit from this attitude towards diversity were the Northern European ethnic immigrants. This created frustration for people of color as they could emulate how the white behavior but could not get past the issue of color. Melting Pot: in 1908 this perspective came into play. The melting pot perspective is one of which stating that settlers to America need not relinquish their entire racial or ethnic heritage but that all ethnic differences would balance into a dominant American culture. This idea “deemphasized differences and emphasizes instead the need to disregard diversity and accept immigrants as Americans as long as they learned to speak English and became citizens.
Fisher rests his entire point of view based on the roots of the four British folkways that separated the settlers in America. Fishers argued that we are a culture with results that resemble the “germ thesis” having been British in our cultural origins. I believe his argument lacks the strength that Nash presents because a culture is not strictly DNA, yet societal norms and behaviors as well. While the initial settlers maintained a foundation of their heritage, the tri-racial society, the trades that emerged and the
Largely Paine sees America’s separation from Britain as a natural progression and something that is inevitable. One common theory at the time was that as Americans were descended predominantly from the British, a reconcilement is not only appropriate but also right. Furthermore as America has, until now, supposedly flourished under the guidance of Britain, this relationship ought to continue. Paine compares America to a child; the simple fact that a child initially thrives on milk does not mean
It seems there was a miscommunication, because Britain was treating the Americans different from other British and also wanted to keep major control in anyway, like restricting trade from any other country (like France and Spain). The whole time Britain was treating America like this, America believed their relationship to have stayed the same since settlers first came to the new world. It was appearing to be like an ugly teenage breakup where both the boy and girl have different titles of where they think the relationship is at the
Each of my arguments revolves around the idea that the British were unfair towards their treatment of the colonists, which compels me to justify the Colonists quarrel against the British. My first argument states that there were no representatives in Parliament. The Colonists refers strictly to the British who moved to the New World, in Daniel Dulany considerations it states that “a tax imposed by Parliament, is a tax with out [the Colonists’] consent” (October 1765) Therefore, no Colonist represented Parliament because all the Colonists were in the New World. However, Jenyns’ rebuttal states “Parliament may have the power to impose taxes on the Colonies [but] they have no right to use it, beause it would be an unjust tax” (1765). I do not think this qualifies as a just statement because Parliament only composed of British representatives, and no Colonist representatives, therefore, no Colonist could back up their viewpoint or dispute any taxes enforced, only the British would have say in what would be a just or unjust tax.
Paine also calls hereditary succession an abdominal practice. He criticizes the people who were in favor of British Empire saying that Britain watched America only for economic well-being. He also says that British don’t deserve American loyalty because they have been attacking American colonies. According to him, the solution to this problem is independence from the British and for that he also proposed the form of Government which had equal opportunities for all. Paine directly appealed to colonies to separate from the British Empire.
This just reflects on the attitude that the rich held and holds in higher contrast the dedicated drafted soldiers versus the rich who avoided injury. This impacted my thinking by adding more details to my prior knowledge of the how and whys of the Declaration of Independence. Not only was it a document to send to the king of England, but it was a symbol that even the common man could look up to. Zinn mentions that, “the use of the phrase ‘all men are created equal’ was probably not a deliberate attempt to make a statement about women. It was just that women were beyond consideration as worthy of inclusion,” (Zinn 73) and I think that if I were a male farmer working hard for his family back in the day, this statement would be just fine.

Here he compares the way Americans get treated, “become men,” to the way Europeans become, “useless plants.” For Americans, “here they rank as citizens” and in Europe, “formerly they were not numbered in any civil list of their country, except in those of the poor.” Crevecoeur tries to get the reader to see that in America, people get treated with respect and are not “mowed down by want, hunger, and war.” Emotional appeal tends to connect to the reader more and helps communicate Crevecoeur’s passion. His use of words, “melted into a new race of men, whose labours and posterity will one day cause great change in the world,” makes the reader want to be apart of that and gets them to feel the emotion about changing the world. Crevecoeur’s use of rhetorical questions with diction, simile, and emotional appeal connect to the reader and let them have a better understanding of American, his passion toward it and why is so much better than any other country. He wants the reader to receive the full aspect of why he feels the way he feels and to persuade them to come to America and
