Loyalists oppose to Patriot's Demands

A series of events were responsible for the Revolution. John Adams and Jonathan Sewell were discussing the crisis. This happened in summer 1774. Sewell told Adams that England was not going to change. He had to accept it, or deal with the consequences. Adams replied that event though he knew that was the truth, he would still remain in his own determination. 

According to stereotypes, many loyalists were wealthy. Others were just farmers. They did not like taxes, or having to pick a side. they also disliked the Militia. They resented the Patriots because they shut down the Loyalists' newspaper. They appealed to the Native American and the enslaved people. Indians wanted hel`from the British to stop the settlers from moving. Most people preferred to join the British, because they considered them as the true champions of Liberty.

Later on, in January 1776, a book was published. It was short but powerful, in favor of independence. it was called "The Common Sense", written by Thomas Paine, but first published anonymously. Thomas Paine came from England. He used to be a tax collector and an artesan. Some of his ideas can be seen in the Declaration of Independance. 

"COMMON SENSE"

Published anonymously by Thomas Paine in January of 1776, Common Sense was an instant best-seller, both in the colonies and in Europe. It went through several editions in Philadelphia, and was republished in all parts of United America. Because of it, Paine became internationally famous.

"A Covenanted People" called Common Sense "by far the most influential tract of the American Revolution....it remains one of the most brilliant pamphlets ever written in the English language."

Paine's political pamphlet brought the rising revolutionary sentiment into sharp focus by placing blame for the suffering of the colonies directly on the reigning British monarch, George III.

I would very much enjoy reading this book, for it seems that it really meant a lot for the American Revolution. It was necesary to create conscience on this people.

"He that rebels against reason is a real rebel, but he that in defence of reason rebels against tyranny has a better title to Defender of the Faith, than George the Third."- Thomas Paine
