Question

Instructions:Select the correct answer.

Answer 1

D.) God would defend the American colonists' fight because their cause was upright.

In the passage Paine states that they have 'so earnestly and so repeatedly sought to avoid the calamities of war'. So it would seem he believes god will support them because every action of peace and every attempt to avoid war with Britain were met with failure.

Hope this helped. Have a great day!
