I think that in delaying in mentioning the American colonies, Jefferson reveals his reluctance/lack of confidence in them and their fight for independence.

(*I didn't really know the context(I assume Thomas Jefferson), but just from a general character/human personality perspective, I believe this applies*).

Hope this helps! :)

- It draws readers into the argument and establishes that ideas apply to society.

At first, Jefferson talks directly about the problem. His goal is to make everyone focus the argument in a political perspective. After people understood this part of the argument, they would be ready to connect it with the context that was yet to be presented.

- It emphasizes that the principles involved are universal, not just American. 

At some point, he mentions what he called the "self-evident truths". That only means that what he speaks of is universal in his point of view. He points out the situation without connecting to their own situation before arguing about it because, at first, he wants everyone to see how wrong the situation itself is, to later say: "That's what is happening to us".

andre [41]

Answer:

Prior to the War of 1812, the British navy engaged in impressment, which meant that they forced American sailors serve on British ships.

Explanation:

Impressment refers to the forcible recruitment of seafarers for war and merchant ships. This type of deprivation of liberty was also used at times for supplementing the army.

The British Royal Navy used impressment as a means for compulsory recruitment from the Elizabethan Age, and since 1563 this was legally legitimized. Even after American independence, Americans continued to be forced into the Navy as Britain continued to consider all Americans born British as its citizens. In the course of the coalition wars, around 9,000 Americans were forcibly recruited into the British fleet. This approach was one reason for the outbreak of the War of 1812.
