Answer:
Common sense is a pamphlet written by Thomas Paine in 1776, <em>it turned a largely local Massachusetts protest for redress specific grievances into an ideological crusade for the idea of Republicanism because</em> it made people question themselves about being part of Britain or being Independent, Common sense convinced the people they had the means to achieve independence, Thomas Paine exposed the following reasons why Independence was better for the 13 Colonies:
- Britain had no right in killing people at Boston because "a mother would never murder her child".
- The 13 Colonies needed to fight with Britain's enemies even though they weren't their enemies.
- The 13 Colonies needed Independence in order to survive and grow, because they would be able to free trade with other countries like France and Spain.
- The king would never care for the colonies as much as he did for Britain because he lived there.
- The 13 Colonies needed a Republican system were power would come from the people.
- A king should not be trusted with power because by God's grace everyone is equal and it makes no sense someone is qualified for the job just by birth right.
Answer:
To be fair, yes.
Explanation:
Louis XVI was executed, officially, because of treason; he had been accused of betraying the French nation to the Austrians. Now, in fairness, Louis XVI had pretty clearly tried to flee Paris in order to organize a counter-revolution.
During the French and Indian War, Native Americans sided with both England and France. Different tribes, and sometimes even individuals within the tribes, sided with different sides.
Among the advantages of siding with France was the fact that they were most tribes' main trading partner. As fur traders were often French, the French also had a stronger connection with the tribes. Many French people spoke native American languages, and many married Native women, even joining their tribes from time to time.
On the other hand, the English had a much more turbulent relationship with the Native Americans. However, the English were 20 times larger in number than the French, making them a more strategic partner. They had also promised land and other concessions to Native Americans who fought on their side through the Treaty of Easton.
If I were the leader of a tribe, I would side with the French, as they had a better track record of helping the Native Americans. This in fact is what most Native American tribes did.
