Answer:
Dear _______,
We need independence! Britain is making living in the colonies unbearable. I've been trying to keep up with my taxes, but they are just too high. Britain doesn't live under the circumstances we do, they should not be able to tax us unless we have a opinion in the matter.
I also dont understand why we are forbidden to move West, we got all this new land and all these new taxes, and for what? They're is more fertile land there, my plantation could thrive there... We need to make these decisions on our own and not let Britain make them for us.
I do not understand why I had to share my household with a red coat and it was very unpleasant, I had to provide food and water, that I could hardly provide for my family in the first place.
The British have been deciding what we should sacrafice, even though it barely affects them. This is ridiculous! We need to make our own decision. We are the only ones to know the flaws in the parliament we are living by. Please consider the reasoning behind my decision to support the independence from Britain.
sincerely,
(farmer)
By the time Mehmed became Sultan Mehmed II of the Ottoman Empire (1451), the Byzantine Empire was reduced to Constantinople itself, the Peloponnese, and a handful of Aegean islands. The Ottomans had had control of the territory surrounding Constantinople for decades. Mehmed fortified both sides of the Golden Horn, and would eventually lay siege to Constantinople.
Those fortifications were largely there to block reinforcements from the Black Sea, namely the Genoese in the area. In response, the Byzantines stretched a chain across the Golden Horn to keep the Ottomans from using their naval superiority to assault a section of the walls.
Some Christian reinforcements managed to get past the blockade, and Mehmed decided to make up for his navy’s failures by rolling his ships on greased logs overland, then putting them back in the water behind the chain. This rendered the Byzantines chain useless, spread their troops to defend all of the city’s walls, and made the siege much easier on the Ottomans.

answer is Byron: Professor David Lurie is a man in denial, about his superiority,
about his keen humility, and about his sexual use of women. Byron had a few
affairs himself, and his most famous work is Don Juan, about the legendary lover.
Lurie's attraction to Byron reflects Lurie's romanticizing about his own sexual
life. </span>
