Question

Reread Patrick Henry’s quote about the Continental Congress. What change was taking place in how the colonists saw themselves?

Answer 1

The changes that occurred were:

- Colonists were beginning to view themselves as citizens of one nation, Before the continental Congress, the colonies see themselves as members of  individual colonies that is controlled directly by Britain. They never see the members of other colonies as Brethren who want the same goal as them.

-They felt entitled to freedom from British rule.

They believed that the British government has taken advantages of them for far too long. They strongly desired the freedom from British rule. This overwhelming desire is what eventually fueled the American Revolution for independence.
