What is one reason that Thomas Paine thinks the colonies stand a good chance against the British

The one reason that Thomas Paine thinks the colonies stand a good chance against the British was that the colonies had very less to lose in the fight against the British. On the other hand the British had everything to lose once the colonies freed themselves from the oppression. The colonies had every resource to prepare arms for the fight against the British. The British would lose out financially in a big way as the colonies would then stop paying undue taxes that the British government charged.

Answer:

Summary of Cormandel Fishers -

Stanza 1

In stanza 1, the poet asks the fishermen to “Rise” as the day is about to appear. She uses some symbols to tell this. First, she says that the wakening skies pray to the morning light which means that the sky which was sleeping in the night has woken up and is welcoming the light. Here the poet uses personification by using wakening for the sky.

The wind lies asleep in the arms of the dawn like a child that has cried all night refers to the atrocities that the land of India and the people of India had suffered in the hands by British during their cruel rule. With the independence, it will vanish away.

Come, let us gather our nets from the shore and set our catamarans free. In this line, the poet asks the freedom fighters of India to take their weapons (nets) To capture the leaping wealth of the tide, i.e. the freedom of India because they are the kings of the sea! which refers to India.

Stanza 2

In the second stanza, the poet urges the freedom fighters not to delay and at once start fighting as the leaders (sea-gulls) have declared a war against the British and they should follow their leader’s path.

According to the poet, The sea is our mother, the cloud is our brother, the waves are our comrades all i.e. the land theirs and everything in it is their family and hence they (the freedom fighters) need not fear.

The land which is mother-god will protect them from the wind or the foreign rulers and protect them (the freedom fighters).

Stanza 3

In the final stanza, the poet says that the comforts and the joys that the Indians enjoy under the might be sweet but the fragrance of independence and the feeling of being free is quite sweeter and hence the freedom fighters should wage a final war on the British.
