Bang! Bang!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am guessing this is multiple choice, if not, I believe the answer would be Imperialism. The definition of Imperialism means: <span>a policy of extending a country's power and influence through diplomacy or military force. Though the United States did not use military force directly against those islands, we got that land fighting with the Spanish (which is using military force.)
So in short, the answer is Imperialism.</span>
It was an intelligent man writing about how breaking away from England was a good idea. It inspired people to fight the Revolutionary War because it was....common sense (sorry, that was kind of bad) ;p.
Hope this helps! Please let me know if I'm wrong :)
Your answer is C. Twelve. Hope this helps!
