Can we suppose that the people of the south, would submit to having the seat of Empire at Philadelphia, or New England; or that the people oppressed by a change of government, contrasting their misery with their former happy state, would not invite Britain to reassume the sovereignty.” — James Chalmers, Plain Truth, 1776

That by itself was something that Chalmers always thought to be impossible without serious repercussions. He used to say that in the case of achieving freedom, America would just end up being attacked and maybe even colonized by some other country. What happened, thought, was that after the revolution, other countries gained respect for America as an opponent and the country was eventually left to be.

Creon expects total obedience from his subjects
Explanation:
In scene 1 of Antigone, we can see the order that Creon issued for no one to make a funeral for Polynices, and whoever disobeyed him would be punished with death.

However, Antígone is willing to make the funeral of Polynices, because she believes that the inmotion deserves to be veiled as a member of the family and not an indigent.
