This question is incomplete. Here's the complete question.
Men of passive dispositions look somewhat lightly over the offenses of Great Britain, and, still hoping for the best, are likely to call out, "Come, come, we shall be friends again for all this."...But examine the passions and feelings of mankind: bring the idea of reconciliation to the nature of man, and then tell me whether you can hereafter love, honour, and faithfully serve the power that has carried fire and sword into your land? If you cannot do all these, then you are only deceiving yourselves….
Your future connection with Britain, whom you can neither love nor honour, will be forced and unnatural, and being formed only on the plan of present convenience, will in a little time fall into a worse condition more wretched than the first. But if you say, you can still pass the violations Great Britain has done the colonies over, then I ask, hath your house been burnt? Hath your property been destroyed before your face? Are your wife and children destitute of a bed to lie on, or bread to live on? Have you lost a parent or a child by their hands, and yourself the ruined and wretched survivor? If you have not, then are you not a judge of those who have. But if you have, and can still shake hands with the murderers, then are you unworthy the name of husband, father, friend or lover, and whatever may be your rank or title in life, you have the heart of a coward…
Thomas Paine (1776)
How does the author try to appeal to the emotions of American colonists in his attempt to build an argument and support for the American revolution? Cite evidence from the text to support your claims.
Answer:
First of all, Paine uses passionate wording (love, honor, faithfully). Furthermore, he uses it to convince the colonists of how contradictory it would be to be faithful to Britain after many violent transgressions ("serve the power that has carried fire and sword into your land").
Rhetorical questions about whether or not the colonists have suffered Britain´s violence themselves is a call to be gentle with those who have, but most of all, the setting to say that those who haven´t and oppose the revolution are cowards.

Liono4ka [1.6K]

Answer:

Inspired by the principles of racial pride, autonomy and self-determination expressed by Malcolm X (whose assassination in 1965 had brought even more attention to his ideas), as well as liberation movements in Africa, Asia and Latin America, the Black Power movement that flourished in the late 1960s and ‘70s argued that black Americans should focus on creating economic, social and political power of their own, rather than seek integration into white-dominated society.
