Why did the English colonies have a difficult time seeing themselves as one nation?

History

Answer:

In the 1600s and 1700s, Europeans came to  

North America looking for religious freedom,  

economic opportunities, and political liberty.  

They created 13 colonies on the East Coast of  

the continent. Later, when the colonists won  

independence, these colonies became the 13  

original states.  

Each colony had its own government, but the  

British king controlled these governments. By  

the 1770s, many colonists were angry because  

they did not have self-government. This meant  

that they could not govern themselves and make  

their own laws. They had to pay high taxes to  

the king. They felt that they were paying taxes to  

a government where they had no representation.  

They were also angry because the colonists were  

forced to let British soldiers sleep and eat in  

their homes.  

In 1774, leaders from the colonies met in  

Philadelphia to discuss British laws that they  

believed were unfair. They believed that Great  

Britain did not treat the colonists as equal  

citizens. They thought the people needed more control over their government. In 1775, colonists  

fought against the British army in Massachusetts.  

The leaders met again and decided to organize  

an army. George Washington became the  

commander in chief of that army.  yw lol

In the prince, machiavelli suggests that a ruler should take care that the fear he inspires in his subjects does not turn to hat
coldgirl [10]

Machiavelli ensure that is more beneficial to be feared than loved. As this will not turn the fear into hate and the ruler can also control the state peacefully.

Every prince will want to be considered merciful, but mercy should not be mismanaged. No prince should mind being called cruel for keeping his subjects peaceful and loyal. Punishing a few, and thus averting disorder, is better than allowing troubles to develop that will hurt many. New rulers cannot avoid seeming cruel, because their states are insecure.

You cannot be both loved and feared, then it is better to be feared than loved. Men are generally fickle, afraid of danger, and greedy. A prince must be careful not to make him hated, even though he is feared; to do this, he must keep his hands off his subjects' property and their women. People will sooner forget the death of a father than the loss of an inheritance. However, when a prince commands an army, he must be cruel in order to control his troops. In conclusion, people love at their own wish, but fear at the prince's will, so a wise ruler will rely on what he can best control.

Continuing his discussion of virtues that are not virtues, Machiavelli considers mercy and cruelty. As with generosity and miserliness, he comes down on the side of the supposedly bad quality. He bases his judgment on consideration of what benefits the most people. It is no use to be merciful if by doing so, a prince allows disorder in his state to get out of control. A controlled amount of cruelty, which harms a few, can avert widespread violence and lawlessness, which harms many.
