Let me add just a bit of detail along with those answers.
1. I wrote an account of my voyage across the sea on the Mayflower A. William Bradford <em>(He became governor of the Plymouth Colony, and also wrote a detailed account of that colony, titled, <u>Of Plymouth Plantation</u>.) </em> 2. My persuasive writing opposed reconciliation with Great Britain E. Thomas Paine <em> (</em><u><em>Common Sense</em></u><em> was his hugely influential pamphlet.) </em> 3. My writing style includes rhyming couplets C. Anne Bradstreet <em> (She was the first writer in the North American colonies to be published.) </em> 4. In 1776, when others were hesitant, I drafted the grievances of the colonies F. Thomas Jefferson <em>(The Declaration of Independance included grievances against the King of England.) </em> 5. My account of the middle passage created a new genre of narratives D. Olaudah Equiano <em> (His memoirs were published in 1789 with the title, <u>The Interesting Narrative of the Life of Olaudah Equiano, or Gustavus Vassa, the African</u>.) </em>
