It’s going back and forth; the numerous battles are won then lost by the British. The rebels are still boycotting, making speeches, and writing books to persuade us to become independent. Only a few of these techniques actually become really popular, such as the Common Sense by Thomas Paine. This forty-seven page pamphlet explained why citizens should make the laws instead of the king. Like all the other documents, it pushed that independence in the colonies would be a great improvement to us colonists. The reason I know so much about this is because I have read the whole book. Don’t tell Linus.
