Importance Of Being A Patriot

But what does patriotism means to me? It means of course to have love for our homeland we should always respect our homeland because that’s where we come from, our country, if we living in a country we should respect it because they give you the privilege to live there, to support, to be inspired by, and to change our lives from the way we live them. What many has got confused is they believe they showed their love for this country by donating, or doing things for example, clothes, shoes, in line to donate blood, joining the army. But what people don’t know it’s that Patriots support the countries in every way possible. But that does not mean Americans has to agree with anything that the president says, we all have our rights to speak what

Patriotism is not blindly following ones country as some think. Patriotism is working to ensure you’re your country lives up to your moral and ethical values both at home and abroad. As well as being critical of your country when it does not live up to those standards. Patriotism as defined by the Oxford English Dictionary is “The quality of being patriotic; love of or devotion to one's country” (Oxford 2014). That’s it. It doesn’t say you have to take any specific action like flying the flag, serve in any function such as the armed forces or support any particular party for election. However; devotion is usually manifested in some type of behavior. In fact the definition is open to interpretation and subjective at best. True American

     I know it is hard to believe we (the colonists) would be on the verge of a revolution against our own homeland. My father has explained to me the reasons we deserve independence from God, the King, and the British people. There are many things going on in the colonies to lead us to our current thoughts. The British people have imposed many Acts upon us colonists.

The British may have been able to capture Bunker Hill, but the continental army was able to kill more men then the suppressive “strongest army in the world”. But, the British army does not have General George Washington, who has and will, successfully avoid any British attempt to capture him. Parliament cannot even agree on what to do in this war! Large groups of Loyalists have already been flocking to rebel behind the Patriot cause! The British army will fall in on itself before they can stomp out the roaring fire that is

Separation from Britain was a brilliant alternative route by the Second Continental Congress, and their supporters, the patriots, they were not submissive to the Britain tyrannical reigning. However, there are many online article, books, and credible websites that support the idea of America remaining with the British for commercial and military purposes. But the delegates in the Second Continental Congress, for example, John Dickson, George read, and many other colony representatives, gained an opening in seceding from the British Crown. Since the American Revolution War already began before the Second Continental Congress met, delegates wanted to raise a stronger army and weapon to counter the Crown forces. Additionally, an English

Is it about time the colonists want to break away from the Britains? The colonists have been under Britain's wing for a long time, and it is about time for them to break free. Britain didn’t want to let them free, and the only way for the colonists to break free is to fight for it. Being tired of taxes, raising revenue towards the government by collecting money from imports, and the cause of Boston Massacre just invoked the American Revolution. The colonists might of been weaker, but they didn’t give up, which gave them the motivation to go against the red coats without hesitation.

Others, would not follow in such vile acts if there were any casualties. These people would be more known as Loyalists for they would not betray Britain and the Loyalists had a valid reason for siding with Britain, as they thought logically in what the outcome would result in. Britain had all the strengths to win this war, the finances, best military, navy and soldiers, and larger amount of people. Patriots did not have the finances or a strong military to be able to have a chance to win the war. Loyalists also were making deciding to stay loyal because they did not agree with the Patriots. They were actually pleased with the way Parliament was

However the war weakened the colonists’ loyalty to Britain because the British thought the colonists did not provide enough for the long costly war the British had fought to protect them, whereas the colonists were shocked by the weakness of the British military tactics.

The patriots fought unconventional compared to the British. The British troops were dominant when they fought in the wide open. The patriots used Idian tactics also known as guerilla warfare. Guerilla warfare proved useful because“ Militiamen struck quickly, often from behind trees or fences, then disappeared into the forests. Because many Americans wore ordinary clothing, it was difficult for the British to distinguish rebels and loyalists…(Digital History).” The British soldiers could not return fire without knowing if the men were patriots or loyalists. Guerilla warfare proved useful again because it prevented the British from making a decisive blow. Battle tactics like guerilla warfare the patriots were able to outlast the british thus making the tactics useful in winning the

However the king still had power or authority over the colonists because the king still gave commands in the New World like the colonists had to send money back to England and the colonists in return would receive goods like food. The king protected the colonists from getting killed by Indians by making a law that the Indians stay west of the Appalachian Mountains and the colonists don’t need to go west. The king was,totally grateful,and protected the colonists from getting killed or badly

How would you feel if you were working so hard and you just quit. I know you would definitely feel awful after it. So, why would the British give up on the Rebels in the American Revolutionary War. They put in all this money and they would just waste all of it if they gave up. The agreements they would have to make with the Rebels are not fair at all to the British.

Your actions have made us want to rebell and become our own country. A good relationship between us should go something like this: You should have let us have the right to vote for our leaders. Everyone in England is able to vote for their leaders, so if we are truly Englishmen why do we not have the full rights of Englishmen? Also, you should seek our council in the matter of restoring to the treasury what was spent on the war with France. Instead you have demanded our aid in enforcement of unreasonable acts taxation. Our grievances are thus: First, you have made the tea tax too high. Tea is the most popular drink of Englishmen and you have taxed it to pay for a war in which the colonies had no quarrel. Second, you made the stamp act, taxing paper products. This strains a free press; no doubt advantaging the crown. It also taxes one of our few luxuries, card games - again, unfairly paying for a war we didn’t want. Third, you made us board and house British soldiers with the quartering act. Taking care of them means we have to pay for their needs, and in a random, undistributed way. Fourth, you closed the Boston port after the Tea Party as a punishment. This makes international trade impossible and

The British are coming! The British are coming! Yes, we have all heard the stories of the terrible deeds committed by the Red Coats, but what if that is not what really happened? After all, history is written by the victor. Numerous battles were fought in the Revolutionary War. While most had a clear start and a definite end, it has never been decided who started the Battles of Lexington and Concord. Though after reading the eyewitness accounts, it is truly simple to understand. The blame lays at the feet of the Colonial Militia, because they incited the battles and continued to attack, even as their enemy retreated.

We are local farmers empowered by the king to run this land. I am a local shopkeeper named Samantha. We are above the behavior of the rebels against the king also known as the Patriots they are traitors are exhibit terrible behaviors. They have plan violence and threats against our king but he is not worried he believes that the way of life he is trying to create will sustain whomever is loyal to him.

In addition to a just cause, America is fighting with a few key advantages. While the British have a bigger Army and a Navy as well, America would be fighting on its own soil. To add to that, Britain also has about 6 months worth of sailing between her home country and the colonies themselves. Another plus side for the colonies is that they could fight Britain just as well, even with a
