King George VI

    In Henry’s speech, he first sets the stage by using a proud tone while explaining the importance of war with Britain. His illustrious delivery of the speech itself is very moving, as the efforts to convince America to settle on the side of war. He goes on to convey, “Sir, we are not weak, if we make a proper use of  those means which the God of nature hath placed in our power” (Henry 38). His tone of taking charge and only accepting the best from his country supports the claim that Henry is indeed the proud man he is. Henry also in his speech uses an enlightening tone to inspire his crowd he uses terms to explain how he will settle for only the best for the country. He uses phrases such as, “The war is inevitable-and let it come!” (38). This phrase brings up the emotion of the crowd as they believe in war, and Henry himself is full of power as he enforces that war must go on. He uses such enthusiasm and inspiration to uplift himself and the crowd to ensure that war is necessary. Overall, Henry;s tone of the proudness and

A common phrase is “History is written by the victors”. Perhaps that is the reason why King George III of England is remembered as being the mad king who lost the American colonies. However, there is more to the king than what the rebel colonists made him out to be. King George’s reign of nearly 60 years was full of hardships and setbacks, yet he was a hard worker who was kind and looked out for the welfare of his empire.

Patrick Henry’s speech is to persuade the audience to go to war with Great Britain. He does this flawlessly by using the following rhetorical strategies: imagery, repetition, and emotion including other rhetorical strategies, such as rhetorical

In a total war, the home front must be entirely united to continue to fight and fund a war effort, and Churchill appeals to unity and patriotism. He asks the people of Britain to give what Churchill himself will be offering ‘“blood, toil, tears, and sweat”’ (32). If the Prime Minister can give his everything to fight in the war, it encourages the audience to want to participate as well. Churchill continues to appeal to unity through his use of words like ‘we’ and ‘our’ to unite the country with the government as they fight for one cause. By creating a ‘team’, they can effectively rally the audience into action. The public opinion may believe that the Germans are unstoppable, but Winston’s emotionally charged words that with total effort and war from all fronts with the support of God, the feat can be achieved (35). Because of the war, the Prime Minister conveys the necessity for “victory; victory at all costs; victory in spirt of all terror, victory, however long and hard the road may be; for without victory, there is no survival” (38-40). By bringing the risk of destruction of the country should they fail, it further persuades the audience to want to give their all so they can win the war. After riling up the crowd with the emotionally charged pathos arguments, Churchill closes with a final remark: ‘“Come then, let us go

The soldier’s time to serve would be up in just ten days, the British continued to win battles, all hope of winning the war was fading and everyone was ready to put down their weapons and surrender to Great Britain. However, George Washington was not settling with anything less than trying their best. He kept that little flicker of hope that was still left, alive. The Continental Congress did not see much hope in the war either and turned the responsibility of the war to General George Washington. Washington received a message from Congress saying,

The quote informs the citizens of potential rewards and the legacy that would be left behind by them should the war be won. It boosted pride among the British Isles, and morale drastically

Was King George lll a tyrant? Who was King George lll? What is a tyrant? King George lll was the ruler of the England and used to own the 13 colonies. A tyrant is one or more person who gets too much power and acts as a cruel ruler. The colonists described him as a tyrant because he had too much power over the colonies. Now, our constitution guards against tyranny by federalism, separation of powers, checks and balances, and sharing power between small and large states.

George Washington was one of the most skilled, and maybe the best person that could have held the title of founder of the United States of American. He had the capabilities of representing his people on the Continental Congress, the intelligence to flip his misfortunes to his victories on many battles against the British and on his personal life, the generosity of believing in people that were ignored or discriminated by society and more remarkably, the bravery needed to act against the laws and even risk his own life on several occasions for the liberty of his people, among many other aspects that makes him one of the most studied historical characters and sources of inspiration.

The American colonies were originally loyal to Britain. Early on, however, King George called for some actions that sparked feelings of revolution. The French-Indian War had left severe consequences for Britain such as debt. The colonists were angered by the taxes and unjust treatment they were given so they decided to declare war on the British to become independent. Although some argue that King George’s power protected them, the American colonies were justified in breaking away from their British forefather because of the tyrannical acts of King George and his levying of taxes on goods in the American colonies.

Do you know what would have happened if King George III was more reasonable and listened to the colonies? The American Revolution could have been avoided. The British government could have had a better and productive role in the British colonies and King George III could have been more reasonable to the British colonies and not tax as much as he did. If these things had happened, America would be in a state of dominion under Great Britain until they gained their independence in a more peaceful way.

King Henry VIII of England is the most infamous and notorious of all the Monarchs of England. He was a vile and heartless man who beheaded over 72,000 people in his 38 year reign and called for public celebration when his first wife, Catherine of Aragorn died on the 7th of January,1536.

The 16th and 17th centuries brought up the proposition of an absolute monarch, this is a ruler with total power over a country or territory. The idea of kings being chosen by God, or the divine right of kings, lead to absolutism, which was seen throughout Europe. Monarchs could be tyrants, they could take away the rights of their citizens. Monarchs could also be prosperous, improving their country economically, military, or gaining foreign alliances. Europe's absolute monarchs left the 16th and 17th centuries prosperous due to the fewer conflicts, the morals of monarchs, and everybody had an equal chance at upward-mobility.

It was the late 1700’s, the New England Colonies were being ruled by the cynical, power-hungry tyrant known as King George III of Great Britain. Although King George did not initialize the colonization of America, he had a drastic effect on its history and what makes modern America what it is today. ¬¬

When opening her speech, she informs the soldiers of how she was advised to have “fear for treachery” however she still addresses the soldiers as “faithful and loving people” (Elizabeth I). This act of prowess not only adds to her credibility, but also creates guilt for those who chose to abandon them. By addressing this problem, Elizabeth I effectively teaches soldiers the foolishness of turning against them and urges those who have to conform again. She also injects patriotism in her troops through the discussion of their dilemma, saying she “think[s] foul scorn that Parma or Spain, or any prince of Europe, should dare to invade the borders of [her] realm”. Using words with negative connotation such as “foul scorn” to describe the enemies builds hatred in the soldiers; this hatred obliges them to defeat the enemy regardless of other factors. This also puts England on a pedestal, stating how much of a crime it would be to invade such a glorious country, which further boosts the soldiers’ patriotism. This further If all fails, the queen promises an award for more materialistic soldiers.

In 1968, after Paul Robert Cohen had been convicted of “disturbing the peace” due to wearing a jacket with “Fxxk The Draft” on it, the Supreme Court eventually overturned the conviction, which was unprecedented in American politics. In movie “The King’s Speech”, King George VI (stared by Colin Firth) said this particular word 10 times consecutively just so he could overcome the fear of speaking in the public. And we all knew the rest of the history when he was finally able to speak in public through the radio broadcast on Britain’s declaration of war on Germany.
