John Dickinson was a lawyer and legislator around the time the American Revolutionary War started (Shmoop Editorial Team, 2008).

The John Dickinson House, also called Poplar Hall, is open for the public to view at the John Dickinson Plantation located Kitts Hummock Road. In 1739, Samuel Dickinson started constructing the mansion that his son, John Dickinson, would spend most of his childhood.

John Newberry (an English writer) had a major impact on children with A Private Tutor for Little Masters and Misses written 1750 which taught children proper behaviour.

The degree to which the Declaration of Independence recognizes and responds to the trepidations of moderates of that time is rather obvious, for the actuality is that their apprehensions must have been appeased, due to the fact that only John Dickinson refused to sign, when all others had seen the justification of separation from Britain, in spite of the threat of war. Moderation, as represented in the article provided, states that it is an attitude, a way of thinking calmly and analytically about

Emily Dickinson, and John Donne all seem to elicit thoughts and ideas from the readers of their pieces. “Shall I Compare Thee To A Summer’s Day” is a poem where the author is verbalizing over the love he has for his significant other to that of a summer’s day.

Dickinson’s view was that “independence from Great Britain was ‘treasonous action of the most despicable kind’” (Pandel, n. d.).

style, prose, and content that come with the times. This is showcased in the works by famous poets like William Shakespeare, Emily Dickinson, and John Donne. William Shakespeare is credited to be a wordsmith ahead of his time for crafting some of the most well known works in literature, Emily Dickinson is considered one of America’s leading female poets of the 1800s, and John Donne is recognized as one of the leading members of the metaphysical movement.

The delegates were pronounced figures at home, they would learn to trust each other for different tasks. John Adams and Samuel Adams were cousins who favored the independence. John Dickinson was important because he would do the stuff for the British tax policy, which was used for the reconciliation with Britain. Benjamin Franklin was apparently a British spy and people were in fear because of that
