Unit 2: American REVOLUTION

Thomas Paine in his pamphlet Common Sense he said "Government, even in its best state, is but a necessary evil; in its worst state, an intolerable one."

Thomas Jefferson in the Declaration of Independence wrote: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."

Abigail Adams in a letter to her husband John Adams who was attending the constitutional convention wrote "I desire you would Remember the Ladies, and be more generous and favourable to them than your ancestors. Do not put such unlimited power into the hands of the Husbands. Remember all Men would be tyrants if they could.”

Phillis Wheatley published a letter in the Connecticut Gazette in March 1774, she wrote: "In every human Beast, God has implanted a Principle, which we call Love of Freedom; it is impatient of Oppression, and pants for Deliverance." She speaks not just of her own heart here, but of all human hearts. The rest of the letter shows her to be an incrementalist for African-American liberty. But we must note her sarcasm when she writes that the hypocrisy of liberty-hungry slave owners “does not require the penetration of a Philosopher to determine.”
"I am convinced of the uncertainty of history, of the possibility of surprise, of the importance of human action in changing what looks unchangeable." - Howard Zinn
