Short Essay Questions 1. The American leaders created the Galloway plan with a more moderate view on political things. They proposed having a union between the colonies in the British Empire. The more extreme American Leaders, the second continental congress, created the Declaration of the causes and Necessities for Taking up Arms. They wanted for troops in the colonies to fight the British forces. 2. The Americans that became loyalists were more prominent in New York, Georgia, and New Jersey. These people were generally wealthier and were more involved in the government of their colony. On the other hand, the Patriots were mainly found in New England and Virginia. These people were less wealthy and not as involved in the American Clergy as the loyalists. 3. I agree with the statement that Thomas Paine’s writings had a greater impact on the winning of American Independence than any other event. First, these writings were popular among all of the colonies. The pamphlet gave the idea of independence to the colonists in a way that didn’t seem so radical. His words were so powerful and influential convincing many colonists that it was common sense not to let a small country very far away rule over them. After this, more people most likely wanted independence and would fight for it. 4. The American Revolution could be called a civil war in a way. The Americans did split into a group that supported independence and another that supported Britain and they did end up fighting each other. Also, the colonies are part of Britain. For the colonists to fight British soldiers is like fighting the people in your own country. Even though they didn’t live in the country, it could be called a civil war because the colonies were technically part of Britain. 5. The central government under the article of confederation was partially successful in governing the colonies. For the success part of the articles of confederation, it did win the war of independence, and passed laws including the law of ordinance and northwest ordinance. However, when it came to needed to be forceful about making a decision, they failed. One instance was when they needed to pay war debts and collect taxes. In these situations they had no executive or military to make sure the laws were abided by.
