America Needs A Revolution
Remember when America was still American? Back when people could make a decision based on facts and beliefs instead of making decisions based on what someone on T.V. told them? People from all over the world came to America and with them brought many cultures. America developed into a technologically advanced society by people from many nations sticking together.
America is under attack now. Not by foreign powers as much as our own people. The people of America have turned against each other. The government is trying to control the masses with “scare tactics”. Everything is becoming a huge mess. The solution? A revolution. We need to get our government back under control. Equal opportunity for everybody. But it is not that simple. The government has used the media to control the masses. Because of that, anybody who spoke out against the government is considered an extremist! This needs to change. Fast. In Hank Williams Jr.’s song “Keep the Change” he sings, “Ill keep my freedom, Ill keep my guns, try to keep my money, and my religion too”. That is what America needs.
Americans need to be trained on how to safely and properly operate a firearm. This would be easy if the Government didn’t control the media and make guns look bad. Guns helped build this country, and if used properly, guns have a lot to offer. If more people hunt, less meat will be store bought, and game meat is a lot healthier than store bought meat. So not only will proper firearm training and hunting save money, it will also make people healthier. People will see that guns are not just for criminals and crazy people.
So again, we need a revolution. We need a revolution not because every day a highly paid hard working office worker ...

  • The Political Thought Of The American Revolution By Clinton Rossiter

    2116 Words  | 5 Pages

    The fight for change and liberty has been no stranger to this world. Since 2740 BC, over hundreds of revolutions and rebellions have taken place, all of which demanded a reform or a change of some nature. Within the last century many major revolutions have been developing in continents such as Asia and Africa. In the non-fiction book The Political Thought of the American Revolution, written by Clinton Rossiter, Rossiter claims that perhaps modern revolutions, such as these in Asia and Africa, have deviated far from the core foundations of the American Revolution. In this book, Rossiter conveys that the American Revolution was the first revolution to have success from breaking away from another country and government. He believes that many revolutions

    Wood’s article is about how it is radical, I believe that the American Revolution should be consider a radical movement instead of a conservative movement. Even though many people think that the reasons behind the Revolution seem to be conservative, the methods used to reach and gain their rights, as well as their independence, seem more radical then conservative. Carl N. Degler believed that the American Revolution is a conservative movement. “In the eighteenth century… support of the state (Degler, 123).” The Constitution in 1788 clearly stated that the state and church would remain separated; however, majority of the Revolution were somehow connected with religion. On the other hand, Gordon S. Wood thought the Revolution was more of a radical movement. “They made speeches… no storming of prisons (Wood, 130).” Within the first paragraph,

  • Home of the Brave

    Recently it’s been harder to claim we are the home of the brave. More and more people are acting afraid of things that have not happened. They are telling us that we should be afraid too. That we should not question the decisions they make. That doesn’t seem very brave to me. The whole idea of being afraid and giving up our civil liberties seems to be anti-American. JFK once said “Let every nation know whether it wishes us well or ill, that we will pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe to assure the survival and success of liberty.”

  • American Revolution Inevitable Essay

    886 Words  | 2 Pages

    This is definitely one of my personal favorites to write about so let's just hop right to the question. So as some may ask, what is the American Revolution? Well, I would like to say it is pretty self explanatory, but that would be irrelevant and most of all incorrect for me to even gesture that. The American Revolution was a political upheaval that took place between 1765 and 1783 during which colonists in the Thirteen American Colonies rejected the British monarchy and aristocracy. Now some may ask, was the American Revolution inevitable? Now based on research, John Adams, one of the central figures in the American Revolution, recalled that Americans were committed to independence in their hearts long before war broke out in America in 1775.

  • The Radicalism Of The American Revolution Gordon S. Wood Summary

    1214 Words  | 3 Pages

    Gordon S. Wood, in The Radicalism of the American Revolution, discusses what it means to be truly revolutionary. In this work, Wood shares his thoughts on the Revolutionary War and whether or not it was a movement radical enough to be considered an honest revolution. Wood discusses the reasoning behind the views of those in favor of the war being considered radical, as well as the views of those who believe the American Revolution to be unfortunately misnamed. He claims that “the Revolution was the most radical and most far- reaching event in American history.” Wood’s work is a valuable source for those studying the revolution because it redefines what it means to be radical, but the piece is also limited by the lack of primary information
