WARM-UP
Read the quotation from Common Sense, and
then answer the question
What is the message of the quotation?
Becoming independent isn't necessary for the
colonists to do
Independence is something the colonists will
never achieve
The colonists will not feel right or well until
they declare independence.
DONE
Until an independence is declared, the
Continent will feel itself like a man who
continues putting off some unpleasant
business from day to day, yet knows it must
be done, hates to set about it, wishes it over,
and is continually haunted with the thoughts
of its necessity. .
- Thomas Paine, Common Sense, 1776
