The hardest part about this essay was the research. I found that my new method of researching (databases, books etc) proved to give me way better information that just searching websites. Although my state didn't really have much information on it, I found enough material to reasonably make my point. As for the actual writing of the essay, I find myself wanting to go back to my old writing habits because it make more sense to me. But I just stuck it out and used the new style as much as I could by using the "They say/I say" book and it made things a lot more simple and convienent. Compared to the first essay I think this one had much more strength in the way that I didn't put too much unneeded information in it. But I also think that I provided enough information to satisfy my ideas.
After the first essay I realized that my transitions and topic sentences were weak so I worked a lot more on them this time. I believe that my ideas flowed a bit better this essay. I know my conclusion was not what I wanted it to be AT ALL, I was having a hard time wrapping up my essay for some reason. So next time I know that I have to work more on that and make it what I want it to be, and not have to settle for less. Since there was a lot less time allotted for this essay, I believe that I didn't over-think it like I did last time which caused me to write a no-so-great essay. That was one of the things that Craig brough up to me when we talked about my essay. The maximum page requirements for this essay were also very helpful to me because it made me think a lot more about what information I really needed in the essay and what I didn't. So I just got straight to my points and there was no beating around the bush, I liked that because my essay wasn't so lengthy and it made me really know what information I had to had, and what I could cut out. So next time I write an essay I'm gonna do my best to make sure that I don't write too much, I don't wanna bore my professors too much. =]

TA on the whiskey rebellion.
Who is writing: The President of the United States, George Washington.
Who is the audience: The people of the United States. It is a written proclamation for the people.
Who do the writers represent: George Washington represents the government of the United States.
what is being argued/requested: A lot is being said, at first it talks about how the government is trying to deter those who might be afraid to accept government jobs because they are afraid that people might injure their property or body. Then it goes on talking about making sure that people don't commit treason because it just messing things up. After that it lays down how and when militias can be made according to the government of the United States. A lot of this document is saying what power the President has and what power he does not have, and that the people need to listen to his decisions about the militia and things of that nature. Then at the end it is saying that everyone needs to abide by the laws, by law, and it gave George Washington's testimony.
How is it being said: It is being said is a pretty high manner, like he is in a place of authority. Which he respectively is, but I noticed that its pretty apparent how he feels about his position. But it is not being rude or anything towards the people of the U.S., its just clearly laying down the laws and pretty much trying to get people to follow what he says and give him power over the militia. The people liked Washington in his time, so there shouldn't be much problem with following him but he is just making sure.
Justification: It is justified because the President, George Washington, signed it. He says in the last paragraph, "In testimony whereof I have caused the seal of the United States of America to be affixed t these presents, and signed the same with my hand." This shows that its a legitimate document.

Delaware Loyalists Final Draft.
Delaware Loyalists
Niccolo Machiavelli once said that, “...good morals, if they are to be maintained, have need of the laws...” (Niccolo, Machiavelli. Personal quote) The idea of breaking away from England is the type of idea that will cause the Patriots to go wrong by ignoring laws which, in effect, cause them not to follow or to forget their learned morals and values. It is written, “that every freeman for every injury done him in his goods, lands, or person, by another person, ought to have remedy by the course of the law of the land, and ought to have justice and right for the injury done to him freely without sale, fully without any denial, and speedily without delay, according to the law of the land.” (The Delaware Bill of Rights of 1776) Since the Patriots were convinced that the only right thing to do was to break away from England, they have forgotten that basic right according to the Bill of Rights. There are many Loyalists who have had their property destroyed by the Patriots simply because they do not wish to separate from England. Other than the idea that destroying property in such a manner is morally wrong, it will also continue to make Delaware’s economics suffer. The economy will not only suffer because of the property damage, but because the Patriots refuse to accept the fact that Delaware needs help from the English in order to create a strong economy. Eventually the financial fight to re-build or fix the broken economy will be a battle that the people of Delaware cannot win without support from England. In effect, breaking away from England will only set up Delaware for financial ruin. Breaking away from England will also degrade all the standards and qualities that the great colony of Delaware was founded upon, as well as harm the people both politically and economically.
Politics will be dramatically affected in a negative if Delaware separates from England. In the Delaware Bill of Rights it is written, “That all government of right originates from the people, is founded in compact only, and instituted solely for the good of the whole.” (The Delaware Bill of Rights of 1776) In order to properly govern with this bill in mind, the people of Delaware will have to do what is best for the colony. Breaking away from England certainly is not the best for Delaware because it will only hurt trade since England is responsible for much of the profit from imports and exports. So in the case that Delaware separates from England, there will be hostility between the two and the trade market will go down in ruins. Also, ignoring the Bill of Rights will show that there is no pride in Delaware because that would be knowingly disobeying one vital piece of the foundation Delaware was built upon. Showing no pride in Delaware restates the fact that the Patriots' morals are failing. Politics are not the only areas in which Delaware will suffer if they do separate from England.
Economics will also greatly suffer from any separation from England. In 1723 and 1729 Delaware was going through economic crises. Delaware “issued currency to combat depressions in the early part of the eighteenth century.” (The Journal of Political Economy) After creating the new currency to assist Delaware, it was said that the beneficial effects of this first act were so immediate that on November 2, 1723, a second Act was passed providing for the further issuance. This fact supports the fact that Delaware can begin to support itself in order to stay strong, but it also needs the additional help from England because the problem did not end here. The first time this crisis occurred was in 1723, while it reoccurred again in 1729. (Currency Issues to Overcome Depressions in Delaware, New Jersey, New York and Maryland, 1715-37) Based on repeating patterns there is enough evidence to conclude that if there is no support from England, Delaware will surely fall, once again, into financial ruins because of their lack of experience.
In one instance, a great deal of illegal smuggling was taking place in Delaware. The British then stepped in, in order to help stop the smuggling and help restore the economy. It was told that, “Consequently the state of illicit trade would be a better indication of the effects of the British legislation, especially upon the trade of this district, than either the number of new manufactures or the fluctuations of the amount turned into the exchequer. One of the chief aims of the new acts was the prevention of illicit trade.” (The Trade of the Delaware District Before the Revolution) It is clear to me that the British wanted to help out and stop the smuggling in order for local manufactures can make more profit based on the fact that according to the English, “The chief aim was to make the empire self-sufficing, and as a means to this end it was thought that the mother country should furnish necessary protection to the colonies, who, in return, should render her obedience.” (The Trade of the Delaware District Before the Revolution) I agree that the British wanted to help strengthen local manufactures for the good of Delaware. A reasonable conclusion that can be drawn is that Delaware is supposed to, by moral, stay loyal and obedient to England to show their gratitude.
True loyalists know the importance of staying faithful to their mother England. It is known that Delaware is in England’s debt. In the Petition of American Loyalists, 1778, it is said that, “We [loyalists] have taken the Liberty to address ourselves to your Lordship on this Subject; and we entreat your Lordship to communicate to his Majesty our Desires to serve him and Readines to Sacrifice our Lives in Defence of his Person and Government” (Petition of American Loyalists) It is all clearly stated in that document, that many people of the colonies still love the King and are willing to do anything in order to serve him. Following this petition is one way that confirms that the Loyalists, opposed to the Patriots, have not forgotten or ignored their values. There is no morally correct side to choose from except for that of the loyalists because they live with their values in mind when problems such as breaking away from England arise.

There are many Loyalists who have had their property destroyed by the Patriots simply because they do not wish to separate from England. Other than the idea that destroying property in such a manner is morally wrong, it will also continue to make Delaware’s economics suffer. The economy will not only suffer because of the property damage, but because the Patriots refuse to accept the fact that Delaware needs help from the English in order to create a strong economy. Eventually the financial fight to re-build or fix the broken economy will be a battle that the people of Delaware cannot win without support from England. In effect, breaking away from England will only set up Delaware for financial ruin. Breaking away from England will also degrade all the standards and qualities that the great colony of Delaware was founded upon, as well as harm the people both politically and economically.
Politics will be dramatically effected in a negative if Delaware separates from England. In the Delaware Bill of Rights it is written, “That all government of right originates from the people, is founded in compact only, and instituted solely for the good of the whole.” In order to properly govern with this bill in mind, the people of Delaware will have to do what is best for the colony. Breaking away from England certainly is not the best for Delaware because it will only hurt trade since England is responsible for much of the profit from imports and exports. So in the case that Delaware separates from England, there will be hostility between the two and the trade market will go down in ruins. Also, ignoring the Bill of Rights will show that there is no pride in Delaware because that would be knowingly disobeying one vital piece of the foundation Delaware was built upon. Showing no pride in Delaware restates the fact that the Patriots' morals are failing.
Economics will also greatly suffer from any separation from England. In 1723 and 1729 Delaware was going through economic crises. Delaware “issued currency to combat depressions in the early part of the eighteenth century.” After creating the new currency to assist Delaware, it was said that the beneficial effects of this first act were so immediate that on November 2, 1723, a second Act was passed providing for the further issuance. This fact supports the fact that Delaware can begin to support itself in order to stay strong, but it also needs the additional help from England because the problem did not end here. The first time this crisis occurred was in 1723, while it reoccurred again in 1729. Based on repeating patterns there is enough evidence to conclude that if there is no support from England, Delaware will surely fall, once again, into financial ruins because of their lack of experience.
In one instance, a great deal of illegal smuggling was taking place in Delaware. The British then stepped in, in order to help stop the smuggling and help restore the economy. It was told that, “Consequently the state of illicit trade would be a better indication of the effects of the British legislation, especially upon the trade of this district, than either the number of new manufactures or the fluctuations of the amount turned into the exchequer. One of the chief aims of the new acts was the prevention of illicit trade.” It is clear to me that the British wanted to help out and stop the smuggling in order for local manufactures can make more profit based on the fact that according to the English, “The chief aim was to make the empire self-sufficing, and as a means to this end it was thought that the mother country should furnish necessary protection to the colonies, who, in return, should render her obedience.” I agree that the British wanted to help strengthen local manufactures for the good of Delaware. A reasonable conclusion that can be drawn is that Delaware is supposed to, by moral, stay loyal and obedient to England to show their gratitude.
True loyalists know the importance of staying faithful to their mother England. It is known that Delaware is in England’s debt. In the Petition of American Loyalists, 1778, it is said that, “We [loyalists] have taken the Liberty to address ourselves to your Lordship on this Subject; and we entreat your Lordship to communicate to his Majesty our Desires to serve him and Readines to Sacrifice our Lives in Defence of his Person and Government” It is all clearly stated in that document, that the people of the colonies still love the King and understand the importance of preserving the mother and child relationship that is made so strong. Delaware and other colonies are willing to do anything in order to serve the king, which means that there is no reason to break away from England and ruin their relationship.

Rough Draft #4.
Niccolo Machiavelli once said that, “...good morals, if they are to be maintained, have need of the laws...” The idea of breaking away from England is the type of idea that will cause the Patriots to go wrong by ignoring laws which, in effect, cause them not to follow or to forget their learned morals and values. In the Delaware Bill of Rights it is written, “that every freeman for every injury done him in his goods, lands, or person, by another person, ought to have remedy by the course of the law of the land, and ought to have justice and right for the injury done to him freely without sale, fully without any denial, and speedily without delay, according to the law of the land.” Since the Patriots were convinced that the only right thing to do was to break away from England, they have forgotten that basic right according to the Bill of Rights. There are many Loyalists who have had their property destroyed by the Patriots simply because they do not wish to separate from England. Other than the idea that destroying property in such a manner is morally wrong, it will also continue to make Delaware’s economics suffer. The economy will not only suffer because of the property damage, but because the Patriots refuse to accept the fact that Delaware needs help from the English in order to create a strong economy. Eventually the financial fight to re-build or fix the broken economy will be a battle that the people of Delaware cannot win without support from England. In effect, breaking away from England
will only set up Delaware for financial ruin. Breaking away from England will only degrade all the standards and qualities that the great colony of Delaware was founded upon, as well as harm the people both politically and economically.
One of the areas that separating from England will hurt Delaware is the politics.

Rough draft numero 2
When a mother raises her child to grow up to be healthy and successful, it is only appropriate for the child to show gratitude for everything the mother has done. The values she taught while growing up are life-long values that will be carried and used everyday. Embrace and use those values to continue to grow as a person, create a great life. Unfortunately, not everyone is always as appreciative as they should be. In some cases the child is too foolish to appreciate what the mother has done for them, and they reject the mother completely. This is the case of England and New England where England is the mother of New England. The people of the colonies should be thankful instead of resentful towards her. Breaking away from England will only degrade all the standards and qualities that the great colony of Delaware was founded upon, as well as harm the people both politically and economically.
One of the areas that separating from England will hurt Delaware is the politics. In the Delaware Bill of Rights it states, “That all government of right originates from the people, is founded in compact only, and instituted solely for the good of the whole.” In order to properly govern with this in mind, the people of Delaware will have to do what is best for the colony. Breaking away from England certainly is not the best for the colony because it will only hurt trade since England is responsible for much of the colony’s profit from imports and exports. So in the case that Delaware was to separate from her, there will be hostility between the two and the trade market will go down in ruins. Also, ignoring the Bill of Rights will show that there is no pride in Delaware because that would be knowingly disobeying one vital part of the foundation Delaware was built upon.
The idea of breaking away from England has made the Patriots forget many of their learned morals and values. In the Delaware Bill of Rights it states, “that every freeman for every injury done him in his goods, lands, or person, my another person, ought to have remedy by the course of the law of the land, and ought to have justice and right for the injury done to him freely without sale, fully without any denial, and speedily without delay, according to the law of the land.” Since the Patriots burned the idea in their skulls that the only right thing to do was to break away from England, they have forgotten this basic right. There are many Loyalists that have had their property destroyed by the Patriots simply because they do not wish to separate from England. Other than those acts being despicable and morally wrong, it will also make Delaware’s economics suffer. It hurts the economics because property is ruined and damage bills add up, causing financial problems. Eventually the financial fight to re-build or fix broken properties will be a battle that the victims cannot win. In effect, it will only set up Delaware for financial ruin.
Economics will also greatly suffer from any separation from England. In 1723 and 1729 Delaware was going through some economic crises. It is shown that, “Delaware issued currency to combat depressions in the early part of the eighteenth century. After creating the currency to assist Delaware, it was said that the beneficial effects of this first act were so immediate that on November 2, 1723, a second Act was passed providing for the further issuance. This fact supports the fact that Delaware can begin to support itself in order to stay strong, but it also needs the additional help from England. The first time this crisis happened was in 1723, and then the same thing happened in 1729. Based on the repeating patterns it is shown that if there was no support from England, Delaware will surely fall once again into financial ruins because they need all he extra support they can get.
In one instance, lots of illegal smuggling was taking place in Delaware. The British stepped in, in order to help fix the smuggling problem. It was sad that, “Consequently the state of illicit trade would be a better indication of the effects of the British legislation, especially upon the trade of this district, than either the number of new manufactures or the fluctuations of the amount turned into the exchequer. One of the chief aims of the new acts was the prevention of illicit trade.” Basically all this is saying is that the British want to help out and stop the smuggling so other local manufactures can make more profit. According to the English, “The chief aim was to make the empire self-sufficing, and as a means to this end it was thought that the mother country should furnish necessary protection to the colonies, who, in return, should render her obedience.” That kind of thinking makes complete sense because England is helping Delaware out, which means that Delaware is supposed to, by moral, stay loyal and obedient to England.
True loyalists know the importance of staying faithful to their mother England. It is known that Delaware is in England’s debt. In the Petition of American Loyalists, 1778, it is said that, “We [loyalists] have taken the Liberty to address ourselves to your Lordship on this Subject; and we entreat your Lordship to communicate to his Majesty our Desires to serve him and Readines to Sacrifice our Lives in Defence of his Person and Government” It is all clearly stated in that document, that the people of the colonies still love the King and understand the importance of preserving the mother and child relationship that is made so strong.

After creating the currency to assist Delaware, it was said that the beneficial effects of this first act were so immediate that on November 2, 1723, a second Act was passed providing for the further issuance. This fact supports the fact that Delaware can begin to support itself in order to stay strong, but it also needs the additional help from England. The first time this crisis happened was in 1723, and then the same thing happened in 1729. Based on the repeating patterns it is shown that if there was no support from England, Delaware will surely fall once again into financial ruins because they need all he extra support they can get.
In one instance, lots of illegal smuggling was taking place in Delaware. The British stepped in, in order to help fix the smuggling problem. It was sad that, “Consequently the state of illicit trade would be a better indication of the effects of the British legislation, especially upon the trade of this district, than either the number of new manufactures or the fluctuations of the amount turned into the exchequer. One of the chief aims of the new acts was the prevention of illicit trade.” Basically all this is saying is that the British want to help out and stop the smuggling so other local manufactures can make more profit. According to the English, “The chief aim was to make the empire self-sufficing, and as a means to this end it was thought that the mother country should furnish necessary protection to the colonies, who, in return, should render her obedience.” That kind of thinking makes complete sense because England is helping Delaware out, which means that Delaware is supposed to, by moral, stay loyal and obedient to England.
True loyalists know the importance of staying faithful to their mother England. It is known that Delaware is in England’s debt. In the Petition of American Loyalists, 1778, it is said that, “We [loyalists] have taken the Liberty to address ourselves to your Lordship on this Subject; and we entreat your Lordship to communicate to his Majesty our Desires to serve him and Readines to Sacrifice our Lives in Defence of his Person and Government” It is all clearly stated in that document, that the people of the colonies still love the King and understand the importance of preserving the mother and child relationship that is made so strong. Delaware and other colonies are willing to do anything in order to serve the king, which means that there is no reason to break away from England and ruin their relationship.

Essay 2 rough draft.
When a mother raises her child to grow up to be strong and healthy, isn’t it only appropriate to appreciate everything she has done for you? The values she taught you while you were growing up are life-long values that you must live up to everyday. Embrace those and create as great of a life as you can for yourself and your family. Unfortunately, not everyone is always as appreciative as they should be. Sometimes the child is too foolish to appreciate what the mother has done for them. This is the case of England and New England. England is the great mother of New England, we should be thankful instead of resentful towards her by separating from her for good. Breaking away from England will only degrade all the standards and qualities that the great colony of Delaware was founded upon, as well as harm the people both politically and economically.
One of the ways that separating from England will hurt Delaware is the political aspect of Delaware. In the Delaware Bill of Rights it states, “That all government of right originates from the people, is founded in compact only, and instituted solely for the good of the whole.” In order to govern with this in mind, Delaware will have to do what is best for the colony. Breaking away from England certainly is not the best for the colony because it will only hurt trade. England is responsible for much of the colony’s profit from imports and exports. So in the case that Delaware was to separate from her, there will be hostility between the two and the trade market will go down in ruins. That is most definitely not for the good of the colony. Also, going against the Bill of Rights will show that there is no pride in Delaware because that would be knowingly disobeying one foundation of Delaware.
The idea of breaking away from England has made the Patriots forget all of their good values. In the Delaware Bill of Rights it states. “that every freeman for every injury done him in his goods, lands, or person, my another person, ought to have remedy by the course of the law of the land, and ought to have justice and right for the injury done to him freely without sale, fully without any denial, and speedily without delay, according to the law of the land.” Since the Patriots burned the idea in their skulls that the only right thing to do was to break away from England, they have forgotten this basic right. There are many fellow Loyalists that have had their property destroyed by the Patriots because they do not believe in the same thing the Patriots do. How is that in any way right? It is not right at all. Other than these dispecable being morally wrong, it hurts Delaware’s economics as well. This is because it hurts the economics of the colony by ruining property and farms and killing important people. Eventually the financial fight to re-build or fix broken properties will be a battle that Delaware cannot win. In effect, it will only set up Delaware for financial ruin.
Economics will also greatly suffer from any separation from England. In 1723 and 1729 Delaware was going through some economic crises. It is shown that, “Delaware issued currency to combat depressions in the early part of the eighteenth century.” (Currency Issues to Overcome Depressions in Delaware, New Jersey, New York and Maryland, page 182) After creating the currency to help Delaware out, they were no longer in any financial crisis. It was said that the beneficial effects of this first act were so immediate that on November 2, 1723, a second Act was passed providing for the further issuance of 6,000 euros. This fact supports the fact that Delaware can keep itself strong, but it also needs the help from England. The first time this crisis happened was in 1723, then it also happened again in 1729. Based on the repeating patterns, if there was no support from England, Delaware will surely fall once again into financial ruins. One example to support this idea is that when a young adult graduates from high school and begins to attend college, that young adult will need some financial help from their family, even though they can be independent now. Delaware is that young adult, he still needs help from its mother England, he is not ready to be on his own.
True loyalists know the importance of staying faithful and thankful to mother England. Delaware is in England’s debt, and Delaware knows it. In the Petition of American Loyalists, 1778, it is said that, “We [loyalists] have taken the Liberty to address ourselves to your Lordship on this Subject; and we entreat your Lordship to communicate to his Majesty our Desires to serve him and Readines to Sacrifice our Lives in Defence of his Person and Government” It is all clearly stated in that document, that the people of the colonies still love the King and understand the importance of preserving the mother to child relationship that is so strong. Delaware and other colonies are willing to do anything in order to serve the king, there is no reason to break away from England and ruin the bond.
