POV: William Franklin

I can't BEVLIVE🤬😡😰 that those PATRIOTS would even dare question the leadership of our GREAT, HANDSOM, STUDIOS, ALLURING, WONDERFUL, AND POWERFUL king! He is here to Protect US! ANd they want to throw that AwaY🤨😨😱??!?! AND MY DAD SIDED WITH THE PATRIOTS!!!!!!???!?!?!??! Unbelivable. Rediculous, utterly Rediculous!

Explanation: William Franklin was the son of Bengimin Franklin and was a loyalist to the British crown who belived that America relied on Britian for resorces, protection and alliences with other countires. Without them, he belived that this would ruine thier status and would only create state wide chaos and disorder as well as bad standing with other countries.

Bro why are we paying taxes 💸 when we got zero say in anything. The British really think they can take our rights and get away with it. Loyalists are mad weird for siding with the British and we don’t even have our own port that's mad sus.🤔 Everytime the British got beef we get dragged into the war ☹️

How is it fair to tax us 3,0000miles away when we have zero say in parliament.if we're British then let's act like it, real reps no taxes!!!😱Liberty means actual voices🔈 not some drama show #wake up#no taxes 💤🚫

his argument reflects key Enlightenment idea especially the belief that governments should exist with the consent of the governed. If the colonists were truly British citizens, then they deserved the same political rights and representation as those living in Britain. Being taxed by a government 3,000 miles away, without any voice or vote, felt like a betrayal of those rights.

Enlightenment thinkers like John Locke argued that liberty isn't just about freedom from oppression it's about having an active role in shaping your own government. He believed that when a government stops protecting the rights of its people, the people have a right to stand up and demand change. That’s exactly what the Patriots were doing. They didn’t want chaos they wanted fairness. Real representation, real voices, and real liberty not distant control or empty promises. These revolutionary ideas were rooted in Enlightenment philosophy and gave colonists a powerful framework to justify their fight for independence.

what the flip britain, yall literally promised to help us and even after we asked yall to put in more effort yall still didnt help us. ur being so flippin annoying, you think they're allat like boi what the frick..🙄 we are so close to throwing you and your loyalists into the boston harbor along with all of that tea😤we litwally just want independence already, this is getting too out of hand.. ima go draft our breakup letter with big ben and johnny adams brb😹✌️

#wedontneedyall #independance #frickthis

The enlightenment helped shape revolutionary ideology due to the fact that most enlightenment

The Enlightenment philosophy shaped these revolutionary ideals by influencing the colonists with newer ideas which helped them gain a sense of liberty and become more aware of their “free will”. This helped many colonists be more open to going against Britain.

POV: Thomas Paine

Y'all we can't keep on doing this no more with the British💔🥀. We be in the most toxic relationship with the British right now; they really be violating all our natural rights. This is straight up just tyranny as this point😭🙏. All you loyalist seeing all this and still supporting the British, just straight up delusional🤦‍♂️. So we all have to rise up and make our own government that actually has the people's interest🤞.

#CreateOurOwnGovernment

#TryannicalRule

The Enlightenment introduced new ideological concepts, like natural rights and the social contract, to the colonies which shaped many ideals of the American revolution. Those like John Locke, Baron de Montesquieu, and Jean-Jacques Rousseau were important figures that helped to create such frameworks, that would be deeply embedded in the minds of people, which helped to further foster a distinct American identity from the British. Therefore, when the British began to infringe on the Colonists way of life, from their perspective it was attack on the very dignities they held dear sparking a catalyst that would lead towards revolution.

Close read: In Common Sense, Paine makes it clear that kings are corrupt, there’s no chance of making peace with Britain, and the only rest is independence. Loyalists like Seabury stated the opposite, warning that going away would lead to chaos. While, Jefferson’s Declaration of Independence focuses on the idea that all people have natural rights, should govern themselves, and can overthrow rulers who treat them unjust.                     Themes: Paine’s Common Sense attacks the British monarchy, arguing that a break from Britain was going to happen, and calls for full separation. The Loyalist writings focus on the dangers of independence, stressing that the colonies depended on Britain. Jefferson’s Declaration of Independence focuses on the importance of self government and natural rights and also shows a plan for a new republican government.

# data[].attributes.body
Independence = chaos 🚨. Britain protects our trade, our homes, our future. Throwing that away for ‘liberty’ is reckless. True freedom = law + order under the Crown 👑. #LoyalToTheCrown #OrderOverChaos

This Loyalist view shows how Enlightenment ideas about government were understood differently. Instead of using natural rights to argue for independence, Loyalists used Enlightenment beliefs about order and stability to defend loyalty to Britain. They believed true freedom came from protection under the law, not risky rebellion.(1A)

Blud, they gotta stop striping us dry of our rights man. At this rate they gonna start taking my wigs bro 😭😭😭. I think it's time we give them a taste of their own medicine because they can't just rule us disguising it as, they're just protecting us, taking our rights in plain daylight like hello, where's my Life, liberty and Pursuit of Happiness. Even if they think their monarchy is all that even, like we even have the power to overthrow them... yet 😏. Any who, y'all should check the Declaration of Independence Ima post on my story cause it about time we take matters into our own hands and show who's boss by throwing hands with them.

Why mess with success? The British parliament is literally the most perfect government ever; power balanced, people protected. I’m proud to be English🗣️

Rebels aren’t chasing freedom, they’re chasing chaos!

Tear the British Constitution apart you’ll face the consequences.💀☠️⚰️

Stay loyal, stay safe😷

#LoyalandProud #ParliamentPerfection

The Enlightenment shaped revolutionary ideas by emphasizing the importance of strong governments and unity. Loyalists, like Leonard argued that staying loyal to the British parliament preserved the connection between the colonies and Britian keeping a stable society.

#overthrowthatgov #LifeLibertyPursuitOfHappiness #patriotsaregoated

The Enlightenment philosophy shaped the revolutionary ideas of freedom and liberty by making it apparent to colonists that they have natural rights and the right to overthrow a harmful government, ideas inspired by John Locke. Jefferson referenced these ideas when constructing the Declaration of Independence, as well as stating that all men are equal, which was inspired by Rousseau and Montesquieu.
