History defines it’s people. Without the past there would not be a conceivable future. Thomas Jefferson’s quote: “He [King George III] has plundered our seas, ravaged our coasts, burnt our towns, and destroyed the lives of our people.” proves that history ties all events together. During the Revolutionary War, Britain brutally fought back against the colonist’s attacks. Thus resulting in the death of many Americans and the destruction of not only ports and towns, but rights as well. These acts strengthened America to what it is today.

The Declaration of Independence
The final event leading to separation between the colonies and Great Britain was made by a single document; the Declaration of Independence. Even today, the Declaration of Independence plays a major role on the United States of America’s regulations and lawful conduct, specifically when regarding grievances towards Great Britain’s King George III. Thomas Jefferson states, “He [King George III] has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil Power.” This quote basically exemplifies the unfairness towards military. The king did not allow America to have their own army but on the contrary, forced colonists to feed and house Britain’s trained army in return for their protection. Military has a humongous impact on lives today. The army provides protection and defense towards all threats. Therefore America should thank Thomas Jefferson for pointing this out and making a definite change within the country’s defense system.
