Prejudice in Favor of New England

Summary: In this letter, John Adams tells Abigail Adams how the world humans live in is tied to social relationships. He also tells her how out of all the colonies, New England is the best one of them all. This is because people there are purer english people and are not mixed with other cultures such as the irish cultures. Also because New England enforces grammar schools for the young people and they also support religion and morals very much in difference from other colonies. They also provide many jobs for the people and prove that they can put their knowledge to work. Unfortunately, even though they have all of these things, as they are only a colony, they are still exploited by the governors of the country.

Rhetorical Devices:

Appeal to reason: "The poeple are purer English Blood, less mixed with Scotch, Irish, Dutch, French, Danish, Sweedish, etc., than any other; and descended from englishmen too who left Euorpe, in purer times that the present and less tainted with corruption than those they left behind them." (John Adams 681)

                  This quotes shows appeal to reason, bevause John Adams says how New England is a better colony than the rest. With this quotes he says how english are pyrer peole than the ones in other colonies, and this makes the reader think how this is actually a reason for them to be better.

Persuasion: "The public institutions in New England for the Education of Youth, supporting colledges at the public expense and obliging Towns to maintain grammar schools, is not equalled and never was in any part of the world." (John Adams 681)

                 This quotes shows persuasion, because John is talking about how education is not equal all over the world. This quote makes the reader feel like this should change and there should be equal education for the youth no matter where.

Refuting Patrick Henry

What is it that we have always believed in? This is a simple answer; God. He has taught us everything that we are. He is who has given us everything that we are, our parents, our goods, and the power to fight for what we want. Now, there comes this common man, who thinks that what he says is what right and is what should be done. Who is this Patrick Henry to come and tell us what we are supposed to do in order to live happy? Who does he think he is to come and change what we believe in? Yes, we all want one thing in common; freedom, but what he wants in order to obtain it is just atrocious. Ever since the history of time, we have been held in God’s hands, and he has taught us things that we have followed and respected. For example, he has said that we have to value life as a gift, and we are no one to be taking it away. How is it possible that after all the blood that has been shed, this man wants more lives to be taken?! There has been enough war already and it needs to stop. Patrick Henry is acting just as all those bloodthirsty British pigs. If we want liberty, we need to act as the bigger people here and do it in a civilized manner. By making revolts we are just making the situation worse for us because the British army will just react in a more violent way. Patrick Henry has just been fooling you and does not let you see, he is the one making us blind. Henry tells us that it is better to die than to be prisoners, but we all know this is not true. We all prefer to be alive. This man also says how after all the petitions we have made; the British still do not listen, and yes it is true, but his reactions to all of this result in violence that is just embarrassing. He makes it seem as if all of the colonists want freedom and will take war as the only option. This man is just making our situation here worse than ever. People, we need to stay civilized. We need to keep on protesting and protesting. We need to continue this and never stop, do it until a point where it becomes so annoying that something will be done about it. I just ask you to please rethink your options and take the wiser one; think about what God would want you to do. God bless America!
