What argument does the author counter in this exerpt from Thomas Paine's common sense? I have heard it asserted

I have heard it asserted by some, that as America has flourished under her former connection with Great Britain, the same connection is necessary towards her future happiness, and will always have the same effect.

life will not be easy it will be filled with war, lack of resources, damaged planet, and lack of land to live on.

i imagine life will be easier in the sense that we will have better technology and better health and medical advances as well as infustructure growth and economic resilliance we will have much stronger militaries and probably be constintly fighting with other countries for resources and lang that is actually cleanenough to live or farm on . as well i think the need for fresh water will only brainliest answer lol

it might be feelings and action sorry if i am wrong
