In common sense, paine suggested that american independence from britain was inevitable. impossible. uncertain. illegal.

American independence from Britain was not impossible because the Revolution itself has shown that this is possible, and all the problems that have arisen afterwards are an example of their successful mastery. It was not even illegal, since most of the colonists were for independence, that is, the democratic right of the majority, and as such was declared the Declaration of Independence. I would not say that it was uncertain in terms of outcome, because the colonists-patriots were resolved to finish the whole thing to the end. What Paine has suggested is inevitability, following the natural law, as a child separates from a mother in a mature age, according to the same natural law, a person can live independently and create conditions for living.

The answer is: it was inevitable.

abraham lincoln, according to anyone who was connected with agriculture, represented the worst of northern politicians. shortly after lincoln was elected, south carolina seceded from the union. they along with other southern states, retained their anger. in a way, it was their own fault: the democrats were split in the south. some wanted slavery to be extended in other states that were about to join the union and some didn't want it badly enough. lincoln had a solid backing from his party: the republicans were united in not wanting slavery to be expanded.
