My Friends and Countrymen,

This howling wilderness has been converted into a flourishing and
populous country. But, is this not due to the way in which the
colonies have been treated from the beginning? Isn’t our growth a
result of Great Britain’s willingness to encourage our industry and
protect us from foreign countries? If so, surely some degree of
gratitude, such as becomes a free and liberal people, would be
appropriate.

The peace and security we have already enjoyed under Great
Britain’s protection, before the mistaken system of taxation took
place, must make us look back with regret to those happy days
whose loss we mourn, and which every rational man must consider
as the golden age of America.

Let us then, my friends and countrymen, be patient and avoid all
inflammatory publications that are disrespectful to our most gracious
Sovereign. Let us look forward to a happy termination of our present
disputes, and a cordial reconciliation with our mother country.

polling is a process and the outcome is not involved in the process itself.

the outcome, which is an unfavorable rating for a particular candidate is not affected by the mechanical process of polling.

it rather depends on the number of people voting in favor of the candidate.

this is an outcome of people's preferences.

no

explanation:

not everyone in america is free. it is has always been a unequal society. and yet people come in swarms, in search of better lives. some are brought as children, unaware, unknowing. some arrive and just don’t leave. they build lives, pay taxes, raise families. some enter illegally, fleeing persecution in their home country.

there are many reasons why human beings are so attracted to america, despite its history of bitterness towards immigrants.

there are almost two million immigrants brought to the us when they were children. president donald trump and his collaborators are determined to rid the us of as many undocumented immigrants as they can, and stop others from coming because none of their ancestors were immigrants.

america has so many things and yet it lacks the one thing that humanity needs to fully thrive. and so this country will not be at peace in itself until it resolves the pain at the heart of slavery, attacking immigrants, and crumble the rights of those with less power.

no because we were not ready for war
