What might have happened to the delegates if the new nation had failed to win its freedom from great britain?

The leaders of the Revolution, who sought to establish a new nation, independent of British control, likely would have been convicted of high treason against the British crown.  

Under the law of Great Britain, it was considered high treason "if a man do levy war against our Lord the King in his realm" -- which is exactly what the revolutionaries had done.  The punishment for high treason, under British law, was to be hanged, drawn and quartered.  That's the usual way it's stated, but the actual order of events is drawn, hanged and quartered.  A traitor would be tied to a horse and drawn (that is, dragged) to the execution site, where he would be hanged.  Before the hanging killed the person, they'd cut him down mutilate him -- things such as disemboweling and castrating the victim.  Then they'd quarter him, which meant tying him to four horses which would pull in four different directions to rip the man's body apart.

So there's plenty of awful stuff that might have happened to the delegates of the new nation, the United States, had they failed to win independence from Great Britain.

because everyone tends to get their feelings hurt if they don't agree with something someone is doing and vice versa. it's a major issue that needs to be dealt with, especially in the christian society. everyone thinks that christians hate gay people, because it is a sin, and christians "just hate everyone who sins and every one is going to hell for sinning"(saying that all in a sarcastic tone but i'm just going to go ahead and tell you why everything with that type of view on christians is wrong.

#1. christians do not hate gay people. and if they do, then that is their own personal problem. christians are not supposed to hate anyone. if you hate a neighbor (or any person basically), then that is as if you are hating jesus.

#2. being gay is in fact a sin according to the holy bible. it is in genesis. and no, the fact that it is a sin, does not mean that god hates you. he is grieved that a person is sinning against his word, but he still loves that person. in fact, christians are supposed to love everyone. we are supposed to love our enemies, but hate the sin they are doing. we love you and respect you, but we do not agree with every decision you make, is basically what i'm trying to say.

hope this you ! (:
