=A History of Control=

A. Koff C. O'Toole A. Vela



Throughout history, a common theme has always been present. Whether a blooming nation or an already established global power, control has been the deciding factor as to which direction the country is headed. Though the form of control often varies (ie. documents, mob riots, protest, etc), the main idea is always the same. In the years leading up to the revolution, there was a constant struggle over which world power had the right to the new world. The colonists, after years of loyalty to their British forefathers, gradually began to question the fact that a nation so far away was controlling their every move. After the revolution, the struggle for power continued, however, this time it was within the colonies themselves. There were arguements as to where the center of power would be, who would control who, and probably the most prominant question, what do we do with this new found freedom. Whether before, after, or during the revolution, a question of power and control is always clearly visible though the sometimes alterior motifs.
