Discussing the Impact of Historical Events in American Literature.
Thesis: The authors of American literature were naturally Englishmen who thought and wrote in a colonial manner. While some writers emphasized the colonists' attachment to the British monarchy, others emphasized the ideological divisions that prompted them to flee their own country. The American Revolution highlighted the widening contrasts between American and British political ideologies.

Supportive statements: The colonists were inspired by a number of very successful political writers, including Thomas Paine and Benjamin Franklin, as they came to the conclusion that revolution was unavoidable. Poetry was used as a tool throughout the American Revolution to express the ideas of both the loyalists and the Continentals. Satires on the Revolutionary War were successful propaganda and eventually focused on other facets of the American landscape. In the years following the American Revolution, authors in the country were urged to create authentically native literature. Multiple writers—William Cullen Bryant, Washington Irving, James Fenimore Cooper, and Edgar Allan Poe—started a significant literary revolution that lasted for half century.
