II year JPEng and CEP Questions

II year JPEng and CEP -ites may post their questions here. I will respond to them.

----
Let me attempt answers here for the questions asked in the comments section below.


Reg. Liberty Song 
1. The liberty song which I understand became a very popular (pop) song during the last phase of struggle against England leading to declaration of Independence. The Stamp Act became a breaking point which was capitalized by the leaders asking for independence from England. The argument was, since England was not using the money collected from the American colonies for the welfare of the White residents of America, England had not right to collect it. Stamp Act insisted on collecting money by way of stamp on all legal translations and claims.  The Act helped leaders demanding freedom more popular support from the colonies.

The Liberty Song has that background. It was written about three years after the Stamp Act. However, you will find the concern mentioned above in the poem as well. They do not want to pay, if they cannot be taken care of well.

2. I am not able to understand the second question, hence, apologies. My position is that native american story telling did not become part of any visible, dominant narrative tradition of USA. However, I admit I am subject to correction.

Sir
1) Could you explain (as though it was an answer to an exam) "The Liberty Song" by John Dickinson in the context of The Stamp Act of 1765 and The Township Act of 1767?

2) How does Native American Storytelling become a part of their history?

3) The Importance of Christopher Columbus's Voyages.

4) Thomas Paine's work as Propaganda Writing?
