**Entry #2**
Dear Macmillan,

Taxation is becoming the key issue for the conflict between England and us. We believe that Britain cannot tax us because we are not represented in Parliament. Now what do they say? They say we are all Englishmen no matter where we live? What is the meaning of this! My family has come to this new land for freedom from England's eyes. Now they are telling us we are represented by virtual representation. I cannot let such thing happen. James Otis Jr. stated, "**That the colonists, black and white, born here, are free born British subjects, and entitled to all the essential civil rights of such,"** I will not let my father's fortune be taken to the hands of Britain. Let them chant virtual representation. We shall call actual representation. We are entitled to the member of colonies to represent ourselves not an invisible parliament. This is not the only issue. Under the mercantile system, we are existing for the good of England. They call themselves the guardian, yet they are restricting our growth. Not only that, it is very difficult to trade with other nations because of Britain's over excessive parental control. Let us develop our national consciousness. Our habits are far different from those of England. We have different goals and it seems as our goals are harm to each other. The time has come for us to begin cutting relationship with uncaring parent. They are nothing more than an obstacle for our growths. They are afraid of our growths. What kind of parent is afraid of their child's growth? Salutary neglect is no longer our defense. We must resist and protest to the hands of England. If they are afraid of us, that means we have the potential to achieve our goal. Come, let us win this war.

Your other half, Ulysses

Entry #4: //Common Sense// 1774
Jamal, after reading Paine’s Common Sense, my ideas toward you people have changed. I would like to apologize for the harsh act towards you and your friends. I believe now is not the time for friends to fight, but to unite. We are definitely out-powered by England in military. And if there are to be weak unification within us, there will be no chance of independence. I know that you want independence too. We may have different goals, but don’t we love our country? Even though, we are different in colors, habit, class and attitude, aren’t we the proud citizens of this new founding land? If you are with me, listen to me. However, if you are not thoughtful enough to abandon your aggression towards me, burn this letter now. Now my friend, I believe the war will erupt anytime. There is a rumor that you and your friends will be slaves if you participate in the war for given time. If you’re willing to take this offer, come to me. I shall give you food, shelter and education. After the war has ended, which I hope for our independence as much as you do, your life, no your sons, grandsons’ life will be changed dramatically. I expect words back from you.

From your friend, Ulysses

Entry #5: Horrors of War 1777
Jamal, it is good to see you alive. The shot is heard around the world my friend. No one knows which side started the first shot, but it doesn't matter. What matters the most is winning this war. We've won the battle of Concord. We actually won against the redcoats. They are not as invincible as many thinks. They had quite a struggle against the French which also proves that they are beatable. They have yet to see the power of our militias. Although we lack in discipline and experience, our spirit towards independence is stronger than anyone's in this world. There shall be more sacrifices. But do not mourn, those sacrifices are not meaningless. Every sacrifice is set up to fortify every word in Declaration of Independence. I am donating portion of my fortune to militias. It may not be a major help, but we need every help we can get. I also want your help. If you are willing to bet your life to improve your generations' future, write me back. I will be expecting you.

Truly, Ulysses
