Question

99 points !!! As American colonists questioned British rule, public discussion focused on topics such as colonial independence and individual rights. In turn, literature from the American Revolutionary period often reflected important political and social themes, including national independence, personal liberty, and individualism. In your opinion, how does the literature of this period influence future generations of American literature? Where have you seen traces of these themes and how were they presented in the other literature you read?

Answer 1

Yes. American literature from the Colonial times still influence us today, as it is our past history, and we must learn from history to find answers for problems today. While some parts of the colonial time period's thinking should not affect us today (such as the allowance of owning guns), the general aspect, and the thought of creating "a more perfect union" should still be in context today and in the future, regardless of the time.

hope this helps
