Throughout writing this essay about Bacon’s Rebellion, I’ve learned a lot about how my writing process and philosophy has changed. When I would write a paper or an essay before, my rough draft would essentially be my final draft with very little changes to it. I’ve learned how much better a piece of writing can become when you become when you write it over and over again. During each revision of the essay, I would always be adding or taking away something. The outline helped me more than I thought it would. My essay was basically my outline with more detail and commentary. Not only my writing process has changed, but my writing philosophy has changed as well. I still think that you need to use your heart when you’re writing, but I also think that you need to think before you write. You can’t just write what you’re feeling before you think about the consequences or impact those words may have. I’m happy with the end result of my essay and like the changes I made during my entire writing process as well as the positive impact it has had on my writing philosophy.
History is important. It has an impact on your life even if it doesn’t directly affect you. Bacon’s Rebellion is like that. It led to the American Revolution, which did affect all of us. It affected our nation’s history. If the American Revolution had never occurred then we might still be a British territory. America might still be ruled by England. Instead of a small section of states being called New England, the British government might’ve changed the name from America to New England. Americans might not have a president, a king and a royal family might instead rule us. We might not have all the freedoms and liberties that we enjoy today. All the parts of our democracy might not even exist the way it does now. The end of British rule in America meant the beginning of a new future for us.
