I never realized how much finger pointing there was during the revolution. Cullen's paraphrase of their arguments not only made me laugh but made me realize what each side was claiming. In general, chapter two of Cullen's book helped me realize how ambiguous the revolution was. I feel like nobody was really on the same page. They all had different goals and objectives and interpreted the Declaration in different ways. In a way I'm starting to get the feeling Americans were starting to throw hissy fits. They got so used to being very separated from the rest of the English government that when they were being ruled or controlled they didn't like it. Of course, they were  right in the sense that they should have representation in England. Their "hissy fits" kind of reminds me of my old job. When I first started we had one supervisor who didn't do much supervising. She trusted me and the two other pages to do what needed to be done when it needed to and that we wouldn't abuse her trust. We could do our jobs they way we wanted, take our breaks when we wanted and pretty much do as we pleased. Then she left and we got a new supervisor. He started changing things and would direct us and tell us what to do when and we had to check in with him before and after we took our breaks. At first we were really upset because he was doing what normal managers and supervisors do; we were just used to our old boss and her lack of actual supervision. We really had no reason to be upset; he was just doing his job.
