Revolutionary War Persuasive Speech
Cross the Delaware
Right after George Washington read the Crisis #1 written by Thomas Paine, all of his troops headed right off to war with light hearts and bright faces. During this time period the colonists were losing the war and things weren’t going so well. When we were at our lowest point President George Washington used this speech to motivate the soldiers to be better. In the Crisis #1, pathos is the most persuasive technique used because Thomas Paine was trying to motivate the soldiers by instilling guilt in them.
“The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of his country; but he that stands Soldiers just like any other person would respond to being called cit NOW, deserves the love
