response paper 2- ” An American Publishes a Magazine”

In the beginning of the passage Shawn introduce readers to the idea of being Americans living in America. As Americans we are a sovereign nation (govern by power,rules and laws). When it comes to crimes committed by the soldiers of the sovereign nation Americans as individuals reacted with shock but as a sovereign public there was no cry of outrage or lament over the torment or torture by the soldiers on the people in chains.this passage raises a lot of doubt on the mind of the readers about what the United States stand for. Is it a country of peace which helps those that are helpless? Or is it the cause of all the problems.
