assuming the author is Thomas Paine n the passage is from The Crisis, the main points are about the American Revolution. The Britain colonial rules were unfair and people had god-given rights. The colonist should not expect mercy from those who had conquered.
Paine wrote the passage in The Crisis to convince colonists to revolt against the British rule. He cited a revolutionary war against Britain was supported by God. The British had no right to rule or conquer the colonies and independence was a natural right and interest. He also warned against expecting mercy from the Brits during the war.
