THOMAS PAINE

YANKEE DOODLE

GREAT FIRE OF NEW YORK

DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE

GEORGE WASHINGTON

PHILLIS WHEATLEY

Isabel is givenCommon Sensewhen she is in a shop. Paine argued that it was Common Sense for the colonies to become a free and independent nation. It mirrored Isabel's own thoughts that it was common sense that she, too, should be free from the bonds of slavery.

Yankee Doodle was a popular song in the colonies in the 1700s. Written to mock colonists for their crudeness in comparison to the British, it was later sung with fervor by the Patriots. In the book, Isabel hears a woman singing the song and realizes that she was sending a secret message.

Isabel risks her life to save Lady Seymour along with some of her possessions during the Great Fire on September 21, 1776. The book describes how the occupying British struggled to put it out or to discover the cause.

The Declaration of Independence is cited in the novel and read to the citizens of New York City. Afterwards, the inspired Patriots rally together and tear down a statue of King George III.

George Washington is mentioned several times. He is the General of the Continental Army and is seen and quoted throughout. There is even reference to an actual event of a thwarted plot by the Loyalists to assassinate him.

Phillis Wheatley was enslaved and became an acclaimed published poet and notable supporter of the Patriot cause. Isabel sees her book in a store and remembers her mother telling her about it.
