Part 2-5b

An example of both loud persistence and patient silence is the United States at war. During the American Revolution, the U.S. persistently fought the British, never letting up in their fight for freedom. Eventually, their tactics worked and they were able to defeat the British and gain independence. The U.S. was patiently silent during, World War II, until they were attacked and joined the war. Due to the U.S. sending fresh troops into a war that had been fought for years, they were able to swing the tide of the war and help the allies win.
