The first object which saluted my eyes when i arrived on the coast was the sea, and a slave ship, which was then riding at anchor, and waiting for its cargo. these filled me with astonishment, which was soon converted into terror when i was carried on board. i was immediately handled and tossed up to see if i were sound by some of the crew; and i was now persuaded that i had gotten into a world of bad spirits, andthat they were going to kill me. paraphrase the central idea. use third-person.

credit should be the answer

overnment is strong when they have the ability to persuade those they govern to believe government has enough power to force them or should be forcing them to do government’s will.

when enough of the citizenry do not believe government can force them or should force them to do its bidding, government has lost or will lose its strength and power to coerce.

when enough of the citizenry do believe government can force or should force them to do its bidding, they become passive at the least or actively pro-government and repeat government’s own rhetoric to pass on what they have been persuaded by government’s propaganda.

a true majority isn’t always needed to govern or to stop government. many times all that is needed is a strong minority. if a determined 30% of the population rises up against government in a concerted effort to bring it down, this size minority usually will succeed as long as those actively opposing the minority are less in force than the minority. so if 41% of the population sits at home watching tv rooting for one side or the other, they don’t matter. it’s the active parties who make a difference.
