Please help! only answer if you know the answer! any absurd answers will get reported. Analyze the following excerpt from the introduction of “The Crisis” by Thomas Paine in 1776.

These are the times that try men's souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of his country: but he that stands it now deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly: 'Tis dearness only that gives everything its value. . . . [I]t would be strange, indeed, if so celestial an article as freedom should not be highly rated. Britain, with an army to enforce her tyranny, has declared that she has a right (not only to tax ) but ""to bind us in all cases whatsoever,"" and if being bound in that manner, is not slavery, then is there not such a thing as slavery upon earth. Even that expression is impious, for so unlimited a power can belong only to God. . . .
