Imagine that Johnny had never burned his hand. What might change in the story? Consider Johnny's personal relationships and his work with the Sons of Liberty.

What would have happened if Johnny decided to work with the English instead of the Sons of Liberty?

How might the story have changed if Lavinia had been kind, caring, and completely accepting of Johnny?

If Johnny has not suffered his terrible hand accident possibly would not be part of the fight of the united states against the British empire and probably historical facts as Boston tea party never happened.

Johnny probably would allowed to the British win the war because Johnny had an impressive ability to convince the people, a natural leader.

Possibly Lavinia would married with Johnny, but they had to go to live to another country because the difference between rich and poor family were too evident.
