 ''Approach this paper through understanding the legacy and implications of Samuel Colt's invention. It was a repeating revolver along with other guns during the age like the Walker Colt that allowed abolitionists to fight the war against slavery. It also settled the West. However, the legacy of such an invention is with us today in relation to drive by shootings and the like. Consider this in relation to American exceptionalism. To be exception is to be 'excellent, superior the best.”

“Are we the best if our political evolution has allowed us to have guns on streets that harm children? Are the vestiges of capitalism more important than democracy? These are all compelling questions that surround Colt's invention, so the research question is only partially about Samuel Colt, and it is more about how we perceive ourselves as a nation.”
