Mercy Otis Warren in the Revolution of American. Mercy Otis Warren (1728–1814) was an American artist, student of history, and writer whose sibling James Otis was a significant extremist in the Revolution. She encouraged, ineffectively, that equivalent right for women is incorporated into the American. Constitution.
From this vantage point, Mercy grabbed her pen to expound satirically on the British and their Loyalist adherents. Through lyrics, handouts and plays, she offered a voice to Patriot grumblings, nitty-gritty British outrages in Boston, and staunchly supported for freedom.
