You could have the three men sitting in the same jail cell discussing civil liberty and civic responsibility.
What can I include & How can I include it as far as "Transition" to the "Background" ?
What do you think they would say to each other?

If your first paragraph is the scenario, the second paragraph could start something like this: Although all three men lived in different times and different places, they had several ideals in common.
Thankyou! If I do need other help, I'll be sure to ask you. Can you please mark my question that way when I ask a question, you can hopefully go back to it and help. Much appreciated
You're welcome. And yes I'll keep checking back in the next day or so.
