    "The whole farm was deeply divided on the subject of the windmill. Snowball did not deny that to build it would be difficult buisness."
    This impacted Napolean. Having the debate in the farm with all the animals around allowed the animals to witness the dogs chasing Snowball off the farm. If Snowball wouldn't of made his speech, then later in the story Napolean couldn't spread the rumor that Snowball stole the windmill idea from him. If Napolean didn't spread the rumor, then the farm....

  • Animals confess that Snowball came to them at night and told them to do dreadful things, which they did.

    Pg. #93
    "The three hens who had been the ringleaders in the attempted rebellion over the eggs now came forward and stated that Snowball had appeared to them in a dream and incited them to disobey Napolean's orders."
    This affect every single animal on the farm. These confessions cause the animals who confessed to be slaughtered. This showed the animals that the farm is just as bad as it was with Mr. Jones around
