    In the essay “Foot Soldiers of the Revolutionary Army” by Gary B. Nash, the authors of the book tell of a Private Joseph Plumb Martin that kept a diary that details the life and hardships that the soldiers endured. Martin writes, “The army was now not only starved but naked. The greatest part were not only shirtless and barefoot but destitute of all other clothing, especially blankets.” (Gary Nash 124) The blacks were involved given the chance to receive freedom, which did not follow through completely. Although the colonies needed men for the army, these two simple sentences exposed the truth that people didn’t know at the time and even now.…

    In this film there are shown two sides of the American Revolution. The Americans and the Britishers had equally contributed to the American Revolution. My understanding of the American Revolution was limited to the disturbance created by the British troops, but after viewing this film my understanding has extended to believe that colonists had triggered these reactions from British Parliament. The Stamp Act, a decision made by British Parliament, was to impose taxes on the colonies in order to gain more money, because England was in need for it. The Americans viewed this as British Parliament obtaining their power over American’s liberty (“Boston, Bloody Boston: The Revolution”). My understanding of American revolution was limited to the Boston…

    Taxation without representation was not just an economic grievance for the colonists. They had learned by reading John Locke and the "Commonwealth men" that all governments try to encroach upon the people's liberty. If the people remained "virtuous," or alert to their rights and determined to live free, they would resist "tyranny" at its first appearance.…

    In the book, War without Mercy, Race and Power in the Pacific War, by John W. Dower and Published by Pantheon Books in 1986, the author powerfully illustrates the extreme racial tensions of Japan and the United States and how they affected policies in both countries. During World War II, the altercations between Japan and the United States were often overlooked, since Germany was taking all of the attention away from the world. But, as described by Dower, the ugly racial battles between Japan and the United States obviously point out that there was more friction between the two countries than most people believe. Another overlooked aspect of World War II is that racism was actually a major component of the war, not just a partial element of the War. Dower demonstrates that racism was a huge underlying factor that affected how people viewed the war as well as the war itself and that racism is highly neglected as a subject of World War II. Lastly, Dower argues how the racial stereotypes that fueled Pacific conflict did not disappear, but rather adapted to peacetime. Throughout the book Dower argues three major components of World War II; that the United States had more racist aggression against the Japanese over the Germans, that Racism was a huge influence during World War II, and that racism between that United States and Japan not only continued but also played a big role in peacetime and rebuilding policies between that two countries.…

    As humans, it is in our nature to look back on our experiences and our past knowledge in order to build or construct something for ourselves. When the colonists separated from British rule, it is evident that the ideas they were attempting to escape ended up following them as they began settling into their new society. European ethnocentrism created an immense amount of hardships for the colonists as it was so deeply ingrained that it made it extremely difficult for American self-rule to become feasible. Between 1600 and 1678, it became evident that there was disagreement between the colonists on a number of topics including diversity and the ideas of expansion and disruption, which made it challenging for the nation to be united. Unknowingly,…

    Revolutionary War

    As everyone may have heard, recently the war between England and America has just ended. Through all the battles America has stayed strong and pushed through. We showed England that as an army, we could beat them and gain our independence. We persevered in the face of strong opposition and the might of the British. But how did this all begin and why did we, as a colony want to put an end to this? One of the main reasons the colonists started rebelling was because they felt they were not being represented fairly in Britain. They wanted to have a say in how their lives were being impacted by laws set forth by the Brits. In 1765, colonists were forced to pay taxes on all sorts of printed materials. They refused to do so and took to the streets to protest. Then a band of colonists decided to form a group and called themselves the Sons of Liberty. A couple of years ago, in 1773, some of our compatriots managed to sneak into the Boston Harbor and threw crates of British tea that was being taxed, overboard. I think this event was the main cause that got people thinking to rebel against Britain. By this act, Boston set the tone for rebelling against Britain and became the focus of mid April 1775, the British sent in troops to the colonies to curb the activities of the colonists by all means possible. There was a shot fired, no one knows for sure who fired it, the colonies or the British soldiers and this was the shot that began the American Revolutionary war. 3 months later, in June 1775, the battle at Bunker Hill took place where the British lost close to 2,000 soldiers whereas the colonists lost 400. Even though the Declaration of Independence was completed on July 4, 1776, the American Revolutionary War lasted from 1775 to 1783. I believe that America, now as an independent country deserves their independence.…

    The United States experienced a time period full of changes between the years of 1860 to 1877. During this time period, many constitutional and social developments brought about great change in the country, in both constitutional and social areas. Some constitutional developments that caused conflict include the Emancipation Proclamation, three civil rights bills, and the reconstruction.
