    The Great Pueblo revolt of 1680 all started with the droughts of 1660 when the Southwest had severe drought that brought famine and disease. During this, hungry Apaches who couldn't find food on plains attacked the pueblos. This angered the people on the pueblos, but there new leader Pope', a mysterious medicine doctor, tried to keep the Indian beliefs around and resisted the Christian religion. The Spaniards hated this, so they captured his older brother. This enraged Pope' against the Spaniards so he held meetings to tell everybody that the Spaniards must leave. The Spaniards found out about this and arrested Pope, publicly flogged him and released him back to the pueblos. When he was captured, the pueblo people set fires in the Indian villages in New Mexico. To take care of the fires, the Spaniards sent troops to halt the ritual of setting the fires by pueblo people, and they arrested all of the medicine doctors, killing several of them. The people believed that the doctors protected them from evil, so all of the pueblo towns wanted to unite against the Spaniards. The group from the pueblos went to the governor of Santa Fe and told him that if the doctors that were imprisoned weren't released by sundown, all of the Spaniards in New Mexico would be killed. They released the prisoners because the Indians outnumber the Spaniards by a huge amount.…

    In the 1680s, the Pueblo Indians revolted against their Spanish rulers. This revolt was not only one of the most successful revolts but it also plays a number of significant roles in American History. There are many things that caused this revolt, the first being the forced labor and cruel treatment done to the Indians by the Spanish. The second being that the Spanish forced the Pueblo Indians to convert their religion to Catholicism. Both of these things ultimately lead up to what we know today as the Pueblo…

    Chavez proposes that Pueblos, that were mixed blooded, were trying to act against to achieve “power and revenge” (Chavez, 81). Although, Garner suggests that “drought, famine, and Apache raids of the 1670s” (immediate events) were the main causes of the revolt instead of focusing on religion (Garner, 55). These events are just adding to the breaking point of the weak relationship between the Spaniards and Pueblo people. Garner notes that cultural and religious intolerance were factors, but insists that these “immediate events” are the main causes that led to the revolt. The pueblo Indians were promised to receive earnings such as crops, advanced technology and military protection in return from working for “Spanish encomenderos.” The Pueblos soon stopped receiving these benefits causing setbacks and in turn making the Pueblo people feel the need to revolt against the Spaniards. For example, there was a loss of military protection during the apache raids. The mixture of both political and environmental factors led to a failure to uphold the implied contract between the pueblos and the…

    The American Revolution was sparked by a myriad of causes. These causes in themselves could not have sparked such a massive rebellion in the nation, but as the problems of the colonies cumulated, their collective impact spilt over and the American Revolution ensued. Many say that this war could have been easily avoided and was poorly handled by both sides, British and American; but as one will see, the frame of thought of the colonists was poorly suited to accept British measures which sought to "overstep" it's power in the Americas. Because of this mindset, colonists developed a deep resentment of British rule and policies; and as events culminated, there was no means to avoid revolution and no way to turn back.…

    During the American Revolution in the 1770s, African Americans soldiers participated in valor. Some were fighting for the Britain colonialists while others were fighting for American patriots in their struggle for independence. The slaves fought alongside their masters so that they could get human rights and freedoms enjoyed by other Americans. During this time, slavery was at peak, and most African Americans were under servitude and gross abuse of their rights (Matthews 369). Slaves imported from Africa and other parts of the world were sold to slave masters especially in the North. When the revolutionary war ended, most soldiers who participated in the war for both sides won their freedom. There is a rich history on the role of slaves in the…
