Both of these rebellions depend on surprising the white owners that were not expecting any rebellion from their slaves. They were really important because it help the other slaves to realize that if they decide to work together, they could fight for their freedom.

    The American Anti-Slavery Society was an abolitionist group that fought to end slavery in America. The Society was started in 1833 by William Lloyd Garrison. This took place two years after the Nat Turner Slave Rebellion and Southerners wanted to increase restrictions on slavery. The Society was a response to the increased restrictions. The society grew to around 250,000 members and had over 1000 local charters. Members included people like Susan B. Anthony and Fredrick Douglas. The south was not happy with the growth of the society because they feared it foreshadowed Congress ending slavery. In 1839, the society spilt into two groups, one radical, anti-organized religious, and feminist and the other group was conservative, religious, and anti-feminist.…

    One of the reason for the Stono Slave Rebellion was political conditions. In the late sixteenth century to the middle of seventeenth century, there was war between the Spain and Britain. The Spanish people controlled Florida whiles the British controlled the rest of the eastern coast. The Spanish caused unrest in the British colonies by giving a decree that any slave who escapes to Florida would be free, should be given fire arm, and would be give a land. This was the Spanish way of unsettling the political structures of the British colonies (Hoffer 54). This gave some sought of hope and opportunity to be free from the harsh and deplorable conditions that the British have put them through. The Spanish people made Florida pleasant to the slaves.…

    To some extent the rebellion of the Northern Earls was the most significant rebellion in the Tudor period because they had proven to be a serious threat as the rebellion was lead by two of the leading families, Northumberland and Westmoreland. But despite this, I don’t think it was the most significant rebellion because if we put the fact they wanted to release Mary Queen of Scots, there was no purpose to the rebellion because there was no popular enthusiasm to replace Elizabeth with a foreigner or restore the Pope, and also the Earls (Northumberland and Westmoreland) were cowards to a point because as soon as they heard rumours that the queen had summoned massive forces for them, they turned around and headed back north instead of facing them. In my personal opinion, I think that the Pilgrimage of Grace was the most significant because it showed how to raise a large scale rising in a small period of time and it also showed the divided opinions of the people, as there were a variety of reasons; Religion, Political, Social and Economical.…

    One major social cause that led to the Civil was slavery. The North wanted to abolish slavery, but the South opposed to abolishing slavery. The North did not need slaves because there economy is made up of factories, and manufactured products. The South depended on slaves to work on plantations. During the Civil war, slave owners treated their slaves like property. The slaves were treated like property because slave owners brought them from slave auctions. Slaves were considered not citizens. Many abolitionists and former slaves gave speeches and wrote books to go against slavery. They told stories to people in the North and in Europe. Some of the most famous abolitionist was Frederick Douglass, Solomon Northup’s, and Harriet Beecher Stowe.

    The African-American folklore stories are entertainment but also have a teaching element and are similar to the Native American stories read earlier this semester. The Brer Rabbit stories are classic trickster tales much like the Native American stories. Brer Rabbit in these stories would be comparable to the coyote of Native American trickster tales. Brer Rabbit is a smaller and less intimidating animal than his fellow characters Brer Fox and Brer Bear. Brer Rabbit is a trickster figure that is being oppressed but uses his smarts and wit to outmatch his stronger opponents. Brer Rabbit is an underdog character and physically weaker than the Brer Fox or Brer Bear characters. Brer Rabbit relies on his intelligence rather than physical skill to…

    Opening 5 of “The Rabbits” strongly depicts the important issues of industrialisation and loss of culture due to colonisation, affecting not only the people but also the land. The salient image in this opening is the huge, golden framed portrait in the centre of the opening drawing the responder to the centre of the page. The portrait conveying the rabbits’ master plan and future for the numbats land. The image glowing of gold’s sets a picturesque and perfect scene, also suggesting the power, wealth and royalty of the rabbits. This ‘master plan’ by the rabbits highlights the industrialisation and complete takeover, this evoking emotion and empathy towards the numbats in the responder as it signifies the control and destruction of their land, the loss of tradition and change of culture. The motif of the red…

    With the Natives being pushed out of their homeland, and Slaves getting forced to do many things or being punished, both groups figured out ways to act and show how they felt. Looking at both how slaves and natives were treated by the English, and how they responded and how they used agency gives historians more information of how people really lived and interacted during this time. In history, if people just looked at one perspective during the time they would not get the full sense of what we going on, and it would be hard to see causes and effects of big events that happened in history. By looking at documents from Natives and Slaves, and from Colonist we get to see the big picture of what was really going on between these groups. Also, it helps to see that the Natives and Slave did not just sit around but actually tried to get freedom and land that they deserved. Natives and Slaves used many forms of agency to try to defeat the Colonist. By doing so they changed the perspective of some Colonist and they found ways to hurt colonist to put them in debt and made it hard to live in the New…
