    The colonists had endured much turmoil before the 1770s. Colonists had to fight the Native Americans and Spanish for their land. Furthermore, there was the French and Indian War in which the colonists joined forces for the first time to defeat the French and Native Americans for their land. It was during this time that the colonists learned that if they worked together, they were capable of achieving things on their own, without the help of the British. There is not one simple cause of the Revolutionary War but events that create a chain reaction. These events are as follows: the Stamp Act and taxation, colonial unity and resistance to this taxation, and Great Britain’s response to the colonial resistance.…

    Shays’ Rebellion can be considered a dispute with New England farmers and tradespersons that upset the new republic plunging the disconnected states to the brink of a civil war. The rebellion started in 1786 in Massachusetts and eventually spread into neighboring states finally crowning in a fruitless attack on a federal armory in Springfield. The rebellion began to wind down in 1787 most likely due to the election of a new governor that demonstrated a good example of local political conflict in the shadows post-revolution. Outlying factors that I believe played a role in the decline of the rebellion as well would be an economic upturn and the creation of…

    The book, Shays' Rebellion: The Making of an Agrarian Insurrection, is a historical account that provides an interesting perspective on the accounts of many struggling men, earning wages in the agricultural force, who were driven to form a rebellion against the government and the court system, because of a crisis of debt and credit that struck after the Revolutionary War in the years from1786 to 1787. The text as a whole provides a good analysis on the subject at hand and achieves its goal to the reader. The source would be helpful to those who already have an understanding about this period in history; however, because of the lack of a decent timeline, for those who are new to Shay’s Rebellion, the book may be hard to follow. There is good evidence provided in the text to support his ideas, and from my knowledge on the subject I agree with these ideas. Author Szatmary, takes the stance that Shay’s Rebellion was an ironic, three-stage occurrence that just so happened to be one of the crucial factors leading to the formation of the United States Constitution.…

    This reflected in the 1776 Pennsylvania State Constitution with an expansion of male franchise and civil liberties. Bouton posits that old and new thinking melded into an evolved perception of citizenship as “revolutionaries still considered the propertyless a possible threat.” However, the elite began to think that “giving the vote to ordinary folk was the only way to keep the wealthy in check.” By 1779, Bouton states that a growing number of Pennsylvanian elites began to shift position again, and question the level of democracy and “power” in the hands of the common Pennsylvanian.…

    When a family becomes a victim to severe debt, attitudes change, the family tends to grow apart, and the members must cope. This was common during the Great Depression in the 1930’s after the collapse of the stock market, and a plethora of families flooded to California in search of a promising future. Home to Tom Joad and his family, the deteriorating economy of the Great Depression depicts the changing attitudes of many families and how they adapted to this difficult time period. The work captures how many families like the Joads have to change to accommodate the financial shortage of the 1930s, and how they grow with this struggle. With that, John Steinbeck constructs The Grapes of Wrath to include a family that is still generous in the midst of many trials and tribulations. The Grapes of Wrath depicts how great struggle is juxtaposed with an immense appetite for wealth, and how this conflict elicits generosity.…

    I hold it, that a little rebellion, now and then, is a good thing, and as necessary in the political world as storms in the physical. - Thomas JeffersonPolitical rebellion takes place when the people of a country feel it is essential that a change in government is made.

    Disappointment marked his life since his childhood and consistent failure in his earlier life led him to become a cruel ruler. Adolf Hitler was a dictator of Germany and he focused his hatred in the Jewish community. He manipulated the Germans by promising them protection and firm leadership.
