    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.…

    John Xue AP US History 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.…

It started when King William III of England allied himself with the League of Augsburg; certain German states, Spain, Sweden, Austria, and the Netherlands,; to oppose French expansion. In America, King William¡¯s War, or otherwise called The War of the Grand Alliance or the War of the League of Augsburg, was fought between the English and its Indian allies and the French and its Indian allies. The first major conflict occurred on February 9, 1690 when the French and Indian forces from Montreal attacked and burned Schenectady, New York. The English responded by the seizure of Port Royal on May 11, 1690. However, it was recaptured a year later by the French. The city of Quebec was also attacked by English forces in their first major military operation of King William's War, but they were obstructed by the French troops.

    The Indians organized the Pueblo Revolt because they felt that they were being mistreated by the Spanish, they were given injuries by Francisco Xavier and Alonso Garcia and from some other sargentos, because they were being beat by them and they were also relieved of the possessions they had and also made them work with no form of compensation. Another action that the Indians made was to burn the churches and images and whatever was in them and they shouted that they had done this to claim that their god was no more and god’s mother was no more either and now only the Indian’s god…

    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…

    Pueblo Revolt of 1680

    Having briefly introduced the reasoning behind the Pueblo Revolt of 1680, I believe it is first important to provide a background on the lifestyle of the Pueblo people before Spanish conquest occurred. In order to gain a more concise perspective of this historical event, one must first understand who the Pueblo people were and what their society consisted of. During the year 1540 A.D., the Pueblo Indians were densely populated in large plaza-orientated villages throughout the state of New Mexico. The majority of these villages often surrounded valley bottoms because these areas proved to be more fertile for sustaining life. During this point in time, the Pueblo people often gathered in underground areas known as kivas, and the total Pueblo population consisted of 30 to 40 thousand people. In these underground areas, the Pueblo Indians performed various ceremonial activities, most of which, were focused on their religious practices. The Pueblo Indians valued their religious beliefs very highly and because of this, they spent a lot of time performing various ceremonial rituals.…

    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 Wealth of Nations: In this book, he established his political argument against mercantilism. Mercantilism is the economic theory that trade generates wealth and is stimulated by the accumulation of profitable balances, which a government should encourage by means of protectionism. An essential part of the argument was for new political arrangements to be established. He argued that the basic unit for social analysis should be the nation, not the state. In this and other works, he expounded upon how rational self-interest and competition can lead to economic prosperity.…
