Thomas Cooper clearly believed that any violence would undermine the cause. However from this source we can clearly identify a key weakness of the Chartist movement. This is the fact that Thomas Cooper says that the violence that day was at Longton, Lancashire. This shows a key reason for the chartist downfall, that being its simple lack of National Unity and organisation. The uprising was only located in Longton, no where else in the country much like the Newport Riots before it.
The English-Canadians sought after full conscription like Britain and the United States, while the French-Canadians still did not want any form of conscription. The countries unity was slowly crumbling but still Mackenzie King did not institute conscription. He felt there had to be other ways to solve the emerging problems then conscription. (Cruxton and Wilson, 263). In 1917, Borden felt the lack of troops was so awful that there was no choice but conscription.
I was bisecting the large territory he charted for Smith and England nearly a decade before the Pilgrim’s reached Plymouth. I had departed my voyage exactly at the site of a Monacan encampment. And I aspired, as once did he, to reach Jamestown. So I mentally dedicated my journey to the spirit of
Emerson actually wrote Concord Hymn as a leaflet on the occasion of the dedication of the Obelisk, a battle monument in Concord, Massachusetts. The monument commemorates the men who gave their lives at the Battle of Lexington and Concord on April 19, 1775, the first battle of the American Revolution. Emerson’s grandfather was a man who personally fought in this battle. Their house was called The Old Manse, which is next to the bridge where Emerson’s father fought. Emerson is known to have written the hymn while he was living there.
Rachel Kay How accurate is it to say Frederick William IV was responsible for the failure of the Frankfurt Parliament? The Frankfurt Parliament was established to create freedom of press, German citizenship for all, fair taxation, equality of political rights and to create a unified Germany. However, countries like Austria greatly opposed it. Frederick William IV could be seen as responsible for the failure of the Frankfurt Parliament because he refused to accept any form of leadership and made it clear he distrusted the ‘gentlemen of Frankfurt’. However, many other factors played a role in the demise of the Parliament such as the fact that they were ill-organised, the lack of popular support and their inability to enforce decisions.
Also because of Charles' arrogance he treated the Scottish Clans as total inferiors and took no notice of their customs. The army would of worked better as three individual guerilla units to invade the
This lack of leadership at the highest level would inevitably cause disturbances to many facets of society; quarrels between nobility were not regulated or controlled, ownership of lands (abroad as well as England) was not properly accounted for. Henry had already laid the seeds for violence to grow; and in doing so he had made the very foundation of the monarchy unstable. In 1450 Cades rebellion had just ended, the first demonstration of mass public opinion channelled through violence for many a year. These events had not only empowered the common people, but had also given them belief in the fact they could influence the running of their country. The common people were not to be underestimated, their political awareness had grown substantially and they had formulated clear and concise thoughts.

The only difference since 1999 is that England has seen an increase in migration due to joining the EU, Scotland believe that this is ruining the Scottish culture. The power of a separate government would allow Scotland to leave the EU as most of the migration is from England meaning they can restore their Scottish culture. The issue that is caused is the fact that their culture is at risk and that they believe their people are worse off due a non-separate government. This causes pressure on England to allow them to leave but England and the remaining of the UK see Scotland as a key asset to the United Kingdom. Another reason that causes separatists pressures are differences in religion, culture or language to surrounding areas, for example Basque.
