The reasons why the colonists wrote the Declaration of Independence are innumerable. Before the Declaration of Independence, cutting off their trade with all parts of the world except Britain was accepted and so was the imposing of taxes on them without their consent. Transporting them beyond seas to be tried for pretended offenses and depriving them in many cases was also an action done before the Declaration of Independence. Not to mention, quartering a large body of troops among the colonist. In effect, the above reasons led colonists to write the Declaration of Independence.
Although it was fleeting, the fabricated "popish plot" (1678-1681) conspiracy had immediate social, political, and religious consequences for English society in the late seventeenth century. Invented by Titus Oates, this far-fetched story of a large-scale Catholic conspiracy to assassinate King Charles II and replace him with his brother James created widespread anti-Catholic hysteria among English Protestants and non-conformists at the lowest and highest levels of society. By the time the plot was proved a fiction in 1681, many English Catholics, especially Jesuits, had been harassed; some Catholics were persecuted, others were jailed, and some two dozen innocent men had already been executed. The anti-Catholic hysteria manifested itself socially, politically, and religiously in a variety of ways. Although its effects reached as far as Ireland (where some Irish Catholics such as Oliver Plunkett were executed), the popish plot had the greatest impact around London, which was England's largest city.
During Elizabeth’s reign as the Queen of England, she faced numerous obstacles and she attempted to conquer these obstacles. Primarily, Queen Elizabeth faced countless struggles in uniting a religiously divided England. Also, she dealt with the societal pressure to marry another political figure and she faced great dangers from people who tried to remove her from the throne. England was a troubled nation under Mary’s five year rule. The country faced religious struggles between Catholics and Protestants.
It was a period of intense rebellions such as the Wyatt’s rebellion, or factional fighting in court for example; Edward’s court was ridden with the visions of the dukes of Northumberland (John Dudley) and Somerset (Edward Seymour). But perhaps the most fundamental division of the mid Tudor crisis was thrown up by the reformation of the church and Mary’s brutal Counter Reformation. This leads me on to talk about one of the largest perceived problems at the start of Elizabeth’s reign. Henry VIII reigned against the background of the dramatic upheaval of the English church known as the Reformation. This is when the authority of the Roman Catholic Church led by the pope was rejected by those known as Protestants.
One of their major goals was to disrupt and destroy the South Vietnamese government. Orders were actually given to the invaders to cause maximum disruption to the government to create crisis by killing military and administrative personnel. This reason alone would do some serious damage to the government but another tactic was to kill for “…terrorism and warning.” By killing government officials and private citizens it scared the citizens of not just Hue but all over the area into compliance with the National Liberation Front. The communists also wanted to annihilate Christians for political reasons. The communists always tried to suppress religions anyway possible and because of Ngo Dinh Diem being Catholic and in charge of South Vietnam at the start of the resistance to the North.
The act of violence that brought about this destruction results the mob mentality that goes along with the nature of mass protests. The idea of
Sitting at the top are those that have been unemployed for 15 weeks averaging about 8.5 million unemployed. Below them are those that have been unemployed 27 weeks and over averaging about 6.3 million unemployed. Why are there more unemployed at 15 weeks than 27 weeks? This may be the fact that people are finding jobs before they hit the 27 week mark. However, we may see a change in this if the economy stays as it is because all the people in that 15 week unemployment range are on their way to the 27 week unemployment range if a job cannot be found.
In that same year the average yearly income for was $750! Present day standards for the yearly average income are 18,500. Henry Ford now would be making around 345 million. The disparity in wealth grew largely throughout 1920 .the number of millionaires increased from 21 in 1920 to close to 15,00 in 1929 . The average disposable Income rose 9% from 1920 to 1929, while the top 1% enjoyed a stupendous 75% increase of disposable income.
However, Joshua Project Statistics show that 5% or less are professing Christians, and evangelicals are between 0.01% and 2% or less professing Christians.30 Challenges Islam has been deeply entrenched in the minds of virtually all the Hausa people since the 19th century and as a result, “Muslim beliefs as well as social pressures and persecution make it difficult for a Hausa person to leave Islam. The current political polarization between Muslims and Christians in Nigeria also make it difficult to accept Christ.”31 Operation World also report that “There is considerable opposition and trials in the three northern regions, often including bloody violent attacks.”32 As a result of this tension in the Hausa states, it is very challenging to preach the gospel and even profess faith in Christ. Further, the illiteracy rate among the Hausa people also pose a major challenge in communicating the gospel to them; only about 10% of the Hausa population are
"The State's university system, once the envy of the nation, has fallen in quality combined with increased demands for admission by an ever-growing number of applicants," says the CAPS report. In the schools, from kindergarten through twelfth grade, enrollments rose from 4.8 million in 1990-91 to almost 6 million ten years later. By 2000, "there were more Hispanics than other children enrolled in the State's schools." California is currently spending $6,837 per student, "so more than $16 billion was spent last year on students whose native language was other than English." California has been so mismanaged by its governors and legislature that it is billions in debt.
