It can be related to the Haitian Revolution because the masters of the slaves and political figures were scared to get overthrown by the slaves, they also treated them harshly, and they arrested Toussaint L'Ouverture who was the leader of the revolt and freed slaves. This illustrates the political condition that the Haitian slaves had to overcome. In the economic aspect it went tumbling down because of the weapons for the war effort.

He has plundered our seas, ravaged our Coasts, burnt our towns, and destroyed the lives of our people.

Teenage Declaration of Independence The Declaration of Independence was written to declare the United States’ independence from Britain and the reasoning for this declaration. In this activity, you imagine you are a teenager that is sick of being controlled unfairly by an adult (parent, boss, or dislike something so much etc.). Imagine you have reached the breaking point and decide you are going to declare your own independence from this person or thing by writing/typing your own fictitious declaration.
The writers of the Declaration of Independence appeal to pathos through the word choice in their list of the King’s wrongdoings. Phrases such as “swarms of Officers to harass our people”, “waging War against us”, “plundered our seas, ravaged our Coasts, burnt our towns, and destroyed the lives of our people”, “death, desolation, and tyranny”, and “Cruelty & perfidy scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages” use emotional language to passionately berate the King for the injustices
While the Spanish text focuses primarily on their virtues and successes, the Aztec writings emphasize the Spaniard’s destruction and cruelty. Both accounts of the events are comprised of biased viewpoints, emphasizing the importance of multiple perspectives. While the Spanish and the Aztecs both discuss Montezuma’s imprisonment, their recordings of his words and actions differ drastically. The Spanish describe Montezuma as generous, cheerful, and very content with confinement. They believed that Montezuma had offered his valuables freely.
The American Revolution was a result of the colonists unrest caused by their abhorrence towards their British Mother Country. For several centuries the colonies had been subject to rule by the English Crown and it’s Parliament. They no longer wanted to be controlled by a country an ocean away, and in turn sought independence. A huge factor in the start of the American Revolution was the French and Indian War that changed the age-old bond between the colonies and England. Decades of conflict followed, starting with the revolt as a result of the Stamp Act in 1765, leading to the eruption of war in 1775.
Violence Among Filipinos An ongoing theme in the compelling autobiography America is in the Heart by Carlos Bulosan is how Filipinos that immigrated to America in the early 1900’s drastically affected their personalities and attitudes. This was specifically shown in Carlos’s brothers, who one nearly stabbed Carlos. Though Carlos vows never to change in America, he too succumbs to this instinctive brutality when his frustration at the unfair circumstances that he can never seem to escape from in America is compounded by a personal tragedy. Carlos describes the underlying reasons of violence and hatred when he decides to start his life again in America and when he attempts to murder a white businessman that was violent toward him. Carlos Bulosan’s use of metaphors and reasoning that help justify his intriguing questions in his analysis of feelings toward his first violent act against the white society reflect how Filipino immigrants in America changed to become more violent and hateful as a result of racial fear and the realities of America.
Under him, the Cuban people were unhappy with Cuba. The government had profited from everything that went on in Cuba. But most importantly the Cuban government was unfair and discriminative against its own people.

Medical care, education and housing was inadequate and insufficient, people were taken and beaten by the military for insurrection or any sort of suspicion and numerous forms of bribery and corruption with government officials.
Apartheid was an institutionalized racially discriminatory system used by Afrikaners, the white descendants of Dutch colonizers, to oppress native South Africans and other people of color in the country. It was a system created by the all white National Party to give them control over the nation and as a result of their bigotry. The unfair climate it created led to local as well as international protest, all of which eventually led to negotiations between political parties representing people of color and the National Party in the 1990's. Negotiations resulted in the creation of a new constitution, the first free election, and a multiracial government. Context: Legislation: In 1948, the all white National Party gained control of the South African government and immediately enacted a system of racial oppression called apartheid [1].
The Mexican Revolution of 1910 was a chaotic time of class warfare, gruella battles, and presidential chaos, but three consecutive presidents set and maintained an atmosphere of instability and revoltion. Porfirio Díaz was an awful tyrant whose oligarchal reign first caused thoughts of revolution. Next, Franciso I. Madero tried to fix Díaz’s mistakes, but he found himself caught between two radical groups, and his struggles to strike a balance made his administration unstable. Finally, it was Victoriano Huerta whose Porfirian policies incensed the rebels so much that they rose up and caused massive civil war. The man who started it all was Porfirio Díaz.
