But there are other courses of the break out of the armed conflict not just polices of the British Government that are the colonies as not all of the polices where unreasonable. The reaction of the Americans to the British was also could be a reason for the outbreak. Also some events affected the break out too. In 1763 Britain started introducing some rigorous policy’s, that where made change in the colonies and this was change that the colonies didn’t really want... This was because for year they where use to being on their own and Britain taking no interest in what they do.
Looking first at the anonymous account, it is very descriptive of the events both leading up to the massacre and the massacre itself. The author has many accounts from what is believed to be the inhabitants of Boston at the time of the event and the author itself can be reasoned to be a journalist of some sort. Being a civilian of Boston, it is apparent that the author, was very irritated about the presence of the British troops stating that their being there was contrary to the people inclination, spirit of Magna Carta, and the Bill of Rights (Anonymous). It was believed that the soldiers were causing unnecessary trouble to the town and were both disrespectful and cruel to the people in return causing a negative attitude adopted towards them. In this case, the author considered the soldiers were to blame for the instigation of the massacre.
The purpose of these acts was to punish the colonist for their unruly behavior. These acts consisted of 5 new acts; Boston Port Act, Quebec Act, Quartering Act, Administration of justice act and Massachusetts Government Act. The Boston Port Act closed the harbor of Boston until the damages were repaid. The quartering act made it legal to house British troops in the houses of colonists. The Massachusetts government act deliberately changed the governing style of the colony by bringing it DIRECTLY under British control.
The Sons Of Liberty The Boston Tea Party in 1773, I believe acted as an early terrorist action and not a patriotic action. This act was treacherous and an unlawful thing to do. If i was a british officer the punishment for this act would be worthy of death. Even though the Committees of Correspondence were upset with the taxing on tea it still gave them no right to dump 342 chests of it into the Boston Harbor, and by doing this it would only make the British even angrier. In 1774 the Coercive Act was passed and four of the acts had to do with the Boston Tea Party.“ The Tea Party led to the Coercive Act by Parliament, virtually establishing martial law in Massachusetts, dissolving the colonial government, closing the port in Boston, and sending in troops.”(pg 67) The British parliament hoped that the actions they took would result reversing the trend of the colonies terrorist actions that had begun in 1765 with the Stamp Act, but as you can see by the new law they didn’t get much more freedom.
In the ensuing months, mobs boarded East India Company tea ships in New York and Annapolis, preventing the landing of any tea. Colonists up and down the coast of North America continued to boycott East India Company tea. The Boston Tea Party had created a crisis between the colonists and Parliament. British officials condemned the action as vandalism and passed the Coercive Acts (1774), which curtailed self-government in Massachusetts and closed Boston's port until the colony paid for the tea. These harsh measures generated support and sympathy for the Boston radicals throughout the colonies.
However, the many taxes passed by the British Parliament hindered their progress, upsetting the colonists. One of the first significant taxes was the Sugar Act of 1763, enacted by the british parliament, which added a tax to sugar bought by the colonists. This tax enraged the colonists because they enjoyed the use of sugar and they didn’t want to have to pay more for it. The colonists, in response, began to smuggle sugar and other goods. The british, in response to the smuggling, set up a court without a jury present and the presumption was that the colonists were guilty.
The Glorious Revolution was the dethroning of the unpopular Catholic James II and enthroning Protestant rulers William III and Mary. When the people of New England heard of this, they rose against their royal leaders and tried to get a sense of equality in their colonies. 29. The result of the rebellion in New England was upsetting in that royal governors did eventually restore semblance and order lead by the mother country. There was even more administrative control in the colonies due to Charles II's appointed English officials which hired their friends of whom knew little and did not care about American affairs.
Twelve people dead and fifty-eight wounded at the Century movie theater in Aurora this weekend for the finale to Christopher Nolan’s Batman trilogy. Revenge is easily understood when an incident such as the Aurora movie theater massacre occurs. Emotions from people are boiling and rampant. Revenge is one action from emotions that might be considered by family, friends, and certain political activist groups around the nation. As a result of James Holmes’s actions victims are hurting because of his violence, those victims dead or alive were innocent to this mans crimes and the primary suspect remains alive.
A breakdown in parliament then occurred because Charles realized the parliamentary attack on Buckingham was increasing so in 1625 dissolved his first Parliament in order to protect his close companion. The close relationship of Charles and The Duke of Buckingham enabled Buckingham to have security and potential access to more than Charles realised. The Cadiz Expedition is a prime example of Buckingham failures. Both Charles and Buckingham decided to attack one of Spain’s main ports to destroy as many of the Spanish fleet as possible. (Troops were raised but mostly untrained).
Walter Staples HIST-1301-171 February 14, 2012 Paul Revere A simple definition of the word propaganda is to manipulate the public opinion in a biased or misleading way, usually to promote a political cause or point of view. According to Paul Revere’s painting of the Boston Massacre, the actual event in 1770 was a slaughter, with Americans having no ability to defend themselves. The British appear to have simply fired on the crowd without provocation and in an orderly fashion. They are portrayed to be tyrannical monsters that would kill without reason. In reports from the trial of the eight soldiers however, we learn that the massacre was chaos.
