Haymarket Trail And Zasulich's Trial
All in all the Haymarket trail and Zasulich’s trial were supposed to serve as an example to revolutionary groups. However the verdict of Zasulich was much different than the verdict of the eight men accused of throwing the bomb. Although, there were many witnesses that saw Zasulich shooting Trepov she was found not guilty. On the other hand they never found out who was guilty of throwing the Haymarket bomb. However, eight men were convicted based on the mere fact that they were anarchist leaders or associated with the anarchist

    Haymarket Anarchists Chapter Summary

    The Haymarket bombing occurred on May 4, 1886. The leaders of the labor movement in Chicago called for a public meeting in Haymarket Square after police had shot and killed two workers at the McCormick Reaper Works plant on May 3rd. In The Trial of the Haymarket Anarchists: Terrorism and Justice in the Gilded Age Timothy Messer-Kruse uncovers the truth about the Haymarket bombing and the trial that followed. He walks his readers through the bombing, the investigation, the trial, the execution, and the pardon. In preparation for this book, he studied the complete original transcript of the trial, instead of solely depending on the Abstract of Record and other historian’s interpretations, as most of his predecessors had done. In doing so he discovered and effectively proved that contemporary understandings about this historical event are utterly flawed.…

Witnesses reported that both of these men were Italian’s.

    Bartolomeo Vanzetti Case

    The murder case of Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzetti is one of the most discriminatory and controversial trials to prevail throughout the history of Massachusetts’ courts. On July 14th, 1921, Sacco and Vanzetti were wrongfully found guilty of first degree murder; not because there was ample evidence suggesting they were guilty, but because of their political beliefs. When Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzetti were arrested in 1920 (“The Sacco & Vanzetti Trial: A Chronology” p.2) many nations were undergoing major political changes and how the government and the people reacted to these changes affected Sacco and Vanzetti’s case. Americans feared people with extreme political views in their country, and believed that all radicals were plotting…

    Summary: Boston Tea Party Was Act Of Terrorism

    A local militia, believed to be a terrorist organization, attacked the property of private citizens today at our nation’s busiest port. Although no one was injured in the attack, a large quantity of merchandise, considered to be valuable to its owners and loathsome to the perpetrators, was destroyed. The terrorists, dressed in disguise and apparently intoxicated, were able to escape into the night with the help of local citizens who harbor these fugitives and conceal their identities from the authorities. It is believed that the terrorist attack was a response to the policies enacted by the occupying country’s government. Even stronger policies are anticipated by the local citizens." ("Boston Tea Party Was Act of Terrorism?").…

    John Adams Boston Massacre Trial

    John Adams was the only lawyer in Boston to take on the defense case of the British troops for the Boston Massacre. Adams agrees to take on the case, despite its unpopularity, because he believes that all men were entitled to a fair trial and deserved equal justice. He also has a position in Boston’s legislature as motivation, which is not shown in the film. We don’t get to see the rest of the defense team in the docudrama either; Josiah Quincy is left out. All accused men receive their own individual trial. All but two soldiers are acquitted; Hugh Montgomery and Matthew Kilroy are charged with manslaughter. Adams wins the case for his client and is elected to a higher position in the Massachusetts House of Representatives.…

    Sacco and Vanzetti

    It all started with a robbery in South Braintree, Massachusetts, on April 15, 1920. The recent Bolshevik revolution in Russia scared many Americans. There came a case of two Italian immigrants, Sacco and Vanzetti. Who were arrested for an armed robbery in South Braintree, Massachusetts, in which a guard and a paymaster were killed. They were found guilty and sentenced to death in the electric chair. The newly formed American Civil Liberties Union and labor organizations publicized the fact that there was no hard evidence against the two immigrants. The Judge at their trial was openly prejudiced against the Italians. Sacco and Vanzetti admitted to being radicals in their political beliefs but proclaimed their innocence of the crime. The case received worldwide attention. “But what good is the evidence and what good is the argument? They are determined to kill us regardless of evidence, of law, of decency, of everything. If they give us a delay tonight, it will only mean they will kill us next week. Let us…

    Alger Hiss And Rosenberg Trial Essay

    The Hiss and Rosenberg trials were very politically convenient for the federal government. The trials were politically convenient because the federal government finally provided proof that there was something to fear and that “communist infiltration” and “espionage” was real. During the time there was a "culture war" going on in America because of the current “Cold War”. Throughout the “culture war” fear of treason, terror, and espionage threats was one of the ways that the government supported “anti-communist” feelings. Anti-communism became evident throughout the nation with the Hiss and Rosenberg trials, the main causes of the hysteria. This hysteria in history can be compared to the hysteria happening today known as “anti-terrorism”.…

She was told by officials that she was being charged with the murder of Kirov and when she told told them she was never in Leningrad they responded by saying to her, “it was your accomplices who killed him, and that makes you morally and criminally responsibly”.

    More Democratic Society

    The Zenger Case contributed to a more democratic society with the introduction of freedom of press. Newspapers ran the risk of being jailed for offending a political authority. When Zenger was brought for trial in 1735, his lawyer argued that what he printed was true of the governor of New York. The jury voted in Zenger’s favor and newspapers were further encouraged to speak up and write to truth. The case did not guarantee complete freedom of press but it was the event that sparked the interest.…

    communist party of india

    During the 1920s and beginning of 1930s the party was badly organised, and in practice there were several communist groups working with limited national coordination. The British colonial authorities had banned all communist activity, which made the task of building a united party very difficult. Between 1921 and 1924 there were three conspiracy trials against the communist movement; First Peshawar Conspiracy Case, Moscow Conspiracy Case and the Cawnpore Bolshevik Conspiracy Case. In the first three cases, Russian-trained muhajir communists were put on trial. However, the Cawnpore trial had more political impact. On 17 March 1924, M.N. Roy, S.A. Dange, Muzaffar Ahmed, Nalini Gupta, Shaukat Usmani, Singaravelu Chettiar, Ghulam Hussain and R.C. Sharma were charged, in Cawnpore (now spelt Kanpur) Bolshevik Conspiracy case. The specific charge was that they as communists were…
