    Was he truly a villain? Perhaps not when considering the state of the colony at the time, it needed funding. There was no better opportunity than taking from the gold miners. Thus, the Gold License was born from the desperation. While the action was logical, it was by absolutely no means justified. The price of a single one month licence that equalled to a week’s wages, far more than what was okay for someone such as a digger that had left his job to search for gold. Furthermore they were in immense trouble if their plot of land didn’t have enough gold to cover the cost of the licence and other things such as basic necessities, or providing for the…

    The mistreatment of indigenous people started when the European’s took over Australia, and escalated over time. They were considered to be second class citizens. By the time of federation, in 1901, aboriginal people were not included in the constitution or the census and were excluded from society which was known as protectionism. The white Australians believed that they were helping the Aborigines by using the protection policies. But in reality these policies isolated them from their families, traditional land and removed them from their natural heritage and culture. The Aborigines were taught to live like the white Australians so the could assimilate into the white society and were often trained to be slaves for White People. Charles Perkins was an aborigine who like many was taken from his family and land. He was however treated well compared to what most Indigenous…

    The Eureka Stockade is said to be one of the main events of Australian History. On Sunday the 3rd of December 1854, 22 diggers and 5 troops were killed in a battle lasting only 20 minutes known as the Eureka Stockade. The main causes of this battle was due to the gold diggers opposing the Governments miners licenses, which was an easy way for the Government to make money on Gold via taxes. The death of James Scobie a Scottish Gold digger also contributed to the Eureka Stockade due to the lack of evidence against his murderers. The miners felt that justice had not been served. The short term results were based around Peter Laylor and his involvement in the battle. The long term results were all about the freedom of everyday people and a more democratic Australia.…

    Early Mining in Colorado

    The actual work of a miner during that time was dangerous, filthy, exhausting, and managers would demand that they work hours exceeding the labor laws. The death rate, in Colorado specifically, was very high. Conditions away from the mine were terrible as well- inadequate housing, and workers were paid with “scrip”, which was only valid at designated stores, owned by their employers. The wages they earned went right back into the owners’ pockets. The workers were unable to send money to family, save money, or invest any money. They were essentially working just to stay alive, and they finally started revolting against such treatment around 1885.…
