Two specific rebellions are Bacon’s Rebellion, which occurred in 1676, and the Stono Rebellion, which occurred in 1739. These two rebellions were caused by pent up anger and tension between slaves and indentured servants and white people. Both Bacon’s Rebellion and the Stono Rebellion were the cause of Native American and Slave tensions.…

    King George The First Charge Analysis

    The colonists have 3 main charges on King George the 3rd. The first charge is the Quartering Act, that wasn’t fair to the colonists. They had to house the soldiers that they hated with despair! The second charge was “Taxation Without Representation.” The colonists had no idea they were going to be taxed. The King just gave them the taxes without any notice. The last charge was The Boston Tea Party. Samuel Adams and the Sons Of Liberty boarded three ships and threw 342 chests of tea overboard! This pulled us even closer to war.…

    Bacon's Rebellion: The Regulatory Movement In North Carolina

    It was a rebellion against corrupt officials. One could argue that it was the predecessor to the American Revolutionary War. The North Carolina county officials were cruel and corrupted. They were very governed their people in tyranny. Many officials of different counties banded with each other to form a united front in extorting money and imposing harsh taxes for their own personal gain. The colonial governor failed to act accordingly to stop the unjust actions of the officials because it was afraid that it would cost him the endorsements of the said officials. Culpepper's Rebellion in the Carolinas was also a political revolt. The current governor of Carolina, John Jenkins, was very weak minded and so, Thomas Miller, a customs official, established the "Proprietary Party" of what would be today's North Carolina, and named himself governor, replacing Jenkins. To combat Miller and his proprietary party's takeover of the colony, John Culpepper took it upon himself to establish the "Anti-Proprietary" party. Miller was captured but he eventually escaped and filed a suit against Culpepper in England. Culpepper was tried for treason but was later acquitted when evidence showed that Miller violated the charter by proclaiming his party and himself as…

    Red White And Black Chapter 5 Summary

    Red, White, and Black, Chapter 5, by Gary B. Nash talks about many different wars, rebellions, and colonization's that go on with the coastal societies in the 1600s. I learned that in Metacom’s war “some of the coastal tribes were prepared to risk extinction rather than become a colonized and culturally imperialized people”(Nash 110). This interested me by the way they stood up for what they wanted and would not give up even if it costed their…

    King Philip's War: the Unavoidable Conflict

    War between the Indians and the Colonists was unavoidable from the very moment the Pilgrims first set foot on what was to eventually become Massachusetts in 1620. As more and more settlers began arriving over the years, tension between the two began to steadily rise. The settler 's insatiable hunger for land and their increasing mistreatment of the Indians began to break down an already somewhat fragile alliance between the two. The Indians were quickly losing land and their way of life as well to these new settlers and some of them believed the only way to stop this was to go on the offensive and push back them back. The result of this was a short fought war known as King Philip 's War. Though it only lasted a little over a year, it was an exceptionally brutal war that took a huge toll life wise and had a lasting impact on both the English and the Indians for many years to come.…

    King Philip's War and the Pueblo Revolt

    Despite being separated by an entire continent, King Phillip’s War and The Pueblo Revolt paralleled each other in their causes, courses, and consequences. In New England, King Philip’s War was a conflict between the Wampanoag Indians and the English settlers of the Plymouth Colony from1675 to 1677. Far, far away in what is now New Mexico, the Pueblo Revolt was an uprising of Pueblo Indians against the Spanish settlers in the colony of Santa Fe de Nuevo México in 1680. Their similarities explain much about the relationships between Native Americans and European colonists at the time.…

    Massachusetts Research

    Massachusetts was first colonized by principally English Europeans in the early 17th century, and became the Commonwealth of Massachusetts in the 18th century. Prior to English colonization of the area, it was inhabited by a variety of mainly Algonquian-speaking indigenous tribes. The first permanent English settlement was established in 1620 with the founding of Plymouth Colony by the Pilgrims who sailed on the Mayflower. A second, shorter-lasting colony, was established near Plymouth in 1622 at Wessagusset, now Weymouth. A large Puritan migration begun in 1630 established the Massachusetts Bay Colony and Boston, and spawned the settlement of other New England colonies. Friction with the natives grew with the population, erupting in the Pequot War of the mid-1630s and King Philip's War in the 1670s. The colonies were religiously conservative, and Massachusetts Bay authorities in particular repeatedly deported, cast out, and even executed people with views that did not accord with their narrow Puritan views. The Massachusetts Bay Colony frequently clashed with political opponents in England, including several kings, over its religious intolerance and the status of its charter. Businessmen established wide-ranging trade links, sending ships to the West Indies and Europe, and sometimes shipping goods in violation of the Navigation Acts. These political and trade issues led to the revocation of the Massachusetts charter in 1684.…

    Domination of North America

    King William's War, which occurred from between 1689 to 1697, was the first of a series of colonial conflicts between France and England for supremacy in North America. It started when King William III of England allied himself with the League of Augsburg; certain German states, Spain, Sweden, Austria, and the Netherlands,; to oppose French expansion. In America, King William¡¯s War, or otherwise called The War of the Grand Alliance or the War of the League of Augsburg, was fought between the English and its Indian allies and the French and its Indian allies. The first major conflict occurred on February 9, 1690 when the French and Indian forces from Montreal attacked and burned Schenectady, New York. The English responded by the seizure of Port Royal on May 11, 1690. However, it was recaptured a year later by the French. The city of Quebec was also attacked by English forces in their first major military operation of King William's War, but they were obstructed by the French troops. The war ceased in a stalemate and officially ended with the Treaty of Ryswick, which ended the fighting in America and Europe, and returned all colonial possessions to their prewar status.…

    What Are The Causes Of The American Revolution

    During the following period protests by colonists also known as Patriots continued to increase rapidly. With the Boston Tea Party in 1773 Patriots demolished a load of taxed tea from the East India Company. The British returned what they believed to be the belligerence of the colonists by decreeing laws known as The Coercive Acts on Massachusetts in 1774 until the tea had been paid for. In 1774 the Patriots set up their own form of government to better their independence effort against Great Britain while other colonists known as Loyalists wanted to remain subjects of the British Crown. Slaves and free blacks fought for the Continental’s and for the British during the Revolutionary War. At Monmouth, African Americans faced each other; this wasn’t an important battle…

    The maccabean revolt

    During much of the time between the Old and New Testaments, the land of Israel was under the rulership of the Greek empire (see Ancient Empires - Greece and Daniel's Statue), either by Alexander the Great himself (see Alexander The Great In Prophecy), or the military commanders and their successors who had divided up his kingdom after his early death (see The Seleucids and The Ptolemies). Seleucus was the commander who took control of the Syrian region of Alexander's empire, thereby establishing the Seleucid dynasty. Antiochus IV was the eighth of the Seleucid kings, ruling from about 174-164 BC. Antiochus certainly had a very high opinion of himself; he took the name of "Epiphanes," which presumed to have meant "Select of God." Many of the people of his kingdom had a different name for him however - they called him "the madman."…
