La Destruction De La Statue Royale Analysis
Even though the government changed from monarchy to democracy, after the Revolution there were still many Americans that did not benefit and still continued to live a horrible life. The American Revolution got rid of the King, or the dictator, and replaced it with the idea of people participating in the political process. In the painting La Destruction de la Statue Royale a Nouvelle Yorck, poor people taking down the statue of King George III with ropes. Everyone was involved in taking down the statue, but the poor people seemed to be doing most of the work (Doc.A). The rich whites were treated with more respect than the slaves and poor whites. This picture has no words but we can assume that the poor slaves and whites are really discontent

    How Did Abbé Sieyes Contribute To The French Revolution

    When the United States desired France help, France stepped forward and helped the 13 colonies win their revolutionary war facing Britain. Without France, America would have never won, Britain had the strongest army and was most powerful. In 1789 France citizens started to rebel against King Louis XVI, the social status changed into a new political state that is known as the Estate System.

    Summary Of Give Me A Liberty By Eric Foner

    The first revolution - the struggle for independence from the British Empire - created one of the first democracies in the world. However, it ended in a compromise between the capitalist class of the North and the owners of plantations, where slave labor was used, in the South. As I read in the 5th chapter of our textbook "Give Me a Liberty" by Eric Foner that in 1763 Britain dominated the entire North Atlantic continent and Britain was subordinated to 13 colonies, which were located on the Atlantic coast and the northern lands of Canada. Their residents were unhappy with the situation, so the country's leadership faced a new challenge - how to cope with the indignant people? About 3 million people lived in the colony at that time.…

    1.) American society wasn’t that democratic during the colonial days. Although it was much more democratic than England, it still wasn’t quite there yet. The constitution wasn’t signed and agreed upon until 1787, and before the turn of the 18th century, the colonies were a big mess. Most cities had an oligarchy, meaning a religious leader was in charge, making everyone abide by their rules, although it was often less religious and more on the tyrannical side. There wasn’t much separation of church and state. The only people who could vote were members of the church in most colonies, although some colonies allowed white men who owned property to have the right of franchise. People were hung, flogged, and exiled. Indentured servants had it bad,…

    Gary Nash

    In the essay written by Gary Nash, he argues that the reason for the American Revolution was not caused by the defense of constitutional rights and liberties, but that of "material conditions of life in America" were not very favorable and that social and economic factors should be considered as the driving factor that pushed many colonists to revolt. The popular ideology which can be defined as resonating "most strongly within the middle and lower strata of society and went far beyond constitutional rights to a discussion of the proper distribution of wealth and power in the social system" had a dynamic role in the decisions of many people to revolt. The masses ideas were not of constitutional rights, but the equal distribution of wealth in the colonies that many felt that the wealth was concentrated in a small percentage of the population in the colonies. The Whig ideology that was long established in English society had a main appeal towards the upper class citizens and "had little to say about changing social and economic conditions in America or the need for change in the future." The popular ideologies consisted of new ways of changing the distribution of wealth. Nash in his essay continued to give good evidence to prove his point that the American Revolution was not caused by the defense of constitutional rights and liberties, but by improper distribution of wealth. During the pre-American Revolutionary times, the "top five percent of Boston's taxpayers controlled 49 percent of the taxable assets of the community, whereas they had held only held only 30 percent in 1687." As evident by this statistic, it is clear that the wealthy were getting wealthier and controlling more of the taxable assets of the community. As the wealthy increased their assets in the cities, at the same time, a large class was "impoverished city dwellers." A huge contrast between the wealthy and the poor were forming and becoming more apparent from the beginning of the eighteenth…

    Rights Of A Man By Thomas Paine Analysis

    Paine expounds that America is so successful and accepting because of the system of government they established, which provided organization and protection of rights. At this time (1791), England, for example, was held under the power of a very strong, dogmatic King, whether they approved of his thoughts and actions or not. There was no organization or protection of rights in this somber system, due to the fact the King did whatever he pleased and did not care to regard or listen to any concerns the British citizens expressed. America was held under the King’s reigns for only a very short time before the colonists became audacious in declaring independence on the fateful day of July 4, 1776. From then on out, and continuing today, Americans are given the choice in who their ruler will be. The American government also currently sustains and ensures the fundamental rights of its population. Paine also admits in his writing that everyone in America is equal and “the poor are not oppressed, the rich are not privileged…” Everyone was to be treated fairly and equal in America in the late 1700’s while residents of England were divided by unprotected rights and freedoms and class systems. Today, everyone continues to be entitled to the same rights and freedoms as the people in 1791. Overall, America has not changed all too much throughout the years, but whenever it does, it is for the better.…

    Compare And Contrast Latin American Revolutions

    The revolution in North America began after the French and Indian War in 1763. It was at this time that Britain attempted to impose new taxes as well as trade controls. The colonies protested saying “taxation without representation”. They claimed that the “virtual representation” they had in parliament was unjust. A new government was put into place by leaders of the colonies and they issued the Declaration of Independence in 1776. Britain then sent troops to put down this rebellion. The fighting between the two sides to continued for a few years until the freshly formed United States prevailed. The government set forth by the United States became a model for many revolutions thereafter.…

    When America was ran by the British, the King was at the top with the lords below him. Underneath the lords were the elites and then the common people. During the Revolution, America no longer had a king or lords, so it left the elites at the top. The elites had total power and controlled the government of the new society using Enlightenment philosophy. A man named George Robert Twelve Hewes from Boston was an ordinary shoemaker.…

    Race and Revolution: a Book Review

    American Revolution remains the cornerstone of Democracy the world over. It has helped shape the History of the world and its perception of Freedom, democracy and Human values. However it is a historic anomaly that the abolition of slavery, then rampant in the various states of U.S.A as slave-ownership or slave trade, did not coincide with its independence but actually took more than a century to take effect. This question is often glossed over in the historic and heroic accounts of the story of American Revolution. This is where Gary. B. Nash has tried to fill the vacuum by trying to bring to the foreground the sentiments present during the American Revolution towards Abolitionism and the counter points that shaped history.…
