Summary Is Tyranny
Tyranny is Tyranny
Tyranny is Tyranny starts off talking about our nation and how it is ready to remove itself from British rule and not be unfairly treated but go about it not causing rebellions and create a consensus for this new developing country. The Founding Fathers are the one who deserve this credit though by created a control over the states and showed our future leaders how to do. It all started with Bacons rebellion and many rebellions from many states came after this. English victories had not scared the Americans anymore in the French and Indian war. This made an idea that maybe after the Indians where threw in the colonies that maybe the Britain’s were next but it was never spoken upon. With the win though the British anticipated to gain some control over the states because the war was very costly and the colonies where now important to the British economy. The Americans didn’t need British control anymore though but British depended very deeply on the revenues of the colonies. This war brought unemployment to the poor and one example was New York even being …show more content…

Boston citizens found a new way to complain or get their opinion out but going and having town meetings. This brought the idea that some upper class actually cared about lower class problems. The stamp act also came about which brought about a rebellion and this was all because of the French war something Britain was not suppose to charge the states for. The thoughts and conscience of most of these lower and middle class was finally making a stand and they made an attack on wealth. They made suggestion to vote in overgrown rich men and they would try to make everybody like them so it was best not too.
The country was where most conflict was acquiring towards the rich. They tried to turn them to their side though my giving them some rights but giving their selves a whole lot more. There were also tenant riots and they got very wild but tenants weren’t ever close to the so called ghettos. This was a major problem in New York. They took it out on the leases not the people leasing the land hence the farmers. Policies also came up to win over famers they weren’t too in favor of this in the Hudson Valley.
White famers in North Carolina brought about a big movement and they came in thousands and would be heard. The movement in North Carolina was called the Regulator movement; they were trying to “democratize” which wouldn’t be an easy task. They called themselves the poor and working class demoralizing themselves.
Chapter 5: A Kind of Revolution
The Americans finally beat the British but it was not an easy task and not only possible by the army but possible by man citizen as most white men had guns. General excitement for the war was not strong and not something pleasant to think about. Most of the white males and rarely blacks when in but just cause they went in doesn’t mean they stayed too long. John said it was all split into 33% and they all had different opinions on how they felt about the war.
Alexander Hamilton was of course not in favor of this and said that maybe colonist wanted to much freedom and someone else like France would have to come in and save us .Slavery got in the way in the South and it was there main focus not the war for independence as it really had no effect of there ways of life. South Carolina, insecure since the slave uprising that was occurring in Steno I, could hardly fight against the British; the campaign had to be used to keep slaves under control as they were also fighting to be free now.
The men who first joined the colonial militia were the ones that obviously didn’t want to see the free and they were called the country men. Excluded from the militia were Indians, free Negroes, slaves , white servants, and free white men who had didn’t have a home to begin with . This did not stay in effect to long and became a home for many poor white men as enlisting became very low because the war was not a popular one. Here was a device by which those in charge of any social order mobilize gave the poor an incentive for joining as now nobody really wanted to.
Scott was a patriot fighter from poor and obscure backgrounds.
Shy's study of the war and enlistment showed that most were only there for a brief moment. Other American towns show the same pattern and have to come up with an device as to get people to come also .Shy also adds the fact about America "Revolutionary America may have been a middle-class society, happier and more prosperous than any other in its time, but it contained a large and growing number of fairly poor people, and many of them did much of the actual fighting and suffering between I775 and 1783: A very old story." Showing that it was getting bad and the poor’s would be the backbone for this war. The military conflict dominated the thoughts and actions of everything, diminished other issues, made colonist choose where there to be a loyalist or a patriot, and forced people who really didn’t care onto a side for
independence.
The force of military preparation pushed neutral people right on into the war in the minds. In Connecticut laws were created to have military service of all males between sixteen and sixty, omitting certain government officials, ministers, Yale students and faculty, Negroes, Indians, and mulattos. People could get out the call of duty by paying 5 pounds though but 18 men took this as a joke and didn’t show up thus being put in jail and having to fight in the war anyway. This was supposed to be a democratizing war but the opposite happened forcing many people in the war.
Chapter 6: The intimacy oppressed
In the light of all this fighting there was a uniqueness and similarity of black slaves and women The characteristics of women, like skin color and facial characteristics for Negroes, became a basis for treating them as they were not good enough or below. This same assumption came about with woman not taking in consideration their position as childbearers. It seemed that woman were more of a convinenece than someone to see as a equal. Societies based on private property and competition, in which monogamous families became practical units for work and socialization, found it especially useful to establish this special status of women because of that relationship with kids rather society.Something that would be hard to uproot in the mind.Earlier civilations treated woman very differently-in which property was held in common and families were extensive and complicated, with family living all under one roof seemed to treat women a lot better than did the societies during the war times and there after.
In the Zuni tribes when a woman of the tribe got married the husband came to live with the family which is the total opposite of then and now in America. It was assumed that women owned the houses and the fields still weren’t owned by the man, the women also had rights to what was grown on these fields. A woman was more entitled and didn’t have any problem having a voice in these communities. Women in the Plains Indian tribes didn’t farm and didn’t really have houseley duties but had a very important place in the tribe. Women would become chieftains in this society if something ever plagued the men but they were ready for it. Women learned to because among the Sioux a woman was supposed to be able to fight if attack rose which is still different from an American point of view which made women seem so defenseless. Free white women were not exempt from these problems actually facing more discrimination and put to work and actually being very defenseless because the men were the backbone
Anne Hutchinson was a good example of these women but she was an woman with a voice and didn’t downplay it. Having 14 kids and living in a very religious puritan community she was plagued with the exile to be religious. She was put on trial for weeks at a trial and she shook the jury up because even though she didn’t believe she was an intelligent woman and knew what she believed in and the facts behind it.
