154 Words1 Page

I think the only thing I support about this revolts is that it kind of open others mind to fight for themselves. I support more of Vesey’s way of rebellion because it wasn’t too violent were as Turner killed innocent women and children. On Turner rebellions, it is bloody but I think since it became one of the famous rebellion it really push lots of slaves to speak up for what they believe is right. I understand that whites needed the slave to work on their plantations but not to the point where the slaves did not have rest or they get paid so little and some of them not even. They been treated so poorly that someone bravely needs to do something about it. So I think it is the for the best that Veseys and Turner started the revolts. These were

    Daniel Rasmussen's, American Uprising: The Untold Story of America's Largest Slave Revolt, presents a record analyzing just how slaves themselves brought about an end to slavery. In a time prior to the Civil War, and decades before Nat Turner would lead on a slave revolt, several hundred slaves gathered weapons, dressed in uniform, and garnered any recruits along the way who would join them to rise up against their masters, burned down the plantations where they were held and march on to the city of New Orleans in defiance. Although their revolt was eventually stopped, it remains one among many actions taken up that led to the end of slavery in America.

    Throughout history, peoples have been pushing for their own rights for many things and reasons, some praised as rational and humane, while other attempts were booed as irrational and controversial. The Haymarket Square Riots in Chicago was one of those that sparked deep controversy of the labor movement in America pushing for workers’ rights and brought the harsh work conditions resulting from industrialization into question nationally.

    In February 1861, a new government was on the horizon in the United States, known as the Confederate States of America. Composed of seven states from the South, this new government looked to separate from a union that they felt was tipping in power towards those who wanted to threaten the rights of the South, especially slavery. Similarly, in early 1775, colonists were preparing for revolution against a power that they felt oppressed their rights and wanted to take away their liberties. However, the Civil War was a not a complete representation of a second American Revolution. The Civil War was more than an unsatisfied party rebelling against a larger power, but a clash between two vastly different ways of life.

    The events that took place in Newark 50 years ago were a rebellion. My reasoning is that the USA was founded on rebellion. Our forefathers were fighting against the unjust laws put in place by a British government without proper representation, for example the Boston Tea Party and Shay’s Rebellion. A rebellion is to bring about change from an oppressive government or authority. In 1967, the people of Newark were rebelling against oppression/racism from the federal government, local government, local police force and white businesses.

In the case of the American Revolution authors Charles Inglis, Thomas Paine, Howard Zinn, and speaker Patrick Henry had to compare and contrasting ideas. Inglis and Zinn identified the revolution as something that was unnecessary as there are more advantages in staying with Britain and as a result of the revolution there are more problems, while Paine and Henry suggested that the revolution is needed due to the subordination and inflicted pain to the colonists, and King George III not being able

George Washington was in his second year of presidency during 1791 although he wasn't the mastermind behind the whisky tax. Alexander Hamilton was the man behind this idea because he realized that Americans needed to do something to get out of their nearly eighty million dollars in debt they had accumulated from the war.
