The other side of the story is that the Sepoys didn’t want to fight so they made up the animal fat to keep them from fighting.

Nicholas Gilman, a representative from New Hampshire, believes that the unconventional Articles of Confederation need to be changed and the Constitution needs to be ratified. During 1786, in Massachusetts, a rebellion took place in response to increased taxes (“Shays’ Rebellion”). Farmers, led by Daniel Shay, gathered together to combat the local government (“Shays’ Rebellion”).

In today’s America we are witnessing the divide between political standpoints of individual state governments and the federal government. With hot button topics such as gun laws and the legalization of the recreational use of marijuana and the varying laws pertaining to these topics from state to state, one might recall why in this great country of ours do our states and local governments reserve the right to have different standpoints and sign in different laws on the same topics and issues. It is imperative to the full understanding of how our complex government works to look back in history and review one historical occurrence in particular, Shays’ Rebellion. Daniel Shays, a farmer and retired officer of the continental army faced an issue…

A Rebellion against the Powerful Church and State To be a rebel is to fight the formalities in society as well as the accepted norm. When the Puritans emigrated from England to the New England region of the New World, they were relieved to escape the religious pressures of Catholicism. However, the Puritans themselves pressured their beliefs on others and ostracized those who did not agree with their beliefs, turning them away from their colonies. One man however, became a rebel and stood for what he believed in rather than accepting the pressures of the many Puritans.…
During World War II, Adolf Hitler and the Nazis declared that Jewish people were a virus that needed to be eliminated. This insane belief led to the Holocaust, where over six million Jews were stripped away from their homes, forced into internment and concentration camps, and slaughtered.

Most people were too scared to fight back, but not everyone; some were eager to rise up to the occasion. Resistance groups were determined to stop at nothing until they punished the former Nazis that inflicted so much pain.…
