    The American Revolution certainly is a breathtaking era in God’s unfolding story. Friction between England and its colonies emerged most notably after the Seven Years' War. Before the war, the British government had undertaken minimal contact with or interference in the internal affairs of their settlements, aside from passing the Navigation acts that dictated the shipment of goods(Marston, 2003). However, the price of war racked up a hefty debt that made the country see an error in their previous policy. Not only did the regular cost of warfare take a toll on Britain's resources, but also the need to heed a collection of soldiers in the colonies.…

    1) The Stono rebellion was the largest slave revolt in Colonial History. It started with Spain offering freedom to any slave that reached Spanish territory. The outcome was not what was expected, it just gave stricter rules on slaves. Also, planters decided to develop their own slave population rather than depend on on imported slaves, because the planters believed they would be more passive and likely to accept their status as slaves. 2) Iron Act of 1750 was a British Law, that was intended to encourage the American manufacture of more pig iron and iron bars by the American colonists to be sent to England, tax free.…

    On September 9, 1739, forty-four black slaves were executed by White slave masters in South Carolina for starting a rebellion. Pearson overlooks the deeper problem of the slaves trying to fight for power and control by focusing on how gender division played a major role in the start of the Stono Rebellion. During the 1700s, there are many different people hungry for power and control and by having slaves, they could gain a sense of that control. The dehumanization of enslaved African-Americans resulted in a rebellion that would allow them to possess full control of their own lives. While some historians may argue that gender division was a major factor in the rebellion, power struggle was the main reason for the start of the uprising.…

    The events and causes of Bacon’s rebellion goes far beyond 1676, carrying over into conflicts throughout the 17th century with similar underlying factors that helped shape history. Throughout the book Rice continues to demonstrate how the rebellion wasn’t really Bacon’s and the events of the rebellion carried on throughout history. Rice broadens the scope of Bacon’s Rebellion to show that events throughout the 17th century, such as the conflict between Catholics and Protestants, tension and conflict between Natives, the Glorious Revolution and even the American Revolution 100 years later, were created by similar underlying factors found in the cause of the rebellion. To connect these issues to the rebellion Rice boiled the conflict down to…

    The Peasant Rebellion began with a local meeting composed of the village commune. The assemblage was a coming together of protestors that trespassed the boundaries of villages and lordships, which expressed rudimentary regional identity. This association of people took on an organizational form as a “band.” The bands were made up of peasants protesting against the government, which created the problem of feeding and supplying themselves. The major battles of the Peasants’ War resulted in discriminatory slaughters of the rebels.…

This text, with its plot set in a European slave colony, took on issues of class and identity to defend the slave trade using logic and reasoning.…

    Rao's Rebellion

    One of the main ideas Rao tries to explain is how market rebels come to be. To begin with, the cause of a rebellion must be one that “create[s] a shock effect and provide[s] [an] emotional intensification of grievances,” (Rao, 2008, p.106). Such an assumption would be justified in my opinion, due to emotions playing a large part in the decisions we make. Rao cleverly uses emotions as a way to illustrate the reasoning behind social movements. For example, if hobbyists were not emotionally attached to the automobile or the development of the computer, we would not have seen the cultural acceptance of such vital tools in our everyday life.…
