It was record time speed for a woman. It was interesting the when she was being awarded she looked like she hadn’t even ran a foot. Her hair was perfect, she was barely sweaty whatsoever.

One instance of people revolting against the injustices being thrust upon them is the Boston Tea Party. At that time America was still under British rule and was putting in place fairly heavy taxes or “taxation without representation”.
