between the British and the Americans; this greatly affected the Indigenous people living in the areas that were being fought on. The British side looked at the Indigenous as possible allies but overall wanted to leave them out of the fight, but that ended up not being the case because the Indigenous people became important allies for the British. The American side did as the British side when it came to trying to leave the Indigenous people out of the war, but the ended up using the Indigenous peoples like the British because they realized that if they did not the British would and the Indigenous became important for the possibility of winning the war. Many indigenous peoples did not really care for the war and only…

“Nature does nothing by a jump, it is said. But to the British people living at the time, it seemed as if the world they knew had vanished almost overnight,” David Newsome writes of the Victorian Era (Swisher). From the spinning jenny to the steam engine, many products were created to provide a better life and pave the way for social adjustment. During the Victorian Era, industry and innovation ignited the country and influenced the future of steam, power and social change. Before the Victorian…
that often, more often not, than to edges into hypocrisy. They proclaim “Chicken Tikka Massala is now a true British national dish,” all the while alienating and pushing out the Indian population that created said dish. They are all too happy to wholly accept white immigrants,but push against non-white immigrants. Purely on the color of their skin.

It is a “special jewel,” “beautiful” and “delicate.” As she is a child, England is presented to her as a mysterious far off land that has an almost magical appeal. It was a “source of myth” and the source “from which [they] (Antiguan) got [their] sense of reality.” It ‘could not really look like anything familiar,” because it was not really a tangible thing, at least not her her. Kincaid uses this…
help organize the Indian community and unite it as one. When my activist movement started I opted for a passive form of protest which basically consisted of the use propaganda even the national Indian congress was propaganda to make the people of england know what was happening in Natal. With time I realized that my passive form of protest was useless so I decided to opt to a new form of protest called non-violence resistance which I called satarahaya. My political philosophy movement was…
