While sitting on a bench gathering my thoughts a young lady with a sheet of paper in her hands stop and asked me to sign a petition to outlaw gerrymandering in Ohio, after our last class this was a pleasant surprise. So, after signing the petition I continued my way to the water park where a lot of vendors were located. I have not heard any speakers nor have I witnessed a parade. So far this has an entertaining venue, too bad…

Two actions which had the most impact on the decision to declare independence from Britain were the Stamp Act and the Boston Massacre. The Stamp Act was a new kind of tax for the colonists. The Stamp Act made the colonists question the power of the Parliament. “If the British can pass the Stamp Act, imagine what other taxes they might pass in the future?” The Boston Massacre changed the view of both the colonists and the British.

The book begins with Cuba’s agricultural transformation from the society with slaves to the slave society.

short-term social movements to enact change. In many ways I agree with Drescher’s assessment that the continued efforts of the general public to pressure parliament led to the downfall of British slavery.
