This outcry lasted for about one year and by the time it ended, nearly twenty people were hung for being suspected of witchcraft and many others were accused of it (Burns, People Accused). Many people are aware of the Salem Witchcraft Trails, but many do not know what truly happened in those dark days.

At the beginning of my training I was trained to respond to catastrophic injuries and situations. During my first deployment, my soldiers began (for reasons I know understand as more complicated) not responding to Ibuprofen and water as a cure for aches and pains.

Now as I mentioned before, England was up to its neck in debt from Dutch and British banks, and England didn’t have enough income to pay it off. So why not tax the colonies?

So the first Act the British government put into place was the Sugar Act of 1764 which put stricter taxes on the molasses and…

The papers "Common Sense" by Thomas Paine and "Letters of a Westchester Farmer" by Reverend Samuel Seabury explain the point of views on the struggles between the thirteen colonies and Great Britain. The idea of freedom leading to salutary neglect, strict acts and taxes, and rebellious reactions led to the start of the American Revolution.…

Imagine you were living in a time where you were controlled by an outside governing body and you are being taxed and your rights are being taken away. Then there is one event that pushes you over the edge and makes your fellow colonist want to rebel. The British did many things to the colonist that made the colonist want to rebel against the British and to start their own government. The colonist had many great reasons to leave the control of England and to become its own independent country…

[introduction] The fight for American Independence began in 1765. However, Americans have long been fighting for their freedom many years before the war actually begun. They were tired of being under British Rule. The main cause of the war dates back in the early 1760s, when the British continuously taxed the colonies. They felt that it was the colonies duty to help pay for the Seven Years War that had just passed. Unfortunately, the British didn’t know that taxing the colonies was only going…
