Most people know about The French and Indian War in 1754, but not everyone knows about the three wars preceding it. English Supremacy in North America would not have been possible without King William’s War, Queen Anne’s War, King George’s War, and the French and Indian War. These four wars were fought to gain sovereignty, particularly over England’s #1 enemy - France. King William’s War was the first war between New England and New France. In Quebec, this war is called the Intercontinental War…

Anyone can change the world... anyone. I agree with Margaret Mead’s quote, "Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it's the only thing that ever has,” but only to an extent. Throughout history and even today, there have been large groups of people, small groups of people, and just one person that have made profound effects on the world we know today. The Boston tea party was a revolt where taxpayers were outraged with the high taxes being…

The American colonist did not have a major murdering of British soldiers the way French citizens were murdered for petty crimes and false accusations. Second, The French revolution was not a revolt of colonies against the mother country. It was a violent revolt of France’s own people that changed the entire country forever. Finally, the biggest difference between the two revolutions was the fact that the American revolution was for complete freedom from…

and some popular craftsman. Also, I will talk about what the popular and unpopular art forms were, and talking about furniture. Finally, different facts on what was happening in different places all throughout the colonies. These will answer the question, how did art change the colonies/colonists? Portrait painters alternated limning with coach and sign paintings or other types of craftsmanship, and even in the 18th century it was seldom possible to earn a living by painting alone. So people…

In this essay I will be comparing and contrasting the two movies The Patriot and Revolution. These Films are very similar and different with both of them focusing around war and battle. The Patriot is very inaccurate but the Revolution is a lot more accurate and shows what happened. Both of these movies take place in different locations, the Patriot is in South and North Carolina and Revolution is in New York. The plot and story in the Patriot is amazing, but the Revolutions story is horrendous…

This list includes momentous occasion such as domestication of animals, the invention of agriculture, the invention of writing and written laws comma the invention of the firearm, however no one event contributed to a greater ecological, economic, political, and social upheaval as the bridging of the old world and the new.

James Madison was elected fourth President of the United States in 1808. When he became President, Madison inherited the same foreign policy problems that went unresolved while he was Secretary of State when Thomas Jefferson was President. Madison was personally opposed to war and he did everything in his power to avoid it. First, he repealed the Embargo Act of 1807 which made illegal any and all exports from the United States and replaced it with the Nonintercourse Act. The Nonintercourse Act…

The reasons why the colonies rebelled, was because the British were overtaxing the colonies because the British were in debt. Because the colonies were acting violent since the colonies were being taxed on everything they dumped chests of tea in the water which made the British angry. The colonies rights were soon taken away. After the Boston Tea Party, the intolerable act was created. The intolerable act was created to punish the colonist for throwing away hundreds chests of tea into the water,…
