In addition the interest on the debt alone was £9 million per year. All of this made it clear to Pitt that something had to happen to try to escape from the mess the government was in. In the 18th century there was a serious problem with people smuggling goods such as tea and tobacco into the country. This was to avoid the duty tax on products, which gave them a huge profit margin. This profit margin made the risk worth taking for many, resulting in the government losing money due to be not paying duty tax.
From the start of the brawl to the trials and finally the verdicts you the reader will understand that the Boston massacre was not an accident but rather an intentional act that was meant to hurt the people of Boston. King Street, and also the State Street massacre all started with the introduction of the Townshend act. Which placed taxes on glass, paint, oil, lead, paper, and tea? The people of Boston detested these acts, which caused riots. Two regiments of British soldiers were sent to Boston to restore balance and keep Boston calm.
The Boston Massacre Although Bostonians tried to depict themselves as innocent victims of British tyranny, tensions between the people of Boston and the soldiers themselves led to the almost unavoidable event known as the Boston Massacre. The Boston Massacre was the killing of five colonists by British regulars on March 5, 1770. It was the culmination of tensions in the American colonies that had been growing since Royal troops first appeared in Massachusetts in October 1768 to enforce the heavy tax burden imposed by the Townshend Acts. The Boston Massacre was a street fight that occurred on March 5, 1770, between a "patriot" mob, throwing snowballs, stones, and sticks, and a squad of British soldiers. Several colonists were killed and this led to a campaign by speech-writers to rouse the ire of the citizenry.
The conflict quickly rose between the two and resulted in the murders of massacre. On December 10, 1981 soldiers of the Salvadoran Army entered the village of El Mozote, after a crash with guerrillas in the area. The soldiers of the Salvadoran army were military trained by the United States. The soldiers of the army gathered all members of the city, along with anyone seeking refuge in the town. The civilians of El Mozote were imprisoned without resistance by the Atlacati Battalion.
However the riot did at one point get out of hand when protestors burned a bus. Armored cars and tanks quickly surrounded the plaza, and the police with snipers in surrounding buildings began firing into the crowd. Some of the
Despite the numerous positives for Britain many other colonies felt the negative effects of the British empire sparking many conflicts in the past 200 years. Britain prospered financially throughout the many years of having an empire. Britain developed trade links between many countries, source B shows how these links benefitted Britain. The source shows that the years between 1700 and 1900 saw a dramatic increase in the amount of goods being imported and exported from Britain. Up until 1900 the source shows that Britain was in a very good position when it came to trade as their exports greatly outweighed their imports which in turn would make a steady profit for Britain.
Hitler captured people in his speeches with his promises of a better Germany, but he also taught his hatred of Jews in the process. “It was Hitler’s belief that the Jews had too much money, land and the power of the press.” (library.thinkquest.org) Hitler caused mass hysteria against Jews by creating this frame of mind that they were the cause of all things bad just like Abigail and her posse did to Salem. Unfortunately, the people who are completely innocent in these cases get punished the most. In both the Salem witch trials and the Holocaust many people were killed who were not
Presuppositions • The ideas and values that the author discusses are different from the ideas and values of America; however they are not that much different from that of developing nations. For example, in the Middle East many people are killed as a result of religious and ethnic differences. • In 1792 the murders believed that they were just in killing innocent people under the assumption that they would aid Prussia in the invasion of France. However, I find this questionable because they acted on their assumptions which led to the death of many innocent people. I believe that innocent people with out a fair trial or without valid evidence.
Fleeing refugees, murder from both the government and the enemy have resulted in such a devastated state of countries like Iraq and Afghanistan where the Taliban scares innocent people with death by military equipment. War is also a misconduct of human rights. Rape and torture are inappropriate and should be prevented. If war continues, human right may never be a part of a war-stricken country. These human rights misconducts are just another word to describe murder.
