Pennsylvania was made up of two parties: the Proprietary and the Quakers. Neither of them agreed

The video that I watched was about Shay’s Rebellion that happened on January 25 1787.Washinton reigned on November 2, 1783. That same year he rode to New Jersey to sign the Peace Treaty. During the 1780’s was when the American Revolution ended and was when the most critical period happened. Thousands of people died, a lot of farmers lost their crops.

However, Indian chief, Pontiac, led a violent rebellion to push Britain out of America, but Britain successfully subdued the rebellion. As a result, Britain issue the Proclamation of 1763, dictating that Americans were allowed to colonize beyond the mountains.

The Whiskey Rebellion event led the new U.S. government to establish a federal authority by military within the state borders. The military moved to western Pennsylvania to put in end to the uprising of settlers rebelling against the liquor tax in 1794. Alexander Hamilton, secretary of the Treasury during that time, he proposed the excise tax which was the first national internal revenue tax that was passed by Congress in 1794. Hamilton believed that the excise tax would raise money for the national debt and to maintain the national government’s power. The small farmers were the one who produced and consumed whiskey. Whiskey was easier to transport and sell than the grain. The production helped many small farmers sell and make a lot of profit

The coercive acts came to be when the British got upset/mad from the event of the Boston Tea Party. The Boston Tea Party was an event when the Sons of liberty destroyed tons of British tea by dumping it into the river. The British then established a series of four acts to try to restore order. First the Boston Port Act, which was the port to be closed until the tea that was dumped into the river was paid for. Second Massachusetts Governing Act, to suppress town meeting and trials of royal officials to be held outside of New England. Third was the Quartering Act, governor’s requisition housing for British troops. Fourth Quebec Act, allowing freedom of worship to Canadian Catholics. Which all lead to Shays Rebellion. Shays Rebellion was a series of protests. How it lead to the constitution because it was the most dramatic social, political and economic struggle.

The Pueblo Revolt of 1680 also known as the Pope’s Rebellion according to Wikipedia.org it was named for one of the Pueblo Indians “Ohkay Owingeh” which means Pope.

The Eureka stockade was a turning point for Australian democracy. It was a rebellion against the police and government and it was a fight for justice. The Eureka stockade is seen by some to be the birthplace of Australian democracy (Evatt, 2010). It was destined to fail, yet it is probably the most widely known rebellion in Australian History. The Rebellion against authority started with unfair taxes and policing, and it resulted in a change in the political stance of people in the middle and lower classes. It is an important part of the development of Australia as a nation, as it demonstrates the values of mateship, determination, persistence and the Aussie ‘Give-it-a-go’ attitude, all of which are key parts of the Australian Identity and culture.

The aforementioned revolts and rebellions reflected tensions in British North America and had intriguing effects on the economy. “They saw New Mexico not as mission country, where the friars had to be protected as they went about their task of saving Native souls, but rather as a buffer zone, protecting the precious silver mines from the not-so-distant French and even the British. They saw the New Mexican people as possible allies in the game of transcontinental empire, to be courted rather than conquered” (Countryman 1). After the Pueblo victory in the Pueblo Revolt of 1680, the Spanish quickly sought to regain the territory. It took twelve years but eventually the Spaniards were able to protect their silver mines and focus on spreading their

Early Sunday Morning, on September 9th, 1739, a band of slaves marched, carrying banners that declared “Liberty!”. This revolt, named the Stono Rebellion, was the largest uprising in the colonies with over 50 people killed. Although the reason for this slave revolt is not 100 percent clear, there are multiple theories. To address the validity of these theories, it is important to get a deeper understanding of the backgrounds of the key leaders and participants of this revolt, such as Jemmy.

In the decades before the Civil War, there was a growing anti-immigration atmosphere in response to the population boom brought on by European immigrants. There was a fear that these new immigrants were either immoral, ‘not good enough’ due to race or religion, corrupt, or stealing jobs from the hard-working ‘native’ Americans. A new political party, members called ‘Know Nothings,” was formed, in an effort to regain control of the population. Some methods they wanted to use were requiring the ability to read and write in English in order to vote, banning certain types of people from holding political office, and making the process of becoming an American citizen more difficult. This party had some mild success in the Northeast, particularly in Massachusetts, but they fell out of favor and vanished shortly before the Civil War.

The pueblo revolt was something that happened so quickly. The indians felt as if they were being used and decided to rebel against the Spanish. Before the pueblo revolt there was some other issues in history that put the spark in this.

Non-violent resistance began to evolve as the Jews were transported to the concentration camps. Upon their initial arrival in the concentration camps, inmates attempted to aid each other in various ways, such as by giving those that were extremely malnourished extra food or attempting to lessen the workload on those that were weaker by taking their place; these acts, although not aimed directly against the SS, were simply keeping one another alive. These acts can be considered under Bauer’s definition of resistance in that the groups’ motives in sustaining themselves as a whole was in direct opposition to the central idea of the SS to break down and destroy the Jewish population. These acts also helped lead to the later active, armed resistance in that they helped to keep inmates alive and maintain their strength, as well as providing them with a will to resist.

Their main goals were to organize uprisings, break out of the ghettos, and join partisan units in the fight against the Germans.The Jews knew that uprisings would not stop the Germans and that only a handful of fighters would succeed in escaping to join the partisans. Still, some Jews made the decision to resist. Weapons were smuggled into ghettos. Inhabitants in the ghettos of Vilna, Mir, Lachva , Kremenets, Częstochowa, Nesvizh, Sosnowiec, and Tarnow, among others, resisted with force when the Germans began to deport ghetto populations. In Bialystok, the underground staged an uprising just before the final destruction of the ghetto in September 1943. Most of the ghetto fighters, primarily young men and women, died during the fighting.The Warsaw ghetto uprising in the spring of 1943 was the largest single revolt by Jews. Hundreds of Jews fought the Germans and their auxiliaries in the streets of the ghetto. Thousands of Jews refused to obey German orders to report to an assembly point for deportation. In the end the Nazis burned the ghetto to the ground to force the Jews out. Although they knew defeat was certain, Jews in the ghetto fought desperately and
