The next biggest incident that occurred between the families was the New years Eve Massacre. This resulted in the death of Roseanne, Airfare and Calvin McCoy and the burning of Ole Randall McCoy’s home. In an effort to end the commotion once and for all, a group of the Hatfields and their supporters hatched a plan to attack Randolph McCoy and his family. Led by Devil Anse’s son Cap and ally Jim Vance, a group of Hatfield men ambushed the McCoys’ home in 1888. New Years eve Night of 1888, was the night the revengeful group acted out their plan. They surrounded Ole Randall McCoy’s house and set it ablaze. At the time the family was asleep so not many made it out. Randall McCoy was fortunate to escape, with a few damaging burns, but sadly
Police of criminal law in Georgia are seeking three armed men who shot and killed a man during a home invasion. Friends and family have said that the criminals targeted Craigory Burch Jr., a resident of Fitzgerald, Georgia, because of his recent winning of the lottery. Jasmine Hendricks, Craigory's girlfriend, said that the suspects blew the door open with a shotgun blast.
He then proceeded to go after the Hatfield and physically harm him. Tolbert's brothers, Phamer and Randolph jr., jumped in to help. Ellison Hatfield walks into the situation drunk and then says some vulgar words leading to a bigger altercation that results in the death of Ellison. He was stabbed 26 times and then shot. He was taken back to a home and died Aug 9, 1882. This same night the 3 McCoy boys were taken away from “police” hands and were brought across the Tug River at Matewan where they were tied to a tree and shot to death. This incident Began open warfare between the families. As to why the murder of Anse McCoy isn’t said to be the cause of the feud goes back to how the incident ended. No one was ever accused or officially blamed for the death of Anse McCoy. Although the McCoy family had their suspicions on who it was, they didn’t have a way of acting out on their suspicions because it would just end up in cold blood. When Ellison Hatfield was killed, there were witnesses and a clear sight as to who was at fault; the three McCoy brothers. They were to be taken to trial and serve their consequences, but because it was publicly known that they were to blame, the Hatfield family took revenge into their own hands.
During the 1500’s, the conflict and tension between Catholics and Protestants brought about new levels of violence in Paris and surrounding areas. Despite the authorities of Paris’ attempts at maintaining peace and order, Catholics were determined to rid the streets of unwanted Protestants. On August 24th, 1572, a day known to Catholics as “St. Bartholomew’s Day”, thousands of Protestants were murdered by Catholics. From then on, this day was known as “The St. Bartholomew’s Day Massacre.” Authors Barbra Diefendorf, and Philip Benedict both wrote about this devastating time in history with contrasting approaches to the issue. Though sharing in some similarities, the approaches in which Diefendorf and Benedict take on the St. Bartholomew’s Day Massacre are significantly contrastive. The authors provide different theories to why the massacre occurred, as well as disclose information about important events that occurred during different times.

With the sun rising on a morning in May of 1636, roughly 500 Pequot men, women, and children lay slaughtered on the ground. This was the outcome of the Mystic Fort Battle. The Puritans in New England thought they were entitled to the land and resources that the Native Americans had. With the smallpox epidemic killing thousands of Native Americans who were not prepared for the disease, the Puritans; especially John Winthrop thought that this was God's way of telling the Puritans that this land was meant for them and not the Native Americans (Edwards).
Did you know, the bloodiest labor confrontation (The Everett Massacre) occurred in Washington state, on November 5th, 1916? Well, it’s true! That Sunday, a group called the Wobblies went on ships from Seattle, Washington to Everett, Washington.

Pennsylvania. Washington’s men murdered the gathering in what came to be recognized as The Battle of Jumonville Glen. France and England initially pursued the French and Indian War mainly for power of the area known as the Ohio River Valley. The Ohio River Valley was a property filled with fur-bearing animals and profuse resources. Both English and French colonists wanted to settle it to make fortunes in the fur trade. The Ohio River formed by the union of the Allegheny and Monongahela Rivers at the time Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania ran through the valley. As French settlers arrived upon the area from Canada, and English settlers came from Virginia, territory clashes were unavoidable. Neither side was willing to negotiation, as each assumed they
The Elaine Massacre was one of the most destructive racial dispute that had taken place in Arkansas history and perhaps, the bloodiest racial rivalry in the history of the United States. While its inmost origin lies in the United States dedication to white superiority, the events in Elaine were emanated from strained race affiliates and expanding sympathy regarding the labor unions. A firing incident that took place at a meeting of the Progressive Farmers and the Household Union inflated into throng brutality on the part of the white people in Elaine and the nearby areas. Despite, the perfect number is unidentified, a huge number of African Americans were killed by the white’s territory that was around hundreds; and five white people lost their lives.
From 1924 to 1930, the city of Chicago gained a widespread reputation for lawlessness and violence. Not coincidentally, this phenomenon coincided with the reign of chief crime lord Al “Scarface” Capone, who took over from his boss Johnny Torrio in 1925. (Torrio, who was seriously wounded in an assassination attempt in 1924, had “retired” to Brooklyn.) Prohibition, ushered in by the passage of the 18th Amendment in 1920, had greatly increased the earnings of America’s gangsters through bootlegging (the illegal manufacture and sale of alcohol) and speakeasies (illicit drinking establishments), as well as gambling and prostitution. Capone’s income from these activities was estimated at some $60 million a year; his net worth in 1927 was around

On August 24th, 1572 approximately 7,000 protestants were murdered in France. This horrific event was named the St. Bartholomew’s Day Massacre. Marguerite de Valois, Queen Catherine de Medicis daughter was arranged to marry Henry of Navarre on August 18th. Marguerite and the rest of the Valois family were extremely Catholic while Henry was a Huguenot (Calvinist Protestants). This marriage was an attempt the break the religious tension and join together the religions in peace, or so they thought. The wedding was held in Paris, France and many Huguenot nobility attended. However, what seemed to be a happy and memorable occasion quickly resulted in a gruesome, and barbaric massacre that would be remembered forever.
Revolution is an integral part of social history, and possibly the most famous of all the rebellions in mankind’s history is the French Revolution. However, the actions of 1789 were not a random coincidence, and you can trace the roots of this massive upheaval back to a printing press in Paris, the rue Saint-Severin, where the printers attacked the social order via a mass slaughter of cats. This feline atrocity occurred in the 1730’s and despite the absurd and seemingly cruel nature of it, the workers may have been justified. The account of the massacre is from the historian Robert Darton, from his work “The Great Cat Massacre”, and in it, he describes the story of a printer Nicolas Contat.
When researching many sources written about the Boston massacre, there were several authors who issued articles about the Boston Massacre, particularly journals, letter and references. Some authors categorized the Boston massacre by its context in history by examining it by the people who were involved in the important event. However, while the authors talk about journals, letters and references, there really wasn’t much discussion about other important part of the Boston Massacre: who really caused it. The goal in this research paper is this Boston Massacre debate is by explaining how it was the colonist fault for causing the Boston massacre because they resulted in the soldiers firing at them because they were the ones to start the
Architectural buildings around the world make up one factor of the beauty and culture of each country. The Winter Palace is an incredibly beautiful architectural building in St. Petersburg, Russia. The Winter Palace consists of great importance politically, culturally, and symbolically in the city’s third century. In 1708, the Winter Palace was first built as a wooden house with a Dutch style to be the Imperial residence of Peter the Great and his family. In 1711, the wood was replaced by a stone building. However, in 1731 Francesco Bartolomeo Rastrelli was assigned to reconstruct the palace into a much larger and newer design. The third reconstruction of the palace was completed in the year of 1735. Nevertheless, it only lasted 17 years before Rastrelli was asked again to expand the building even more. Two years later, he decided to completely rebuild the Winter Palace after the confirmation of the empress. (saint-petersburg.com) Ratrelli’s designs for the exterior were in a Baroque style, which have remained the same till this day. (about-eastern-europe.com)
To begin, the Munich Massacre occurred primarily due to lack of preparation, collaboration, and oversight. After reading the article, this lack of preparation and collaboration ultimately led to the deaths of nine innocent individuals. If I were the commander, more emphasis would have been placed on the teamwork aspects of the command center. To be fair, this incident was unprecedented in Olympic history. To expect a flawless and mistake free operation would, in my opinion, be unrealistic. However, realizing the scope of the overall Olympic event, the commander should have set up the command structure in an entirely different manner.
