Last night on February 4, 1787, General Benjamin Lincoln attacked members of the Shays’ Rebellion, and successfully captured 150 of the rebels. As a result, Daniel Shays left Massachusetts and fled to Vermont. Shays Rebellion was an armed rebellion consisting of 1,200 angry farmers from Massachusetts. They caused major chaos in this state. On December 26, 1786 Daniel Shays and the rebels revolted in Springfield, Massachusetts insisting that the state legislature address their issues, such as lack of money.
A is an incorrect statement because Daniel Shays did not get killed or executed as a result of the conflict. In the source titled, "Mount Vernon" it stated that "Many participants were later captured and most men, including Shays, eventually received amnesty as part of a general pardon. " Daniel Shays was not hung, rather he was released back to his family where he later died in September 1825. Answer choice B is the legitimate answer because in the book for this class it says, "The state government [Massachusettes] responded by sending 4,400 militiamen.
Many people tend to believe the end of the Revolutionary War meant the end of all problems in America, but that was not the case. The return to a normal lifestyle after the war was long-awaited and anticipated by just about everyone, as soldiers were reunited with their families and people once again had access to all the things made unavailable during wartime. This boom in morale and economics was however, short lived as the newly established government was faced with paying off the debts to other countries and the soldier who risked their lives for years. This sent many men and their families into debt. In response, veterans joined daniel Shays in a rebellion, known as Shays’s Rebellion, to protect the veterans being punished for not being

The British colonized the eastern seaboard of America during the 17th and 8th centuries. However, the colonies were not contented with the British government. The disatisfaction of the colonist towards the British government led to a continuous back and forth of revolts; thus leading to laws attempting to affix the colonies. These laws inevitably induced the rise of the American Revolution. The demand for no taxation without representation supported the colonies abhor for British tyranny, forgather the colonist, and symbolized the pressure colonial leaders placed on a republican form of government.
American Revolution Suppose the British had not taxed the colonies to raise money to pay for the wars. Would there still have been an American Revolution? Taxes were not the only problem between the colonists and Britain. The colonists were used to governing themselves. The 13 colonies were too far away and would have become too large for England to control.
The maintenance of British rule in India depended upon the acquiescence and participation of the ruled."30 Kipling's India reveals the depth of concern about the threat to the Raj from the native population, which lingered beneath the surface long after the traumas of the Indian Mutiny. The police were tasked to detect subversion they would achieve varying degrees of success but the authorities were also eager to influence the elites, the potential leaders of revolt, and, where possible, to shape public opinion. As C.A. Bayly argues: "the idea was to regulate the means of communication so as to establish an empire of opinion".31 The settings in Kipling's work are precisely at the margins of authority in the information order, seeking out the sinister hidden hand of rebels and foreigners.

The novel has been creating a series of allegoric associations that gather up a form of a “mythical version of England that is peddled in the nostalgia industry” (Ishiguro in Toronto, 73), a form Ishiguro evidently operates to demystify through the narrative. Such a series comprises Stevens’ father’s professional dignity and repressiveness, which has influenced Stevens own professionalism and dignity as a butler, to world events pointed in the narrative, in which a major role is played by Great Britain which is often boastful and finally damaging. Boer War is one of the major global events in which Stevens’s elder brother had died. He himself portray the war in words that are somewhat unfavorable to the self-image of political
Although Doyle's The Sign of Four admires the peculiar aspects of Indian cultures, it upholds England's authority without questioning its legitimacy as reflected in Small's description of the Mutiny which unjustifiably associates India with barbarism. Stevenson's The Beach of Falesa, on the other hand, adamantly emphasizes the moral depravity of the white perpetrators. Both of these tales have undoubtedly broadened the imaginative horizons of British readers and their analyses have broadened mine so I am extremely thankful for the knowledge I acquired through this

We are going to see to what extent we can say that Macaulay’s “Minute on Indian Education” reflects British society and the western point of view at the time. In a first part, we will focus on the opposition between Orientalists and Anglicists and in a second part, we will see about the western society seen as culturally superior compared to other nations and societies. On one hand, there was an opposition
