America's Rebellion

In American history everyone believes that the American Revolution would begin in 1775. But many would argue that the American Revolution had started even earlier than that. As the American Revolution would not spring up overnight, but throughout a series of events that would build tension caused by different views on government, and conflicting interests between the British and their colonies on the western hemisphere.

The Great Pueblo revolt of 1680 all started with the droughts of 1660 when the Southwest had severe drought that brought famine and disease. During this, hungry Apaches who couldn’t find food on plains attacked the pueblos. This angered the people on the pueblos, but there new leader Pope’, a mysterious medicine doctor, tried to keep the Indian beliefs around and resisted the Christian religion. The Spaniards hated this, so they captured his older brother. This enraged Pope’ against the Spaniards so he held meetings to tell everybody that the Spaniards must leave. The

In June of 1675, King Philip, called Metacom by the Indians, led the Wampanoag, Algonquin, Nipmunk, and Narragansett Indians in massive attacks against the English in Plymouth, Massachusetts. The English colonists allied with the Mohegan, Pequot, Mohawk, and Christian Indians and fought back. There were organized raids back and forth which resulted in thousands of murders. On both sides, women and children were killed, tortured, and the survivors sold to slavery.          

Between 1770 and 1776, resistance to imperial change turned into a full-on revolution. The American Revolution, also known as the Revolutionary War, was a time of revolting and political uprising, in which the 13 colonies separated from the British Empire, forming the independent nation known as the United States of America. Though the American Revolution began because the colonies wanted independence from Britain, many important historical events and revolts also lead to the tensions and resistance to what resulted in freedom and independence for the colonies from British rule. Events such as the Stamp and Sugar Acts, the Boston Massacre, Boston Tea Party, Intolerable Acts, and the Continental Congress led to expanding tensions and soon to the outbreak of the American Revolution.

The American Revolution was undeniably the most pivotal time period in respect to United States History, but who was really to blame for initiating the conflict? While both the British politicians and American colonists shared the blame for the kindling of the revolution, one party was certainly more at fault than the other: the British. Through short-term causes of taxation and incommodious trade acts, and long-term causes of salutary neglect and involvement in the burdensome French & Indian War, the British politicians proved to ultimately be the most responsible for igniting the Revolutionary War.

The American Revolution is typically looked at as a conservative movement, but it seems most of the actions taken were very radical. They were fighting to defend their rights, governed and natural. The American Revolution was as radical as any other revolution, in a special 18th century way, and this seems to hold true while looking at the new waves of thinking. It involves the Whigs and Tories, and while they are at opposite sides of the spectrum, they consecutively agreed to not address and higher-law principles so they would not have to rework their entire system.. The Revolution worked against this, and the parties chose to pretend it was not a serious movement and act, as they believed it would not take any effect. More people got involved and all aspects of life began to be questioned and revolutionized. The Revolution seems to be radical in a more definitive way as it caused segregation of beliefs, the Declaration of independence, and

Some people believe the American Revolution is strictly liberal, in truth it is conservative evidenced by the new British policies, colonial reactions and the examinations of what it means to be conservative vs. liberal.

The Native American’s in New Mexico revolted against the Spanish settlers, because they wanted to convert the natives to Christianity and would punish them for worshiping their own gods. The natives actually expelled the Spanish from that region.

1.The Pope’s Rebellion occurred in 1680 and was an Indian uprising. This uprising was caused because of the Spanish Roman Catholic’s mission in New Mexico began to oppress the natives by attempting to take from their religious customs. The rebels raided through the Providence destroying churches, killing priests, and slaughtering Spanish settlers along the way. After this attack the Spanish needed almost half a century to regain New Mexico for a second time.

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 people wanted the Spanish colonizers to leave the Province of Santa Fe de Nuevo Mexico which is now known as New Mexico today. 400 Spanish where killed and the pueblo people drove the 2,000 remaining settlers out of the province.

The United States wouldn’t exist if it weren’t for rebellion. A revolution is just a large-scale rebellion that is actually successful. After the American Revolution when our government was created, one of the main bases for our government was that there would be a series of checks and balances. That means that no one branch of the government would have to much control. The main part of these checks and balances though was the people. The people are ultimately in charge of the government, and if the government is oppressive it is the duty of the people, and the people of the United States are encouraged to rebel. The goal of a rebellion is to turn it into a revolution. So the main reasoning one should have is to join a rebellion is what the

1850 Compromise: Henry Clay began a series of resolutions on January 29th, 1850 to try to find a good compromise in order to avoid problems between Northern and Southern Americans. The slave trade in Washington D.C. was abolished and the fugitive slave act was amended.

I believe that there was idea of a rebellion at the time but I do not believe that it would be very successful and it would be unlikely it would happen. The people wanted change but a rebellion would have never made a change as big as the new deal. If there was a rebellion it would be very unsuccessful because of how large America is and how distributed the people are. Different groups of rebels with different ideas and philosophies would most likely form due to the lack of communication. In the primary source we read, the farmer claimed that he wanted a rebellion like the Reds had, but he wanted to keep the basic system of the American government. A rebellion would not be justified, the government was not trying to force the people into poverty,

The things that have happen in America’s history have changed the country for over many years. Some in good ways and some in bad. Many people have thought what could make citizens rebel against the government? I think that racism could be one way that could make citizens rebel but, that is most likely not going to happen. Also if more citizens are losing their jobs than that could get people mad leading to rebellion. Some people think that a rebellion is different than a revolution. I think that a rebellion is to free go against that particular country's government. A revolution is going against an entire nation of a country's government. I would not participate in an evolution unless it directly affects me or my race.

American popular culture of the Cold War period is associated with the ideas of non-conformity among those who do not possess much power in the society. As it can be seen from the Chapter 12 in Major Problems in American Popular Culture, the two groups associated with rebellion are teenagers/schoolchildren and young females. Clearly, these two cases are quite different, provided the concerns around the behaviours of school kids are mostly linked to delinquency, while young female popular culture is often criticised for the excessive sexual liberation. Nevertheless, increased interest in sex is also a concern for the critics of teenager popular culture, primarily, comic books that, in the views of many, promoted violence and sexuality.
