Boston: The Grievances Of Boston

The list of grievances strongly appeals to his audience’s emotions. Jefferson utilizes a powerful, emotional diction to implement the colonists’ sentiments toward the King’s character into his writing. He uses certain words such as tyrants, invasions, murders, abdicated, death, desolation, cruelty, barbarous, and destruction. These words make the audience establish a sympathetic feeling towards the colonists and that the King is “totally unworthy [to be] the Head of a civilized nation” and “unfit to be the ruler of a free people.” Jefferson emphatically proves the injustice and brutality of the King and Parliament.

Brandee Meyer Boston from 1850-1900 There was no time in Boston that was most emphasized, than the 1850’s to 1900’s. In the city of Boston there were a lot of changes that had occurred between the second half of the 19th century, not only with the city but also with the people living in Boston. Boston has always been changing and in transition.

With colonists throwing snowballs with shards of ice to colonists laying on the ground and losing blood. 5 colonist deaths and 6 nonfatal injuries that profoundly affected their day-to-day lives. The Boston Massacre was a fatal altercation between a mob of violent protesting colonists and a group of British soldiers protecting themselves. It occurred on the night of March 5th, 1770, a small argument broke out between a few colonists and British Private Hugh White in front of the Custom House in Boston. After a while, more colonists started to gather around creating an agitated mob. Many think that the British were at fault for firing when not given permission, and others think the colonists were at fault for harassing and mocking the

After analyzing the video about the Boston Massacre, what it should be called depends all on which side you took. Patriots would have took this as a massacre because, not only would it blame the British, but their people were also considered "slaughtered". Thus, to the Patriots, this would be considered a massacre. However, for the Loyalists and British, this would be considered a riot. A crowd of colonists threw snowballs, stones, oyster shells, and even wood at British soldiers. This was basically a disturbance of peace, or a riot. The soldiers had the right of defending themselves, so I do understand the reasons for shooting, but killing wasn't necessary. In the end however, in my opinion, without being biased to any sides, the Boston Massacre should be considered a riot.

Another concern among the protestors was the preservation of their homeland. After the king created the Anglican Church and ordered Cromwell to implement the new governmental policies, a series of attacks and pillages were carried out by marauding thieves and Scots. The English rulers did little to stop these attacks, which greatly angered the English countrymen. As a show of their discontent with the government’s incompetence, the protestors chose to implement a section regarding the attacks and how little is being done to prevent them. In the Marcher’s Proclamation in 1536, there is a section

Thomas Jefferson argued persuasively that since the King had flouted their natural rights, the colonists were justified in cutting connection. He then set a list of grievances toward the King George III. These grievances included the unjust taxes, cutting of trade, hostility for the Indians, abuse from the military, dispensing trial by jury, as many others dictatorial actions.

The events surrounding the Boston Massacre exposed sharp divisions in the British colonies in North America with two distinct rival groups emerging, namely, the Loyalists and Patriots. The Loyalists were dedicated supporters of the British Crown whereas the Patriots were independence-minded colonists keen to break away from English rule. As a result, both feuding parties would seek to promote their own agenda without regard for core values such as accuracy and impartiality.

The Tea Act was an excellent example of how the British treatment was extremely aggressive. For instance, Britain banned all sale on non-britain tea, which then lead to the colonists getting extremely aggravated. By doing this, the colonists of Boston, Massachusetts rebled by dressings as mohawks, and dumping all tea into the Boston Harbor, which soon would be called, “The Boston Tea Party”.

Many of the clauses in the Grand Remonstrance addressed religious issues like grievances from Puritanism and the Church of England. John Pym wrote most of the grievances that addressed religion, church government, and Parliament. Parliament aimed most of the grievances at the Papists and Arminians: "the Papists of England … still retained a purpose and resolution to weaken the Protestant parties in all parts .. to make way for the change of religion." Pym wanted religious and political uniformity, but the House of Commons and Lords became divided by the strong language, convictions, and judgements against the King and the Anglican Church in the lists of complaints. The debates on the Remonstrance were intense and serious. Some prominent parliamentarians like Hyde, Falkland, and Dering spoke against the Remonstrance and changed their minds on King Charles I and decided to become Royalists. Moderate parliamentary leaders had to choose if they agreed with John Pym's aggressive hatred for Catholic sentiments and his strong belief in the authority of Parliament rooted in English tradition. Overall, the Grand Remonstrance represented the strong and radical religious and political convictions of John Pym after 30 years in
