The Dekabrist Movement

One of the rebellion would be the Nat Turner Rebellion which was one of the rebellion. On August 22, 1831 a group of slaves conjured up in Southampton County, Virginia for a bloody outlash on whites. Nat Turner who was a preacher felt as if it was God’s will and showed him a sign, and went from plantation to plantation gathering blacks and killing around

Furthermore the intelligentsia though relatively tiny since the existence of literate and educated Russians was limited, their size and influence grew in the 1970s. Some of the younger generations in the 1860s where inspired by the movement. The need for action was also encouraged by the works of a number of intellectual thinkers including Mikhail Bakunin. He believed that’s the state crushes individual freedom and should therefore be removed, this was a long term goal. The intelligentsia posed a threat to the tsarist regime this was because not only were they knowledgeable about western developments, many had travelled abroad, but also read, wrote in the press went to the theatre and were determined to change what they believed to be outmoded and inhabiting Russian ways. In 1862 a group of students published a manifesto titled Young Russia in which they argued that revolution was the only way forward. In 1862 a series of fires in St Petersburg destroyed over 2000 shops. This was a result of young Russia when they called for radical

Shays’ Rebellion started in 1786, when thousands of farmers and men marched into courthouses and prevented them from continuing business.

This downfall came due to the amount of soldier and horses being placed into the war leaving the peasants at home with a loss of man power to continue a, "standard of living"( Causes of the Russian Revolution 2). Due to the decrease in man power, and materials to use at the home front, prices increased and a hunger endemic began. With hunger increasing and inflation of prices continuing strikes began, which eventually stopped transportation. When the transportation stopped supplies and food did not get to the soldiers at war decreasing the amount of people who believed in the czar. The goal of the peasants of the Russian Revolution of 1917, was to gain a new leader and for their voices to be heard. In March 1917, a riot of peasants, and soldiers stormed the streets with the support of the Duma, a group of government officials, forcing Nicolas II out of power.

Land and Liberty relied on terrorism and murder. They evolved into the People’s Will group which assassinated Alexander II in 1881. Started around Lavroks ideals and frustration around the failure of the Narodniks. The state then exiled, killed and imprisoned them.

Winston Churchill once said, “Never give up on something that you can’t go a day without thinking about.” In the story Where the Red Fern Grows, by Wilson Rawls, the theme of the novel is never give up .

Soon however, the lower-classmen started to turn to the British for support against the rich colonists. With the intensification of the British conflict, the colonial leaders started to think of ways to unify themselves with the rioters to handle the British. But the Regulators, laborers, petitioned the government on their grievances and as a result a large riot broke out in 1770 in a court.

The rebellion began at the Stono River in St. Paul's Parish, near Charleston, South Carolina. Several factors played a role in the timing of the rebellion. It is likely that the slaves organized their revolt to take place before September

Alexander used a secret police force known as the Okhrama, to help him to govern Russia and give terror to those who opposed him. Over 5000 people were exiled or sentenced to hard labour by 1894, and by this, opposition was reduced. This

There were four elected Duma which were all dispersed by the Tsar who would find an excuse to not trust them. Once the October Manifesto and the Fundamental Laws were passed, the Tsar Nicholas II ordered the army to shoot at protestors but the army refused and took the side of the revolutionaries. These Fundamental Laws re-established the autocracy as the Tsar became more reactionary. After the 1905 Revolution, the Tsar was able to regain control the uprisings in his country. He sent the police to arrest the leader of the St. Petersburg Soviet, a Worker’s Council, Trotsky and exiled him to Siberia. The army crushed a strike in Moscow which caused 1000 deaths. The Black Hundred who were the official strikebreakers, stopped riots in different parts of Russia and murders approximately 500 Jews. Eventually, the workers lost the will to fight and started working again in order to feed their families. The split of the opposition parties turned out to be an advantage for the Tsar who was able to use this against them.

These were called liberals or ‘Cadets.’ The two other groups were more passionately opposed to the Tsar and believed revolution was the key to Russia’s problems. The Socialist Revolutionaries were a radical movement that believed violence was the only way to revolution, and support for them was wide spread. Their aims were to divide the huge estates from the nobility and hand them over to the peasants.

The Russian Revolution actually has two important parts to it the February Revolution (March 1917) and the October Revolution (November 1917). The February Revolution, which took place in modern day St. Petersburg, was lethal to the royal government of Russia. It began with the bread, it was not like they did not have the supplies for the population, “the problem was the breakdown of the transport system” (Figes 68). The February Revolution was also largely caused by the ineffectiveness of the Russian military in World War One and the failure of the Russian empire throughout the last couple decades. The people of Russia were ashamed of the military throwing away their lives and having to eat sparingly to survive the winter. Peasants were so poor they could barely afford a piece of bread for a week. Mass demonstrations were held in the squares and violence took to the streets. People ambushed the royal guards in front of the palace and they were shot down by the insignificant force left to guard the capital. The revolution was largely leaderless as Russian people just wanted food

Bacon’s Rebellion, Coode’s Rebellion, and Leisler’s Rebellion all happened between the dates of 1676-1691. Each rebellion was a cease or change of power. Whereas, in 1676, Nathaniel Bacon, recruited common men, John Coode used puritans and Jacob Leisler used his militia.

They were suffering under an asinine government and they took every opportunity to criticise it. The middle-classes were extremely unstable at this point in Russia but they were not ready for revolution. The stability of the government was erratic. It had a very narrow support base this was mainly due to that fact that it was willing to use extreme force and it sent out very anti-Semitic messages, which made it unpopular.
