The Failure Of The Insurrectionary Movement

The Europeans had became greedy and selfish. They had become reliant on the native Americans to do everything for them. They had made them do necessary tasks that they could have done themselves, but chose not too. They had made them carry them when they didn’t want to walk, feed them, fan them,carry their hammocks,etc. They had become conceited, thinking they were too “royal” to do anything for themselves. They had made the Native Americans slaves and servants to their every bidding no matter the circumstance. They had become puppets to the Europeans and they controlled the Natives and forced them to do whatever they wanted. They had made the Natives lose their dignity and sink so low by making them complete their every request. The Natives had been worn down and degraded to be known as nothing to the Europeans but servants and people who they could call to do something for them. Countless Natives had died because of what the Europeans had brought to them

The Populist Movement ultimately failed to survive because of their desire for inflation and the support for the coinage of silver, as well as the fact that they merged with the Democratic Party to combat the Republicans. The 1896 election undermined agrarian insurgency, and a period of rapidly rising farm prices helped to bring about the dissolution of the Populist Party. Another important factor in the failure of the party was its inability to affect a genuine urban-rural coalition; its program had little appeal for wage earners of the industrial east. Although the populists were not outright socialists, many conservative interests saw the Populists as a threat to the basic economic system of the United States. The Populists’ agenda was

The Rebellion of Upper and Lower Canada mainly occurred because of land issues, government inequality, and irresponsibility to the people. Power was held by a small group of noble elites, they can veto any law that hurts their status. Mainly controlled by wealthy English aristocrats / businessmen,

In this case, the conquering of land, being very crucial to settlers, is shown in history repetitively to cause tension and war; this situation is not much different. However, in the modern day, Canada is trying to better itself in regards to land claim cases, and have, for the most part, approached newer cases with much more knowledge and understanding. Secondly, the factor of psychology, in this case, is used instead as a term to envision the human reaction to new surroundings. Not excusable in any means, European settlers, as displayed by Columbus, were astounded by this difference in the lifestyle they reacted by self-thought superiority (Indigenous and Northern Affairs Canada, 2013). This was wrongly interpreted by many settlers, and sadly many Canadians today, as a stereotyped primitive nature; and thus induced a wrongful superiority within their heads. Modern-day interpretations can show that superiority is still found in our political systems; for example, western countries consistently refer to developing nations as third world countries, this entails that certain societies put themselves above others.

Economic imperialism is a central part of the ongoing contemporary colonization of indigenous peoples in Canada. Since the colonial era marked the beginning of imperialism in North America, an intricate web of power and domination have formed leaving Indigenous communities in the grip of its economic philosophy. This has led to the ongoing contribution to the disposition of Indigenous peoples in Canada. Economic imperialism can be defined as the need for countries to expand their territories in order to collect resources from their colonies. This illustrates the inherent unsustainability of colonial settler society. In this essay I will look at how the impacts of economic imperialism has had an effect on the development of the indigenous

Imagine having your identity and culture stripped away from you. This is what has happened to many Indigenous people throughout history in Canada. This has been done through the process of colonization. There are many devastating impacts of colonization that has affected Indigenous people all over Canada including racism and stereotyping as well as the downfall of the health of Indigenous people. Racism against Indigenous people has been a major impact of colonialism throughout the years. The racism and institutionalized racism has grown over the years and has made it complicated for many Indigenous people to practice their spirituality and culture. There are also many health consequences of colonization including starvation, disease, mental illness and addiction. There are many impacts of colonization that have affected Indigenous people throughout history and continue to impact them today.

Ever since the late 1400’s when the European discovered North America they brought along with them a practice of domination leaving the first nation people with very little rights forcing them to stand defenceless. Ever since the settlers arrived, the lives of the First Nation people have forever been damaged with the implementation of new ways of living. These changes have created an image

Often times, when it came to the discussion on equality within Canada, the actions of Canada were compared to those of the United States, and often times, a comment is made stating that the United States could learn from Canada’s example when it came to racial harmony. However, this idea was often criticized as the racial problems within Canada were just as severe. The respect and the livelihood of the First Nation were violated for years even before the start of the twentieth century. However, the issues of the First Nations were hardly ever brought to light by other Canadians because these issues were often hidden deep within the reserves that these First Nations were forced into. From taking their land away to disregarding their cultures, the government rarely ever acknowledged the needs of the First Nations until they could no longer be ignored. The government continuously stressed assimilation, especially with the Indian Act , and expected the First Nations

J.R. Miller’s article entitled “Victoria’s “Red Children”: The “Great White Queen Mother” and Native-Newcomer Relations in Canada” was published in July 2008 in the Native Studies Review, Vol. 17 Issue 1, p1 -23. The article examines how even though First Nations people suffered tremendously during Queen Victoria’s reign, they maintained their strong allegiance to the Crown mostly due to their kinship mentality. Miller notes that slowly but noticeably, by the end of Victoria’s reign the Great White Queen’s Red Children were beginning to adjust their rhetoric to use the Crown and imperial government at Westminster as counterweights against national and provincial governments within Canada that were oppressing them.

The most important aspect of this proposal deals with the aftermath of the Canadian insurrections. This will be of extreme to significance to the reader as the aftermath of the rebellion would change the destiny of Canada. After learning of the uprisings in the Canadian colonies the British parliament sent a commission to study the causes. Lord Durham was named governor on May of 1839 and was in placed in charge of establishing an inquiry into the rebellions. From this inquiry came a list of recommendations submitted to the parliament in London (Outlett, 275). Two recommendations in this report became extremely significant to Canadian history.

Martel demonstrates that new English nationalistic ideas (in response to immigration) brought new threats of assimilation towards this identity, particularly to French-Canadian citizens not living in Quebec.  French-Canadians, originally hesitant to colonize these Western Canadian areas were now encouraged to protect them as they saw these nations as isolated communities of French culture.  Finally, both Lacombe and Laplante demonstrate that when the Catholic Church had less influence on political and social institutions, the church became less of a defining concept of the French-Canadian identity.  These three, when grouped together, also provide a chronological overview of the rise and fall of Catholic influence among French-Canadian citizens.  Lacombe provides the reasons for the rise during the nineteenth century, and its subsequent decline in the early twentieth century.  Martel demonstrates how French-Canadian citizens were motivated to preserve their Catholic identity when they began to lose control of the Catholic dioceses outside Quebec during the late nineteenth and early twentieth century. Laplante explores the transition of Quebec to a more secular province in the 1960s, where the Catholic Church gave way for the province of Quebec to provide the national identity of French-Canadian citizens.

To an extent, the revolutions of the 1820s and 1830s did fail because they were too localised. Others suggest that there were other factors involved including: A lack of foreign support; Austrian influence; the secret societies and political parties had different aims and a lack of mass support from a combination of states across the peninsula.

The great ideas of why the revolutions in 1848 failed were, unable to come together, when the rebels rose against their rulers who were autocrats and reactionaries. These powers took advantage of the rebels’ insecurities, and so the rebellions could easily be stopped by the “head of state”. Then, there was doubt among the several races, living in the different countries of Europe. They looked upon each other with suspicion, hesitation and jealousy. Most of these races lived in the Austrian Empire. Finally, reactionary rulers of the different countries of Europe decided to help one another. For example when the people of the Italian regions rose in revolt against their rulers, Austria proposed to send in the military to help them. Peter N. Stearns,

“The story of post-revolutionary America,” writes Rosemarie Zagarri, “is the story of how American women and men sought to define – and ultimately to limit and restrict – the expansive ideals they had so successfully deployed against Britain.” In this excerpt from Revolutionary Backlash, Zagarri depicts the extreme radicalism of the American Revolution, while also suggesting that there were some constraints to its extremism. Unlike the normal way of life in European government and society, Americans desired a nation in which the inherent rights and freedoms of individuals were recognized and respected. While these rights and freedoms were ultimately achieved, many groups of people were still left out. Women of all kinds, people of color,

The Kramer family is living here in 1848 when revolution explodes throughout many European cities. This crisis starts with a major crop failure leading to a famine in 1846 and 1847 that has important and cumulative effects throughout society. The cost of food rises steeply in Krefeld and in other towns throughout Europe. It reduces the purchasing power available for other products such as clothing. Textile towns like Krefeld are devastated as markets collapse and creditors call in their loans. Bankruptcies cause severe pressure on the banks, some of which suspend activities early in 1848, placing Krefeld’s businesses and thousands of its workers at risk. Adding to the problem is a growing unemployment. There are bread riots and other forms of violent collective action in cities across Europe. The economic crisis erodes trust in the government. Riots spread throughout the Prussian cities including Bonn, Berlin, and Krefeld. These riots are led by the lower-class workers demanding an end to the high price of food and to their oppressive working conditions. Joining, and in some cases leading the riots, is the middle class. The middle class, led by doctors, lawyers, and merchants, are voicing a completely separate set of demands. They want to have a voice in the government’s decisions as well as the right to have free speech and a free press. Unfortunately for Theodore and thousands of other middle-class Germans, the Prussian army, remaining loyal to King
