The Rebellion: A Personal Statement

The rebellions of Upper and Lower Canada were in the interests of self-government but were doomed to failure from their beginning. Each of these two colonies encountered a great deal of problems right from the institution of the Constitution Act of 1791 and the problems continually got worse until the only choice to some seem to be rebellion. There were several problems that lead to the rebellions of 1837-38. In Lower Canada there was the agricultural crisis that caused a large number of starvations, to the French and English political and social problems within the colony. There were several different reasons that caused the rebellion in Upper Canada but these caused were mainly rooted in

In the remarkably known movie, “Rebel without a Cause”, is one of the finest movies ever, depicting on teenagers and rebellion. The movie begins with the main character, Jim Starks, being drunk and taken into the police station. This girl, Judy was also in the station, complaining about her dad to one of the police officer and John, referred to as Plato, is also in the station talking to an officer about the crime he committed, killing puppies. So, Jim’s parents come to get him and they begin disputing, which is why Jim is drunk in the first place. He refers to his home as a “zoo” several times throughout the movie, because his parents are always arguing. His dad doesn’t stand up to his mother which irritates him.

Nat Turner’s Rebellion also known as the Southampton County Rebellion or the Southampton Insurrection, was a revolt led by Nat Turner and fellow slaves in 1831. It is remembered as one of a handful of antebellum slave revolts that profoundly changed the attitudes of white Americans toward slavery, and may, in fact, have had the most significant lasting impact on the politics of slavery and on the way slavery is remembered as an institution in American cultural memory. The rebellion itself lasted no more than two days, but the effects resulted in laws being passed restricting education and religious affairs for black slaves, as well as the tightening of militia efforts to prevent another uprising. The change in mindset over slavery

With the European discovery of the New World, African slave trade began to grow. Slaves were traded and bought and then shipped to some other place and then sold. Europeans would trade things for slaves then bring them to places like the West Indies and sell them. They would then buy goods and bring the goods back to Europe. This was the triangular trade system. Slaves played a vital role in trade all over the world, old and new. Although African slavery had already existed, there were many reasons as to why it was needed during the Atlantic World and there were many effects of this.

Just a year ago, we were all either participating in or witnessing a rebellion; Shay’s Rebellion.

While rebellion is not always a healthy thing, as a result of Shay’s Rebellion we have learned many things about financial hardship after the Revolutionary War, how this affected masses of people, and how rebellion has shaped America today. Daniel Shays was one of the main leaders of the rebellion known as Shay’s Rebellion that occurred from 1786 to 1787, what Jonathan Smith says to be “one the most dramatic and significant incidents in the critical post-Revolutionary War period.” (Smith 77) With the Revolutionary War coming to an end in September of 1783, America, and its citizens, were struggling not only financially, but also politically. Financial struggles stemmed from the massive debt that the U.S. acquired

Have you seen those weird music festival T-shirts that people wear and wonder what someone could possibly want to wear that for? While they’re sometimes meant to catch attention of people so they may want to look up the festival, it also serves as a reminder for many amazing memories for the two or three-day event. For a long time now music has changed people’s lives in many ways. It has brought people to fame and lifted many out of depressions. But, to those who haven’t experienced a festival, or even live music in general, you have been missing out an amazing social experience like no other. From the kings of festivals like Woodstock or Coachella to the lesser known ones like Rock on the Range (Hard rock/metal based) and Day for Night (variety) there are hundreds to pick from. One of my favorites is Carolina Rebellion which takes place right in this state.

From an early age, my father taught me to stand up for what I believed in. He always told me to never back down from a fight. It was for that reason that he joined the revolutionary effort. He never agreed with the King of Great Britain and all of his abuses against us, the colonists. It was because of people like my father that this beautiful nation was built. It is also the reason why I get so angry to see injustices and misuses of power by those who lead our nation that represents freedom. How can we trust the leaders of this free nation when they are abusing their power? Fortunately for all of us, there is a way to curb the power of these “leaders” and the Supreme Court proved it with

Leisler’s Rebellion, started by Jacob Leisler, disagreed with British rule and took over the government. This rebellion created a division of people who were for and against his cause. Governor Robert Hunter was able to make New York at ease again, but governor William Cosby started the controversy over salary funds. Lewis Morris, who was a member of the supreme court, disagreed with Cosby and because of that he was relieved of his duties and he established the New York Weekly Journal to make light of the injustice. The paper taken down two months later and editor, John Zenger, was arrested and freed of charges because of the right to free press. Pennsylvania was made up of two parties: the Proprietary and the Quakers. Neither of them agreed

Shay’s Rebellion, in many history books, is often given no more than a short paragraph. This leads many people to believe that the rebellion was unimportant to the constitutional history of the United States. However, as is often the case, truth is rarely ever that simple. The real story of Shay’s Rebellion is complex and long and, most importantly, highly influential in America’s constitutional history.

When the Canadian Government became the main ruling power of this land, they, of course, had to create laws and boundaries, and other things of the same, just like a proper country should. However, this certainly did not benefit every group involved, specifically the Metis. The population of the Buffalo was dwindling, which was their most important food source, and without it, their culture and way of life would be completely ruined. They tried to sustain themselves, but as you would guess, it was no use. They began starving, so their last option was to call for help from the Canadians. This was fantastic news for the Government, as they could trade the Metis food and small plots of land, for their much

The Rebellion [KF1] of 1885 has had long-lasting effects of the First Nations, their political efforts, and their way of life. A study of the events leading up to the Rebellion of 1885 reveal a dispute between the First Nations people and the North-West government authority over treaty rights and land settlement. Historical media reports and surveillance data claimed the First Nations people joined the Metis in an revolt; however, there is evidence that government authorities used the events before, during and after 1885 to aid in their pre-existing campaign to suppress First Nations’ political efforts in order to secure their land for settlement and assist in colonialization.

Throughout the years many historians have compilated and examined why Indian people were so desperate to gain back their independence from the British Empire during their rule over India, from 1612 to 1947. The reasoning can most definitely be found as the British discriminated against Indian people as they believe that they were inferior; it is no surprise that Indian people fought so hard for their independence. Throughout the British Raj, they placed and put forward unbelievably racist acts and laws which discriminated against Indian people. Which of course led to Indians to rebel against the British rule and which the British reacted with causing massacres. Explaining the nationalistic many India’s felt during the British Raj.

In life there are many situations where rebellion is required for change and improvement. Some are simple, like growing up and learning not to do certain things and others are more complex like when a group of people stand up for what they believe, for example, women’s rights and black’s rights. I believe that rebellion is healthy for any growing society. There are many things that we do not agree with, whether it is the law or our parent’s instructions. By rebelling we can change our society and/or ourselves for better.
