Watts Rebellion And Rebellion

McKay describes one of the agitators of the Harlem riots, Sufi Hamid and the organization, the Negro Industrial and Clerical Alliance. This organization began the fight for African Americans rights to jobs on 125th street by picketing the merchants. After many influential persons joined the picket lines

I was an African American storeowner during the Watts Riots in LA in the 1960s. I witnessed the destruction of my neighborhood. I witnessed the pain and despair that overwhelmed so many people because they were a part of a state that did not care to fix the issues that their urban cities were facing every day. Countless of individuals were filled with so much anger and loss of hope for a better future.

Starting in the 1869, with the purchase of the Rupert’s land, Canada had encountered many issues dealing with a distant and unsatisfactory connection between the Canadian government and western Canada. Ignoring land claims, not respecting treaty rights and bringing fear of being pushed off the land, the government caused a growth in frustration for Aboriginal groups in the west during the 1880s. In 1885, the North-West Rebellion started when the Métis, lead by Louis Riel, created a provisional government and a small military force to act against government troops. Having enough of an unsupportive government, the Métis people started the North-West Rebellion, in order to prevent the loss of their land in present-day Saskatchewan and Alberta.

In the late 1800s and the early 1900s, labor was anything but easy. Factory workers faced long hours, low pay, high unemployment fears, and poor working conditions during this time. Life today is much easier in comparison to the late 1800s. Americans have shorter days, bigger pay and easier working conditions. Not comparable to how life is today, many riots sparked, and citizens began to fight for equal treatment. Along with other important events, the Haymarket Riot, the Pullman Strike, and the Homestead strike all play a vital role in illustrating labor’s struggle to gain fair and equitable treatment during the late 1800s and early 1900s.

The Watts riots began in the summer of 1965, in a city in Los Angeles called Watts. It all began with the arrest of a young African American by a white California Highway Patrol officer. Now, it was not because he was arrested for already doing something illegal, it was for the way the police officer treated the individual. According to Lacine Holland, an eyewitness to the arrest, the officer “took him and threw him in the car like a bag of laundry and kicked his feet in and slammed the door.” (Flournoy) This caused lots of unrest among the fellow residents of Watts. This was just the beginning of years of pent up oppression for the minorities, which participated in the event. Similarly, in 1992, the Rodney King riots also arose due to the acquittal of four Los Angeles Police Department officers for their brutal beating

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.

Another reason for the discontent and anger leading up to the Watts County riots was the competition between minority groups. Rather than pulling together and uniting in their battle for equality as one might expect, they instead formed strong rivalries that lead to fierce conflict for the limited resources not already taken by white people. Also many white people preferred to hire lighter-skinned minorities, most of whom were Chicanos. This caused unrest within the black community, who were angry and upset as this meant there were very few jobs left available.

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.

During the earlier years of history, people from Britain came over to the new world, or what is now known as the United States due to overpopulation. Britain began unfairly taxing the British colonists in the new world to raise money for the costs of the French and Indian war. This unfair taxation, which ultimately was stripping the colonists of their right to self-govern, caused them to want to declare their independence. The Americans established a government separate from the British one due to the previous overpowerment inflicted by the British government. The Americans used their enlightenment beliefs to define the new nation.

The end of the Revolution was not the end of political turmoil in the United States. In the years following the Revolution, political parties were forming and disbanding which then led to rebellions starting. The future of what the country looked like was seen differently by each political faction. All of the conflicting views of American politics began to manifest into governmental affairs because of the imposed tax on distilled spirits made by the federal government to pay off the nation’s debts from the American Revolution. This tax was only to be paid in cash, which was particularly hard on the small frontier farmers because of the fact that they bartered and did not have access to currency. Protests ran by frontiersmen occurred because

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.

Next, we meet Thomas Anderson. We find him sleeping in front of his computer after a long night of software hacking. The computer begins typing messages to him saying "Neo, wake up". Neo is Thomas' online alias. He wakes up to read these messages about how he should follow the white rabbit. Next thing that happens is Neo gets a knock on the door while talking to the people at the front door they invite him out to the club that night. Neo at first declines but then see's a white rabbit tattoo on the lady's back. After seeing this Neo takes it as a sign and agrees to join them for the night (The Matrix, 1999).

I think that the peasants were a major part of the rebellions against the government. For example, there were three peasant uprisings in Mexico but only the last one was successful because it had a strong leader. While the peasants made up a big majority they were ineffective until they had a leader.

“The eighty years’ war” or “Dutch war of independence” was the tale of the rebellion against political and religious dominion of Habsburg Netherlands over the Europe. The first symptom of revolt started in 1568, when the Seventeen Provinces started rioting against Philip II of Spain. In response, Philip II, who found his throne in jeopardy, deployed his armies to regain control over ten of the rebelling provinces. Yet the northern provinces left the battle fields and continued their resistance. By 1581, eventually, the remaining rebellion provinces were able to oust the Habsburg armies out of their lands, and established the Republic of the Seven United Netherlands. In the following years, the war continued, although, the heartland of the republic
