On the evening of March 5, 1770, with a foot of snow on the ground, groups of Bostonians gathered around the Custom House on King Street. Some had buckets of water, after responding to a fire alarm. Others had clubs to defend themselves or perhaps to threaten the despised “lobsterbacks.” Private Hugh White was, in fact, being threatened by several wigmakers’ apprentices (Aron 24). When Captain Thomas Preston heard of Private White’s situation, he came with seven other soldiers to help. Words

Boston was founded on September 17, 1630 and has a rich historical background making it a very important city in the United States. “The city of Boston was the home to several important events during the American Revolution such as: the Boston Massacre, Boston Tea Party, the Siege of Boston, Battle of Lexington

The Boston Massacre is considered by many historians to be the first battle of the Revolutionary War. The fatal incident happened on March 5 of 1770. The massacre resulted in the death of five colonists. British troops in the Massachusetts Bay Colony were there to stop demonstrations against the Townshend Acts and keep order, but instead they provoked outrage.

The Boston Massacre On March 5, 1770, colonists were taunting a British sentry outside the Customs House. This was common for a day in colonized America. However, this day was more meaningful than any other before. The British sentry retaliated causing a considerable mob of colonists to get involved. Then some more British came to aid their comrade.

The practice of and belief in witchcraft varies across different cultures and societies. Significantly, while no single culture is right or wrong about its beliefs, the majority of cultures that do believe in witchcraft believe it to be a work of evil. The belief that the manipulation of magic and spells is considered the work of the devil and causes more damage than comfort still exists.

Cinema has a power to depict politics not only at its face value but to explore its dark corners. It has a chance to reveal, criticize, and satirize the national politics and social attitudes of the time. Watching and discussing politics reflected in a number of American films from the 60’s and one from the early 70’s, opened up a window for me to observe tones and attitudes of these filmmakers towards the American politics. In addition, these movies give an honest inside look into the branches of

Religion and Law In Hawthorne’s The Scarlet Letter, the narrator is critical of the citizens of Boston for blindly following religious ideology—due to the absence of separation of church and state—and harshly persecuting Hester as a result. A woman cries, “[Hester] has brought shame upon us all, and ought to die. Is there not law for it? Truly there is, both in the Scripture and the statute book,” emphasizes the woman’s harsh disapproval of Hester and her desire that Hester should be executed because
