To understand the benefits and difficulties of travel accounts as primary sources, they need to be clearly defined and placed into their context. The main primary sources in I will be studying are British travel accounts produced between 1790 and 1800. Tim Young provides the basics for travel accounts stating, “The guiding principle of this book is that travel writing consists of predominantly factual, first-person prose of travels that have been undertaken by the author-narrator. It includes discussion

Throughout the years, war has been the source of much conflict between people. The past greatly affects the future and how it is shaped. It has been thought that the roots of future wars lie in the results of past wars. Undoubtedly, one of the underlying causes of the American Revolution was The French and Indian war.     The seven years war, also known as the French and Indian war lasted from 1756 to 1763.   It was caused from frontier tensions as both the French and the British sought to expand

The American Revolution was one of the most famous revolutions. It is when the United States got its independence. The conflict of this rose between the colonist and Great Britain. There are many events and conflicts that led up to it like the Boston tea party and the Boston massacre. The American Revolution was a time that the United States rose up and took back what they rightfully deserved. Starting in 1765 the American colonist refused the British parliament could tax them. This sparked the

The Liberty “When the people fear the government, there is tyranny,When governments fear the people, there is liberty.” ~Thomas Jefferson This poem means that when the people fear the government that means that the government is unfair but when the government fears the people there is freedom.This poem is one thing that drove the Boston Tea Party.It effected some upcoming battles.Also it happend because of …. wait can you guess what …...no well it was the tea act.This was important because it started

foreign attacks. In Plain Truth, Chalmers states that “The protection of our trade, while connected with Britain, will not cost a fiftieth part of what it must cost were we ourselves to raise a naval force sufficient for the purpose” (Chalmers7). The loyalists know that if the colonies were to follow through with separation from Great Britain, that the colonies not only would not be protected from foreign powers, but they would not be able to handle the cost it would take to raise up a navy, let alone

referring to a scar ISabelle got for disobeying her master. I choose this quote because it is an example of the attitudes the slaves had to have to survive. Slavery wasn't the only battle going on during this time. There was the battle between the loyalist and the rebels. All of England was under the rule of King George III, but some didn't want to be. These people were called Rebels and they wanted their independence and freedom from the British. In the book you will find information on battles during

themselves could ignore Congress and there was nothing that could be done by the national government and Congress had no power to get money. Another weakness was that Congress’ lack of power lead it unable to defend Loyalist from prejudice and bias from the states. For the Loyalists, property that was take was not paid back and neither was dept. In addition to the other points mentioned, another weakness has to deal with trade. Foreign countries did not want to trade with America because some citizens

declaration of their independence from Great Britain. Paine’s desire to connect with the common people is evident in his plain and easy to understand writing style; he wrote in an educated, but straight-forward manner. Dubbed a “political quack” by Loyalist, James Chalmers of Maryland in the Plain Truth (New), and accused of producing a “crapulous mass” by none other than John Adams, we see just two examples of the many attacks on Paine, who prevailed to

After the first world war the leaders of europe came together to discuss the boundaries of europe. British rule decided to separate ireland into two sides. North Ireland was created when the british government of Ireland Act in 1920 divided Ireland into two areas; the Irish Free State and the Northern Ireland Roman Catholics, who made up around one-third of the population of Northern Ireland, were largely opposed to the separation. The British took over , but only after many revolts and riots against

Arguably, the Civil War and the American Revolution remain the two most significant battles in American History, as both played a big role in how the nation is shaped today. Although the direct causes of each war are different, both wars share slight similarities in the issues that led to them. The issues that led to the Civil War are similar to those that led to the American Revolution in that they include things such as infringement on rights and taxation. Also, the issues share other similarities
