The people who were sent there, however, only stayed for years at a time much like a prison sentence, while people sent to Nazi concentration

The American Revolution began on Apr 19, 1775, it was the war between Great Britain and its colonies located in the New World. The colonists, as many historians put it, were like children rebelling against the motherland. They had many valid reasons for this revolt. These reasons were mainly affected by the need for independence. My World History textbook says this freedom was falsely promised when the colonists had settled (Krull 868).

students were asked to find words for each letter of the word “MOTHER” that they can use to describe their mother. Then we helped them use those words to form sentences. They were also given some words with the word “mother” in it e.g. mother tongue, motherland, mother nature, etc. Then the students were asked what the word is for “mother” in their mother tongue and how they and their children address their mothers.

The fact that the colonists had to pay for the Seven Years War, which was fought on their behalf. The fact that the Brits wouldn’t let American settlers and landowners into the Ohio River

What good can come of disobedience? Many have asked—especially those who’ve been obedient their entire life. Since the time our foot has entered kindergarten, everyone was taught to be respectful and usually, that meant being compliant to our teachers. Being obedient was engraved into our heads at a very young age and that it'll lead us to a better future. Can we honestly say it's our future that we are leading?

Today it is hard to tell if the acquisition of these colonies was more beneficial or detrimental to their respective motherlands. Britain was the first European nation to imperialize.

accidents happened quite a lot for Okonkwo because he accidentally killed a higher up in the village during Ezeudu’s funeral and “he could not return to the clan after seven years” (124).
