Boston Tea Party French And Indian
1,326 words
George Washington was promoted to lieutenant
colonel by Governor Dinwiddie in 1754 with orders
to attack the French fort Fort Duquesne.
Washington was inexperienced in battle and
inevitably blew his assignment. While marching
towards Fort Duquesne, Washington and his men came
upon a French reconnaissance party. Washington
attacked with victory and fled the area to prepare
for the French retaliation. Washington ordered his
men to construct a fort as a meager means of
defense from attack. This for...

Continental Congress West Indies
2,032 words
The Continental Congress met in one of the most
conservative of the seaport towns from which the
revolutionary movement stemmed. Philadelphia
patriots complained that there was more Toryism in
Pennsylvania than in all the colonies combined;
certainly the Quakers who dominated the province
were more concerned in putting down radicalism at
home than resisting tyranny from abroad. The
character of the delegates who assembled in
Philadelphia in September 1774 was likewise a good
augury to the conser...

to Great Britain. The conditions of rights of the

constriction of the parliament becomes more and
more intolerable. During the Seven Years' War
England was not only alarmed by the colonists'
insistence on trading with the enemy, but also
with Boston merchants hiring James Otis in order

Americans fought very had to receive their
independence from England. Their determination of
self-rule was evident from the very beginning.

Slavery The fact that slavery should exist in the
United States was an anomaly, for the law of
England when the colonies were planted recognized
neither chattel slavery nor villeinage. Yet forced
labor was not unknown in England: the apprentice
must serve his seven years, and take such
floggings as his master saw fit; the hired servant
must carry out his contract for his term of
service; the convicts, often including political
offenders, were slaves of the state and sometimes
sold to private own...

the warm, clear, shallow waters of tropical oceans
worldwide. Reefs have functions from providing
food and shelter to fish and invertebrates to
protecting the shore from erosion. Unfortunately,
as our understanding of corals and coral reefs
increases, it becomes apparent that the effects of
the human population on these communities may be
increasing as well. Reef-building (or hermatypic)

Like any other great event in history, there was
much more to the Revolutionary War than is seen on
the surface. It is true that the war was fought
for intellectual freedoms, as well as political
and economical freedoms. However, the mere ideas
of free intellect and politics and economics could
not have grown into a nation-wide motive for war
without gossips, rumor mills, pamphlets, or
boycotts. The social aspect of the Revolutionary
War enabled the growth of the intellectual,
