Paul Revere was a fairly well-known silversmith and engraver, based in Boston, in Colonial-Revolution era America. Following the Seven Years War of Britain prompting an economic recession, and the implementation of the Stamp Act of 1765, his lack of income prompted him to begin studying dentistry, and eventually befriend, Joseph Warren, a prominent member of a masonic lodge with strong ties to the Sons of Liberty, leading to his involvement in the group as well. From there, he used his engraving and printing capabilities to produce various inflammatory, hypercritical political pieces of artwork, protesting several things but primarily taxation, as well as use his high societal position among local artisans to influence them towards renouncing their political status as Loyalists, in favor of supporting the more militant Rebel/Whig side. Also, obviously, the midnight ride of Paul Revere, though occurring much later in the 1770's, is infamous.

Hitler was popular among his people because not only were they looking for a scapegoat to blame for their problems, but because in their eyes he was fixing Germany’s problems and making her into a powerful nation once more. Schools should cover the Holocaust so that the children of today can learn from the mistakes of yesteryears, and prevent such from happening again in our times. We can prevent such from happening again from teaching children the mistakes that lead to the genocide of ~6 million people, like the acceptance of violence and discrimination, the political manipulation of anger, scapegoating, and the unchecked thrive if the extreme far-right. Some people could deny the Holocaust because they can’t comprehend the scale, that six million people could be slaughtered in just a few years, or that they outright refuse to accept the facts for what they are. Yes, I believe that the Nazi soldiers were rightly arrested and charged for their war crimes, even though they were “only following their orders”. They could have easily refused such roles or refuse to follow their orders, but they chose to save themselves from their own death by allowing the deaths of six million people. People such as Oskar Schindler and Major Karl Plagge show that they did not have to blindly follow their orders, that they could use their morals and conscience to see what they were doing was horrible and inhuman.
