Many biased people claim the British started the Boston Massacre because they were the first shoot a gun. Truth is, American colonists had planned a simple riot for weeks before through a group of patriots called The Son's of Liberty. They had decided they were done paying so many taxes. The Son's of Liberty had brought their weapons which included the following; clubs for making rope, snowballs, clams, shells, and stones, to the corner of Devonshire and State Street where they knew the red-coats would see them as trouble. Although The Son's of Liberty and others, including children, had planned a small riot and had brought weapons, I don't believe they wanted to have five innocent man to lose their life and have six others become injured. The Son's of Liberty began throwing their weapons and shouting "FIRE IF YOU DARE" and "FIRE! FIRE!" as if they were the British Troops' commander.  The Son's of Liberty were antagonizing the British and began imitating Captain Thomas Preston as if he was demanding his men to fire.  

Because the american colonists were teasing the British soldiers, the red coated British Soldiers fired thinking it was Captain Thomas Preston demanding and threatening them to fire. Private Hugh Montgomery fired first  into the crowd causing the others to wrongfully go along with it. The British fired after many soldiers had been struck with the clubs of colonists and were brutally injured. The shots had then become protection of the British and self defense.

The death of five men and injuries to six other colonists were the effect of colonists wanting revenge for . Samuel Gray was killed due to a bullet in his head, James Caldwell from two shots in his back, Crispus Attucks died from two shots in his chest. Samuel Maverick and Patrick Carr got mortally wounded by bullets which later on led them to suffering while on the verge of death.

Recognize the practice of slavery and other forms of forced labor experienced
Nataliya [291]

The slavery has been a human practice for several millenniums, and it was practiced all over the world.

Explanation:

The slavery is something that the humans from all over the world were practicing unfortunately. This practice continued for millenniums, and it only stopped relatively recently. the period between the 13th and 17th century is a very important one when it comes to slavery, as it spread out much more and started to be practiced not just locally, but regionally and even between different continents.

East Africa and West Africa were using lot of slaves, and they were mostly enslaving people that were conquered and from weaker tribes on the outskirts.  They were forcing them to work in mining, or to lift and carry trade goods. Later, they started to sell slaves to the Europeans as they saw a great economic opportunity.

In Europe itself, the slavery was mostly found in the Balkan Peninsula, were the Ottomans were forcing the people to work for them, and took large percentage of their crops and money. The European nations that became imperial powers were buying slaves from Africa, and they moved them into the Americas, thus made it international slavery, establishing the Atlantic slave trade.

Southwest Asia in this period also had lot of slaves, most of which were people that didn't wanted to accept the Islam, so people of different religious backgrounds, of numerous ethnic and racial groups, that were caught, were enslaved and treated as animals.

sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

My best guess, the zagros mountains itd be isolation and protection...the same for the Syrian desert. the Taurus mountains look like they have a river running through them so it could be isolation and protection, or isolation and irrigation.....(wouldn't isolation in turn mean protection??) I would think so....so I'd go with isolation and irrigation if it were me.

the Tigres and Euphrates would bother provide irrigation and transportation and trade as they have large rivers running through them
