What act of treason was committed by the continental congress?

1 answer:

3 0

The American delegates pleaded with George III to attempt peaceful resolution and declared their loyalty to the Crown. The King refused to receive this petition and instead declared the colonies to be in a state of rebellion in August. Insult turned to injury when George ordered the hiring of HESSIAN mercenaries to bring the colonists under control. Americans now felt less and less like their English brethren. How could their fellow citizens order a band of ruthless, foreign goons? The moderate voice in the Continental Congress was dealt a serious blow.

As the seasons changed and hostilities continued, cries for independence grew stronger. The men in Philadelphia were now wanted for treason.

They continued to govern and hope against hope that all would end well.

IceJOKER [234]

Answer:

George Lucas and Disney took heavy inspiration from the Nazis to the empire/first order. a few examples follow:

In episode 7 General Hux's speech before firing Star Killer base is eerily similar to a speech from Adolf Hitler

The Storm Troopers act like the Gestapo (Nazi Police)

The TIE fighter makes a sound as it attacks similar to the Jericho Trumpets on the German Ju-87 Stuka

The term "Storm Trooper" came from a term for German soldiers.

The empire uniforms look similar to Nazi official uniform

About how long was california a part of mexico before it became a u.s. state?

nikitadnepr [17]

The area became a part of Mexico in 1821 following its successful war for independence, but was ceded to the United States in 1848 after the Mexican–American War. The western portion of Alta California then was organized and admitted as the 31st state on September 9, 1850.
