How does the engraving tell a different story from the above description of the boston massacre

History

Studentka2010 [4]3 years ago

The engraving of the Boston Massacre, created by Paul Revere, shows the Boston Massacre as an incident when the British military opens up fire on a group of unarmed colonists. In this engraving, it appears that the colonists are peaceful and that the attack is unprovoked.

However, what the engraving does not show, is the fact that this started due to American colonists protesting and throwing objects at the British military trying to maintain order.

Paul Revere exaggerates what the Boston Massacre looked like in order to persuade colonists that the British military was tyrannical. This would be used as a piece of propaganda to persuade some colonists to join the independence movement that was gaining momentum at this time.

The engraving shows the British soldiers shooting at peaceful unarmed colonists and gives the impression that more than 5 people were killed. This is an example of colonial propaganda.

Do you think Adams was pleased with the verdict? Why or why not?
Harrizon [31]

Answer:

★ Adams decided to represent the British soldiers who were charged with murder in the Boston Massacre. The reason for this was that no one would actually volunteer to act as the defense attorney in this case. Adams, as the defense attorney, had to put his client's interest first, regardless of who they were. For these reasons, he was likely displeased with the verdict because his clients were not found guilty of a lesser crime of manslaughter.

Explanation:

Hope you have a great day ;-)

Are there any complanies like.the East India Companies in existance today? how are they different?
Hunter-Best [27]

Answer

British East India Company. It turns out, that India was never originally colonized by the British crown, but by a multinational company (MNC). Robert Clive, who won the Battle Of Palashi (‘Plassey’ for ‘Hey bear, ek gin and tonic idaar!’ folks), was an employee (‘Team Leader’ in 21st-century terms) of the world’s first public limited company. (Britons had equity stakes and to make favorable trading deals, the company ended up having an army.)That hired army ended up ousting the weak-by-then Mughals and accidentally ended up with a nation. Ours. Yes, a large company, so influential and powerful, that it made laws of another nation. The modern equivalent would be if, say, Coca-Cola removed the Chinese premier and started running it. It’s unheard of, mad. But that’s what happened, and that is how I am writing this column in English and you’re reading it in English, both parties pretending as we folks have always been English speakers and writers. All because a bunch of company middle management wanted to protect their investments and threaten some nabobs for their tea and silk and spice and opium trade. And the company’s armies also meted out their version of justice. This begs the question: can a company do that? Today, if you visit the dockland area of London from where the East India Company ships once sailed, hundreds a day to rule Calcutta, Bombay, and Madras, there’s a wildlife reserve, a jogging track, an indoor concert hall called the O2 Arena, a bunch of suburban high-rises that look a bit like Whitefield in Bengaluru, and an HSBC call center. Zero signs that it was once the epicenter of the imperial world, ruling 3/4th of the planet with trade.
