What are some grievances that the colonists express in the declaration of independence

History
1 answer:
salantis [7]3 years ago
6 0

In the <em>Declaration of Independence</em>, Thomas Jefferson expressed various grievances of the colonists against the British, such as:

  • The king refused to assent to laws that were wholesome and necessary for the public good.
  • The king had forbidden colonial governors to enact laws or implement laws without his assent (which, as the prior point noted, he was in no hurry to give).
  • The king forced people to give up their rights to legislative assembly or forced legislative bodies to meet in difficult places that imposed hardships on them.
  • The king dissolved legislative assemblies and then refused for a long time to have other assemblies elected.
  • The king obstructed justice in the colonies and made judges dependent on his will alone for their salaries and their tenure in office.
  • The king kept standing armies in place in the colonies in peacetime, without the consent of the colonial legislatures.
  • The king imposed taxes without the colonists' consent.

There were more items listed by Jefferson, but you get the idea.  He was justifying revolution by proving tyranny was standard operating procedure by the British monarchy.

In a short paragraph, explain how totalitarian leaders used propaganda to strengthen their power during thr 1920s and 1930s
garik1379 [7]

the propaganda were used to create a false illusion of achievement and success of the leaders at the same time silencing the media not to report the contrary. propaganda tactics ensured that the mass was made to believe in the leadership achievements of these leaders. Whenever there seemed to be a gap between achievements and expectations of the masses, the leaders employed a pacifying form of propaganda known as racism and eugenics in Germany. propagandists leadership also ensured they not only deified the ruler but also presented them as almost undefeatable.

Some states and cities have official holidays on Juneteenth. In 1980, Texas established Juneteenth as an official state holiday.
alexandr1967 [171]

Answer: exact PLATO answer

Explanation:The weather is usually good in June, so cookouts are popular at these Juneteenth celebrations. People gather around open-pit barbecues, and almost every community has their own style to make barbecued beef or pork. Since beef and pork were not traditionally available every day in communities of freed enslaved people, this was a special treat. Warm summers also are great for drinking cold strawberry soda, also historically popular in these communities.

Younger family members learn about the history of their ancestors and communities at family reunions held during Juneteenth celebrations. As enslaved peoples, many of these ancestors were separated from family members when some family members were sold to other slave owners, so family was especially important to them.

Traditional songs, especially spirituals, are popular at Juneteenth celebrations. A song written as a poem by NAACP leader James Weldon Johnson called "Lift Every Voice and Sing" is often performed during these celebrations. It is a song that reflects the struggle of enslaved people to be free. Other popular forms of music that originated in African American communities, like blues and jazz, are also performed.

Community elders are often called on to discuss the history of Juneteenth and their communities. Local ministers lead prayers and the singing of spirituals. Some speakers teach younger community members the history of Juneteenth.
