Answer:

In 1780, the Boston financiers and shipowners used the state constitution to reserve the right to vote only to the owners. Controlling the legislature, they levied various taxes for the repayment of the debts of the war against Great Britain, and pursued lawsuits against the largely ruined civilians in western Massachusetts.

At the end of the war of independence, the thirteen newly independent colonies were in a difficult situation. Many citizens got into debt during the conflict. However, independence had resulted in a contraction of trade between the West Indies and the port of Boston. English manufacturers, as soon as the peace returned, put pressure on governments to ensure that importers in Massachusetts accomplished their claims. These blow harassed retailers who did the same with farmers. The difficulties of the indebted citizens were all the greater as the creditors demanded to be paid in metallic money (gold, silver or copper) and refused paper money, payments in kind or title deeds. At first, the peasants asked the state to compel the creditors to accept the paper money but the Massachusetts assembly refused. Taken by the throat, some citizens revolted, led by Daniel Shays.

Daniel Shays was a farm worker in western Massachusetts. He joined the revolutionary troops in 1775. He ended the war with the rank of captain. After his demobilization in 1780, he had to wait a long time for his payment. But very quickly, his debts increased, and the bitterness of having fought for a republic which gave him nothing grew up.

The rebels were small farmers revolted by their debt and the increase in taxes. They formed a militia of 1,200 men, and attacked Springfield in January 1787. They also launched a campaign of intimidation against traders in western Massachusetts.

Massachusetts asked for help in Congress. Most states, however, refused to mobilize the resources necessary to suppress the revolt by individual selfishness. Massachusetts formed a state militia under the leadership of Benjamin Lincoln. To cope, the rebels sought to seize the federal arsenal of Springfield that would provide them with all the weapons they needed. But Lincoln's militia was faster than them and took control of the arsenal. The rebels were finally beaten and then sentenced to death and amnestied.

Why is the Japanese -american interment camps so important for new citzens to understand?
posledela

Because the internment broke several conditions of the Bill of Rights of the Constitution (in the United States). The same thing happened in Canada. I've lived in 2 communities that interred the Japanese during WWII. I find they have varied in their response to what happened to them during the war, but for the most part, they are model citizens. They have been very forgiving of their treatment.

It is important for every citizen to remember to defend the Constitution. The rights of citizens cannot be taken away on a whim. Every safeguard must be fully exercised or the Constitution is just a piece of paper.

New Citizens should remember that rights are conditional. If treason is involved the Constitution will not provide adequate protection. If obedience is required, it should be given. That's the balance between the Bill of Rights and  allegiance to another country. The internment should never have happened and wouldn't have in normal times.

mylen [45]

The answer is d: huge numbers of Africans died within a few years of arriving in the Americas. Many Africans who were captured were put in cramped conditions where many of them did not survive the trip.  Those who did were sold and were made to work on plantations.  Some slaves where whipped if they angered their masters while others died either from over worked or cruelty.
