After the Battle of Bunker Hill, General Howe and the British realized that this war with the colonists would not be easy. Along with this, General Howe realized that this war would cost a lot of British lives.
The Battle of Bunker Hill is remembered as a strategic win for the British. However, the American colonists are remembered for their efforts in this battle. The American colonists were able to stop the British advancement multiple times. It was not until the third time that the British were successful in taking over the hill. This resiliency by the unorganized and under-supplied troops should that the colonists would be able to put up a fight against the world's strongest military at this time.
Philosophy would be the answer :)
<span>This change happened gradually. Quakers were some of the first people in the Americas to own slaves. However, objections were brought up by Dutch Quakers in the 18th century that changed the Christian sect's outlook on owning slaves.
From these objections, Quakers gradually stopped owning slaves and became some of the most vocal abolitionists. The Quaker biblical justification was in the verse Matthew 7:12 which stated that Christians had a responsibility to adhere to a higher standard of living morally. The Quakers did not believe owning slaves was a part of living up to these standards.</span>
The painting was created in response to the bombing of Guernica, a Basque country village in northern Spain. Hope this helps:)
