What brought the American army to the brink of mutiny and a coup d’état in 1783?

History
1 answer:
Andrej [43]4 years ago
4 0

Most of the American soldiers had not been paid in months and many of the promised pensions never came.

The American revoluntionary war was fought by a lot of paid militias who were being paid a good salary.

Once the war was coming to a close, these soldiers were not paid on time and many of the injured and veterans never got the pension funds they were promised.

Eventually, this was creating unease among the soldiers. There were even talks of a coup d'etat against the United States Congress. The event is also known as the Newburgh Conspiracy.

George Washington personally stepped in to ensure that the young democracy was derailed. He gave an emotional speech on the importance of the congress and eventually reached a settlement where paid some of the unsettled salaries and instead of offering half-pay pensions, settled on paying full salary for 5 years.

Why was the government in massachusetts bay colony the most radical in colonial america?
Bad White [126]

The correct answer is A. The government was guided by religious principles.

Explanation:

The Massachusetts bay colony was one of the first colonies created by settlers in North America and was founded in the 17th century, during this century and subsequent centuries the colony developed with a population and government that were mainly Puritan. Indeed most of the population that migrated from England to Massachusets colony were Puritans and because of this in terms of government only those that followed this religion were elected, besides the policies of the colony were the most radical due to this, as other religions were not tolerated and later there were laws that regulated appropriate behaviors according to religion. Considering this, the reason the government in Massachusetts bay colony was the most radical was that the government was guided by religious principles.
