History

Travka [436]2 years ago

On June 13th, the leaders of the colonial forces learned that the British were planning to send troops into Charlestown. In response, 1,200 colonial troops under the command of Col. William Prescott quickly occupied Bunker Hill on the north end of the peninsula and Breed's Hill closer to Boston. By the morning of the 16th, they had constructed a strong redoubt on Breed's Hill and other entrenchments across the peninsula.  The next day, the British army under General William Howe, supported by Royal Navy warships, attacked the colonial defenses. The British troops moved up Breeds Hill in perfect battle formations. One of the commanders of the improvised garrison, William Prescott, allegedly encouraged his men to “not fire until you see the whites of their eyes.” Two assaults on the colonial positions were repulsed with significant British casualties; the third and final attack carried the position after the defenders ran out of ammunition. The colonists retreated to Cambridge over Bunker Hill, leaving the British in control of Charlestown but still besieged in Boston. The battle was a tactical victory for the British, but it proved to be a sobering experience, involving more than twice the casualties than the Americans had incurred, including many officers. The battle demonstrated that inexperienced Continental militia could stand up to regular British army troops in battle.

How did Japanese Americans feel during WWII?
stiks02 [169]

After the Royal Japanese marines attacks on Pearl Harbor The US citizens felt panic, especially the West Coast resident, so reprisals were taken against the Japanese who lived in the western part of the country, in the states of California, Arizona, Oregon and Washington.

Concentration camps for Japanese in the United States accommodated some 120,000 people, mostly ethnic Japanese, more than half of whom were American and Japanese citizens from Latin America, mainly from Brazil and Peru, who were deported under pressure from the US government, in establishments designed for that purpose in the interior of the country, during 1942 and 1948.

The objective was to move them from their habitual residence, mostly on the west coast, to facilities built under extreme security measures. The fields were closed with barbed wire, guarded by armed guards, and located in places far from any population center. Attempts to leave the camp sometimes resulted in the dejection of the inmates.

For all of the above, American citizens of Japanese origin felt like prisoners of war, hostages of a situation they did not choose and in which they did not act.

aleksley [76]

Answer:

This question is incorrect, the correct question should be

What were some ways that Northerners defied the Fugitive Slave Act?

Explanation:

The Fugitive Slave act was Part of the Compromise of 1850 . That anyone that helped a fugitive could either be fined or imprisoned. Though Some Northerners resisted, declined and refused to obey the new law.

Henry David Thoreau in his essay of 1849 titled "Civil Disobedience," wrote that if the law "requires you to be the agent and cause of injustice to another, then I say, break the law."

The Northerner juries declined to convict people who were accused of breaking this new law.

People gave out money to buy freedom for the enslaved people, and the Freed African Americans and whites formed a network, or an interconnected system, called the "Underground Railroad" which is intended to help runaways to find their way to freedom.

Later in 1953, Democrat Franklin Pierce became the president and he intended to enforce the Fugitive Slave Act upon assuming office
