History

5 0

Answer:

Their name does come from the Dorsetshire village of Tolpuddle, the place where the six farm workers were reported by a landowner of maintaining a secret connection with the union called Friendly Society of Agricultural Labourers. They are also called martyrs because their imprisonment made them popular heroes believed to have suffered by a just cause. They spent two years in an Australian jail before being released in 1837.

Explanation:

A martyr is someone who dies for a cause, and even though these men didn´t die, they did suffer greatly and became a symbol of the workers´ struggles.

What was president Cleveland's motivation in to restoring Liliuokalani to her throne
soldier1979 [14.2K]

Queen Liliuokalani was deposed in January 1893 by a group of American and European businessmen, with the support of U.S. Minister John Stevens and a contingent of U.S. Marines.

The Queen surrendered with hopes of being reinstated by President Cleveland. He had motivations to want her throne restored mainly on moral grounds. Because he opposed the conquest of a lesser state by a greater one as well as any form of annexation that would only be an excuse for illicit territorial acquisition.
