    Abigail is the young girl who leads the charge against the supposed witches of Salem. She uses her position as one of the accusers to manipulate and control the people around her. She is able to convince the court officials that the accused are guilty, and is able to turn the community against those who oppose her. Abigail's power over the other girls is demonstrated when she threatens them with physical harm saying “Let either of you breathe a word, or the edge of a word, about the other things, and I will come to you in the black of some terrible night and I will bring a pointy reckoning that will shudder you. And you know I can do it; I saw Indians smash my dear parents’ heads on the pillow next to mine, and l have seen some reddish work done at night, and l can make you wish you had never seen the sun go down” (575).

  • Samuel Adams Father Of The American Revolution By Mark Puls

    631 Words  | 3 Pages

    One important aspect of this book that was new to me was Samuel’s struggle of child fatalities with his wife Elizabeth Adams among other severe personal troubles that Adams suffered. Puls continued on to display Adams’s difficulty in finding and maintaining a suitable career and Adams’s slow growth into politics. Puls heavily details Adam’s opposition of British taxation and ideals of independence for the Colonies (which at the time were very uncommon) with both the Stamp and Townshend Acts but completely ignores the question of Adam’s involvement in the Boston Massacre (beginning my suspicion of Puls’s motives) (Puls). Despite crudely ignoring the Adam’s possible role in The Boston Massacre, Puls moves on to explain Adams’s involvement in Tea Act, The Boston Tea Party, and Coercive Acts (Puls).

    Several people equate being politically active to voting, however, even though women were denied the right to vote, historians and scholars recognize that women still played an active political role throughout the “Revolutionary Period”. The passing of the Townshend Act played part in growing women’s political self-awareness. One way that women were politically active was by boycotting British goods. They homespun their cloth rather than using imported cloth. They also substituted herbal teas and coffee after the British placed new regulations on imported non- British tea.

    The “point of no return” for the American Revolution to occur, the event that sparked the beginnings of the American Revolution, was The Boston Tea Party. The Boston Tea Party was one of the last biggest protests against England’s “Intolerable Acts”, as the colonists liked to call them. Neither the colonies nor did Britain really want to seperate, but the situation they were in caused them to. England was being very controlling over the colonies because they were of great economical benefit to them. The colonies were reluctant to even consider separation because all they really wanted was their rights.
