The date was March 22, 1765, the Stamp Act had just been passed, and the colonies were outraged. One Massachusetts family in particular was discussing it. The Miller family had a complex view about the Stamp Act. The mother, Maribeth was a patriot, and hated the stamp act, the father, George however, still disliked the Stamp Act, but this made his job very difficult, for he owned a mail and delivery system.

    The depth of hostility felt by many white Americans toward the Indians was very aggressive in my opinion. I personally do not understand why they were so cruel to the Native Americans when the Indians were there first. I understand the concept that they needed to have sustainability and needs, but I think the white Americans did it the wrong way. Next, I think the main goal of the Dawes Severalty Act of 1887 was to compromise and share the land equally with the Indians.

  • Stamp Act Summary And Analysis

    Parliament’s unpopular passage of the Sugar Act and Quartering Act came with little backlash from the colonists when in comparison to the Stamp Act (Schultz, 2011, p. 69). The colonist’s profound response was (1) because the Stamp Act placed a tax on goods used by those of higher education like merchants and lawyers rather than just layman; (2) because the tax was also passed in March and did not go into effect until November of 1765, which gave colonists an ample amount of time to organize against it; and (3) because the imposed tax was to pay the salaries of colonial officials rather than to regulate trade, which was a clear undermining of the colonial self-rule and an indication that Parliament was attempting to limit colonists’ liberties (Schultz, 2011, p. 69). Themed as “no taxation without representation,” colonists convened the Stamp Act Congress in October 1765 in which they vocalized their opposition to the tax. Most colonists called for a boycott of British goods, and some organized attacks on customhouses and homes of tax collectors (History.com Staff, 2009).

  • Rhetorical Analysis Of 'The Father Of American History' By William Bradford

    870 Words  | 4 Pages

    Bradford describes how bleak the people’s situation was, “especially in January and February, being the depth of winter, and wanting houses and other comforts; being infected with the scurvy and other diseases which the long voyage and their inaccommodate condition had brought upon them” (lines 10-12). The strategy of imagery used in the excerpt paints a picture of the Separatist’s trials and sufferings. The imagery allows the younger generations to mentally see the setting and scenery of the events and how it affected the people of the time. With great diction, Bradford explains how “in the time of most distress, there was but six or seven persons who to their great commendations, be it spoken, spared no pains night nor day, but with abundance of toil and hazard of their own health… did all the homely and necessary offices… willingly and cheerfully” (lines 13-15,16,17). In this example, Bradford uses the strategy of illustrative diction to establish a writing style that will emphasize these men and their importance during the winter.
