Boston Massacure Essay
The night of the boston massacure was the fireing into a crowd by british soldiers, killing citizins who were defenceless. Though not many people were killed, this is still a massacure because it was a group of ordinary citizins that were attacked, not armed soldiers. I believe that the british soldiers are responsible for what happoned because they should be more disciplined, and not fire their weapons into crowds that have women and children amungst them. If they were being attacked, they should have chosen a different course of action to disarm their attackers, not kill innocent people. In my opinion, the british soldiers that were involved should have been punished, which would to be hanging. These soldiers should recieve this punishment because they are not like the citizins that were killed, they are trained soldiers who can respond to a threat with deadly force.

Benjamin Church provided vital leadership to protect the colonies during King Philip's War. Despite all of this violence, the colonies were also founded on religious idealism. It is important to understand the full history of these areas because this is what Americans generally consider to be our nation's beginning.
Miles Standish contributed important protection to the early colonies by using violence. The first way he uses violence is by making Thomas Morten leave America because he associates with the Indians.

Through these actions, miles Standish contributes to establishing the colonies by using violence.
Benjamin Church provided vital leadership to protect the colonies during King Philip's War. For example, Ben Church first uses violence when he defends the river bank against three hundred Indians without suffering a single loss, escaping on canoes. Secondly when King Phillip is killed by Ben Church, they put his head on a pike. Furthermore within a matter of only two months, he captures seven hundred Indians, and holds them captive. Through these actions, Benjamin Church contributes to establishing the colonies by using violence.
Despite all of the violence, the colonies were also founded on religious idealism. First the Pilgrims came to the new world because they wanted their religious freedom. Secondly the Pilgrims came to America to find land, that they could own for themselves. Lastly the Pilgrims wanted all of them to be educated, in order to read the bible. This proves that the colonies were based on idealism.

Final Essay
When the German congress building was burned down, Germany found itself in a terrorist attack, and it ended out benefiting the party on the bottom in which was the Nazis. Adolf Hitler was then giving the position that made him a "dictator" in the times of crisis. They were also greatly supported by the lower middle class.
Hitler and the Nazis came to power when in the 1930's there was mass unemployment and Hitler blamed this crisis on the Jewish people and the people did not do anything about it because the 'pure' Germans were not affected by this great tragedy.

Exam 5
There are ways in which Adolf Hitler and Mao relate. The first way that these two relate is that they were dictators, and Mao called his government a "Democratic dictatorship". Secondly Mao and Hitler both had killed several people during an event, Hitler killed thousands during the "Holocaust" and Mao killed 800,000 people during the cultural revolution. Furthermore Mao and Hitler both set up forced labor camps, and Mao also had Re-education, which is similar to forced labor camps. In conclusion Mao and Hitler were alike during there reign of power, and during history.
A dictatorship usually begins with an individual or a group of people who say that something is wrong with the government, and persuades their point across. Next when the group or person is elected, they start to slowly take power. Similar people in history, such as Adolf Hitler, used the NAZI party to rise up to power. Every time, they start by making the people think that they have something to offer, and then when they have everyone on their side, then they become a dictator.
