Your quote is from Alexis de Tocqueville, who was a member of the French Aristocracy and favored monarchy over democracy. He came to America shortly after the French Revolution to study democracy up close and personal. He didn't like it much, but why would he? He had it pretty good under the French monarchical system. At least understand what it is you're ranting about.

He was a young American (21 years old), who was hung by the British for spying against them during the Revolutionary War.  He is famous for his last words: "I only regret that I have but one life to lose for my country."  How did he impact history?  He added his name to that role call of heroes who value the ideals of personal liberty above their own lives.

I am not Native American but would like to share with you the texts that helped me to better understand the Native American culture and my understanding of the atrocities that occurred. Many Native Americans were killed, raped, starved, displaced and betrayed by the settlers to America. The quote from Chief Red Cloud above is probably the simplest and most accurate way to portray the betrayal of his people. \n\nMany tribes were reduced to a minisclule fraction of thier numbers in mass masacres (in which only the white men had rifles) - the most famous of these was the massacre at Wounded Knee. Eventually the tribes in thier dwindling numbers were resigned to reservations and virtually starved because of the fact that they now had only limited hunting lands and the settlers had slaughtered (almost to extinction) the buffalo - which was the Native Americans staple food source. A very similar thing happened here in Australia to our Aboriginal tribes.\n\nThere is so much to know on this topic and I would advise looking into these:\n\n"Bury My Heart At Wounded Knee" by Dee Brown (book)\n\n"Savagery and the American Indian" by Ken Kirby (film documentary)\n\nand checking out this web site for any more documentaries on your Native People.\n\nhttp://shenandoahfilms.com\n\nYou will not only learn of the atrocious behaviour of an ignorant government through this but will hopefully discover a culture which is rich in warmth, respect and mysticism.

do you mean the 'American Revolution'?\n\nwell the first reason is the Quartering Act. the quartering act is an act that made colonists quarter, or house, british soldiers in their homes.\n\nanother reason is the Proclamation (think mispell) of 1763. it prevented colonists from moving wesword past the appalation mountains. it violated their rights as britians.\n\nTHe third reason is the Sugar Act. THe sugar act is simply a tax on sugar, molasses (which is syurp) and other sugar products. this angered the colonists because colonists loved to drink tea with sugar. \n\nThe fourth reason is the Stamp Act. THe stamp act is a replacement for the Sugar Act. I am unshure about when the stamp act was repealed, though. the stamp act is a tax on legal documents, stamps, even playing cards, etc. (pretty much any product that has paper in/on/ or is paper\n\nThe townshed act is another reason. i dont know what it exactly did, but it isnt a tax. i think it was a limit on what the things that colonists can do.\n\nThe Blockade of Boston Harbor is another reason. it was a wall of ships that blocked ships (mainly ships that carryed imports) from coming into the colonists.\n\nthere are many other reasons why, but these are main reasons

Well, when the Animals in 1984 got together, they overthrew the pigs who imposed rules without consideration from the farm animals.  The American revolutionaries did the same to the British monarchy for the same reasons.

The American Revolution is the series of events, ideas, and changes that resulted in the political separation of thirteen colonies in North America from the British Empire and the creation of the United States of America. The American Revolutionary War (1775–1783) was one part of the revolution, but the revolution began before the first shot was fired at Lexington and Concord and continued after the British surrender at Yorktown. "The Revolution was effected before the War commenced," wrote John Adams. "The Revolution was in the minds and hearts of the people."

Shays's Rebellion\n1786—87, armed insurrection by farmers in W Massachusetts against the state government. Debt-ridden farmers, struck by the economic depression that followed the American Revolution, petitioned the state senate to issue paper money and to halt foreclosure of mortgages on their property and their own imprisonment for debt as a result of high land taxes.

He was sent to kill the Indians in the Dakotas. The Indians called the battle "the rubbing out of long hair"

From Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boston_Massacre\nThe Boston Massacre is the name commonly given to the shooting of five civilians by British troops on March 5, 1770, which became a cause celebre among pro-independence groups and helped to eventually spark the American Revolutionary War. Colonists were already resenting the Townshend Acts. Tensions caused by the heavy military presence in Boston led to brawls between soldiers and civilians, and eventually to troops shooting their muskets into a riotous crowd.\n\nThe incident began on King Street when a young wigmaker's apprentice named Edward Garrick called out to a British officer, Captain John Goldfinch, that he was late paying his barber's bill. Goldfinch had in fact settled his account that day but did not reply to the boy. When Garrick remained quite vocal in his complaints an hour later, the British sentry outside the customs house, Private Hugh White, called the boy over and clubbed him on the head. Garrick's companions yelled at the sentry, and a British sergeant chased them away.[2] The apprentices returned with more locals, shouting insults at the sentry and throwing snowballs and litter.\nThis chromolithograph by John Bufford prominently features a black man believed to be Crispus Attucks.\nEnlarge\nThis chromolithograph by John Bufford prominently features a black man believed to be Crispus Attucks.\n\nWhite sent a messenger to the Main Guard for reinforcements. The Officer of the Day, Captain Thomas Preston, dispatched a corporal and six privates, all grenadiers of the 29th Regiment of Foot, and followed soon after. The mob grew in size and continued throwing stones, sticks, and chunks of ice. A group of sailors and dockworkers came carrying large sticks of firewood and pushed to the front of the crowd, directly confronting the soldiers. As bells rang in the surrounding steeples, the crowd of Bostonians grew larger and more threatening.\n\nIn the midst of the commotion, Private Hugh Montgomery was struck down onto the ground by a thrown club. He fired his musket into the air and—as he later admitted to one of his defense attorneys—yelled "Fire!" All but one of the other soldiers shot their weapons into the crowd. Three Americans—ropemaker Samuel Gray, mariner James Caldwell, and a multiracial sailor, Crispus Attucks—died instantly. Seventeen-year-old Samuel Maverick, struck by a ricocheting musket ball at the back of the crowd, died the next day. Thirty-year-old Irish immigrant Patrick Carr died two weeks later. Six more men were injured. To keep the peace, the next day royal authorities agreed to remove all troops from the center of town to a fort on Castle Island in Boston Harbor.\n\nSee other links below

Helping you out with your homework huh?  Well I will not make it 4 or five sentences long but will give you something to think about.  \nThe impact it has on the American history is it started the rebellion against taxation and the mother country.  The second thing is that Americans decided to govern themselves and form a new government.  It also lead to no one ruler will govern America, judicial system, legislative branch and the executive branch.  It lead to a revolt and to the rights of our civil liberties.

The "chop"?  I am not sure I would call the death penalty "the chop".  It sort of says America is all about revenge, which it's not. And that's why I think this was a good verdict: it allowed Moussaoui's due process to run its course (though he still has appeals). He received much more justice than the victims of his co-conspirators.  I think some would say that this guy was so low on the totem pole that we're really looking for a scapegoat. As one of the family members of a 9/11 victim said, we don't really know what was going on in his mind on that day. Is he really more paranoid, more dellusional, as opposed to a true conspirator or mastermind? We don't really know. But he was part of it at least at some levels.  Today he proclaimed "victory" even though he had earlier stated he wanted the death penalty. This alone makes me wonder if he is in the right state of mind.  He wants to be the center of attention and this verdict might finally take away that attention from him.

Hi there;\n\nThe answer is: The Lexington Green located near the old north bridge which connects Lexington and Concord Mass. on April 19, 1775.\n\nHopes that helps. :)\n\nPS. WOOHOO I found it! I knew I could if I kept at it long enough. \nThe first person to give their life in the revolutionary cause was a man by the name of Crispus Attucks. Mr. Attucks was the son of a native African father and a native of the Natick indian tribe. He was killed at the Boston Massacre.\nHe was buried with honors in the Parks street cemetary in Boston.

Rode in Massachusetts warning that "The British are coming."\n\nBecause he was immortalized after his death for his role as a messenger in the battles of Lexington and Concord, Revere's name and his "midnight ride" are well-known in the United States as a patriotic symbol.\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Revere\n\ns

Whole books about this stuff...In a nut shell...\nNatives and Africans fought on both sides of the Revolution to further their own interests.  Native Americans were the dominant military presence west of the Appalachian Mountains and they fought alongside the English.  They believed the English were their beat hope of keeping American settlers from pouring over the mountains and pushing them off their land.\n\nThere were many tribes, some traditional enemies, and that further complicated their response to the war between American Colonists and the English,\n  Africans and African Americans (remember, at this time the African slave trade was very much alive - not all African slaves were native born) fought for the colonies, and fought well, as free men and on behalf of their masters.  At one point, the British promised freedom to any male slave (and his family) if he escaped and joined the British Army.  Many did.  Others took advantage of masters and overseers' absence to escape from slavery.\n\nJust remember this - no group of people ever acted uniformly.  People act in their own interests.
