What led to food riots in Boston and some other areas in 1781?

Answers

Answer 1
On Tuesday, October 9, 1781, at 5:00 that afternoon, as an American flag unfurled over Grand Battery 13A at Yorktown, George Washington personally set light to an eighteen-pounder announcing to Charles Cornwallis that his end was not far off. As the hurtling ball spent itself, it left behind a wake of devastation killing the British Commissary-General and injuring two other officers gathered together for their evening meal. For Massachusetts officer Lieutenant Colonel Ebenezer Stevens, in charge of attending Henry Knox’s artillery park that day, it was no doubt an eminently satisfying result.[1]

While the thirty-year-old Stevens already possessed an extraordinary amount of experience in the patriot cause as an early leader at the Boston Tea Party, a member of the Quebec expedition and later assuming the duties as the leading artillerist of the Northern Department, witnessing the final moments of the war surely ranked high on his list of achievements. However, had he known what was taking place back home at that very moment, where the “fruits” of the conflict he was helping to bring to an end were beginning to make themselves known, he could be excused if he paused to reflect on what it all meant for his nation’s future.

The year 1781 marks not only the end of wholesale fighting in North America, but also the unveiling of other unanticipated and unforeseen forces about to radically change the patriots’ perceptions of what the Revolution was all about. From a large, macro perspective, this was the year that the Articles of Confederation, first drafted in 1777, were ratified in March resulting in the creation of what proved to be a largely ineffective federal government that did little to inhibit the sovereignty that the individual states continued to cling to. And on the micro level, much was also amiss.

King’s dream of economic equality has been harder to achieve. Why? For one, he demanded that Americans restructure capitalism, both at home and abroad. But he also challenged a core part of the American Dream: the false assumption that those who work hard can move upward. King rejected the bootstrap myth, because he understood that many people, notably those of color, didn’t even have boots.

You receive another request for help. This time you’re being asked to identify a problem and let people know what to expect in the future.


Stefano Buonaiuti of Italy is in distress. What is this “pestilence” everyone is talking about? Where did it come from? What’s going to happen to Europe? Stefano has even begun to believe that no one will survive, and life as he knows it will come to an end. Your mission is to research his problem, find out what it is, what caused it, and send him a message in a time capsule letting him know what the future will bring. Read what Stefano Buonaiuti has to say about the disease:


In the year of our lord 1348 there occurred in the city of Florence a great pestilence, and such was its fury and violence that in whatever household it took hold, whosoever took care of the sick, all the carers died of the same illness, and almost nobody survived beyond the fourth day . . . Such was the fear that nobody knew what to do: when it caught hold in a household, it often happened that not a single person escaped death. . . .


At every church, or at most of them, pits were dug, down to the water-table, as wide and deep as the parish was populous; and therein, whosoever was not very rich, having died during the night, would be shouldered by those whose duty it was [and be] thrown into this pit. The next morning there would be very many in the pit. Earth would be taken and thrown down on them; and then others would come on top of them, and then earth on top again, in layers, with very little earth, like garnishing lasagna with cheese.


[Source: Stefano Buonaiuti (1327-1385)]


Now, read these secondary sources to find out more about the disease that ravaged Europe:


Out of the Middle Ages


The Black Death


Use the sources above to investigate what is going on in Florence, and write a short summary of your findings in about 200 to 250 words. You may want to create an outline to guide you. Think about these questions:


What is the name of the pestilence?

Where did it come from?

What caused it?

Where did it spread?

What are the short-term effects?

What are the long-term effects?

Write down your summary to put in a time capsule for Stefano.

Answers

Answer:

What is the name of the pestilence?-  The black death.

Where did it come from? rats and other rodents

What caused it? A bacteria called Yersinia pestis

Where did it spread? Transmission of the plague to people can also occur from eating infected animals such as squirrels (for example, in the southeastern U.S.) Once someone has the plague, they can transmit it to another person via aerosol droplets.

What are the short-term effects? Famine, noone worked in fear of catching the black death or, they had already caught it and was either dead or sick.

What are the long-term effects? The long term effects of the Black Death were devastating and far reaching. Agriculture, religion, economics and even social class were affected. Contemporary accounts shed light on how medieval Britain was irreversibly changed...

Explanation:

Answer:

  Dear Stefano,

   I have heard that you have been distressed about the recent "pestilence" that has been going around and I wanted to share with you some things that might be helpful to know. The name of the pestilence is the Black Death or the Bubonic plague. The Bubonic plague was believed to start in China and spread along trade routes. The cause of the pestilence is infected fleas that are found on rats and other rodents. The pestilence spreads when an infected flea jumps from person to person, biting and killing them. The short-term effects/symptoms of the pestilence are fever, chills, extreme weakness, stomach aches, and nausea. The long-term effects/things that are happening or should be expected to happen are a drastic decline in the population, cities being fled, many children are being abondoned, and famine due to a lack of workers and farmers. Some ways to prevent getting sick are, using soap and washing your hands, telling others to use soap and wash their hands, and if you see rodents on the street do not touch or come close to them. I know you are worried but this plague will end eventually, right now this is all you can do to prevent this plague. I wish you the best.

20
30
50
200

Answers

Answer:

but about 20. 2 x 10 since there are 30 marbles, so it makes sense to say 30 x 10 to get 300, but since you only have 2 purple, you only get 2 purple out of every 30,  

SO in conclusion, 20 purple marbles.

Explanation:

Answer:

A) 20

if there are 30 marbles than 30 x 10 = 300. so you would do the same with the purple marbles 20 x 10 = 20.
