Assingment #7 Unit 2 Breaking Law Justified

The Americans broke most of the laws that they didn't agree with. when certain people are geting treated unfair just beacuse of who they are, something must be done to stop that. That is what the Americans did, they put a stop to the unfair things they were going through. They had to put the Britains in their place, and make sure they were treated the same.

Alot of colonist broke many of the rules that were set by the British. They did this because they wanted to be independent and be treated with the same rights. Britain was practically taking away the natural rights of each American. They were even taxing them without their consent. That was one of the main reasons why the Americans also broke law to justify. Britain was sending their British soldiers to each home of an American to stay their, but not only that, they also had to eat of the Americans money and home. When the Boston Tea Party came, the americans dressed up, and threw the tea into Boston Harbor, since the tea was going to be taxed. Lots of other things happened which ended up leding to war, which them the Americans won.

Back further before the American Revolution, some people were free but not all. Let's just say that white people were free to do what ever they wanted when ever they wanted.Blacks were not. They were not allowed to drink from same fountains as white. They were not allowed to attend the same school as white. They even had to use different bathrooms at that time. On of the major thing was that blacks would ride in back of the bus, and were absolutely not permitted in the front. A women by the name of Rosa Parks once boarded into the Montgomery City bus, she sat were she wasn't suppose to. When a white man boarded the bus, and the driver told her to move so that the white man could sit she refused. She was arrested, but after that things changed the Civil Rights movement was formed. Also with the help of Dr. King Jr.

I feel that sometimes breaking the law is a good thing. It might change something that is unfair to alot of certain people. Then again now a days if you break a law nothing will change, it might but what are the possibilities? Did both the Americans and Rosa Parks do the right thing? I think so, because if it changed the live of many and it's affective today then yes, it was a good thing. Thanks to all of them we now have freedom and were are not treated different for our colors.
