The document discusses some of the social and economic impacts of the American Revolutionary War. It notes that while the Revolution brought positive changes, it also disrupted traditional social hierarchies and altered the economy. Approximately 60,000 to 80,000 loyalists fled to Canada or Britain as a result of the war. Upon their potential return after the war, loyalists faced difficulties reintegrating into American society. The war was devastating for some individuals and merchants but presented new opportunities for other merchants.

The document discusses several key events surrounding the American Revolutionary War and early efforts towards independence. It describes how the colonies worked to unite and adopt new governments removing authority from the British Crown. Congress formed committees to work with states on new constitutions even before the Declaration of Independence. The war was a difficult struggle and impacted Britain's global supremacy against France. General George Washington played a role in Congress as a scare tactic that worked. Governor Thomas Jefferson was also humiliated by British forces in 1781 in events that impacted moves towards independence. The war took a long toll on the country similar to modern times.

The Sugar Act of 1764 caused economic hardships in the colonies by limiting trade and provoking protests. In 1765, colonial assemblies submitted petitions against the negative effects of the Sugar Act, but they were ignored by British authorities. The Stamp Act of 1765 further angered colonists by taxing various documents and publications. Town meetings were held across colonies to declare opposition to British taxation without representation. Young Patrick Henry helped lead measures in the Virginia House of Burgesses rejecting Parliament's taxation of the colonies. Mob violence destroyed stamp tax collection in America by August 1765.

The Coercive Acts of 1774 caused widespread rebellion in the American colonies. By the end of 1774, the colonies were establishing new local governments and resisting British controls. As 1775 began, the British were already planning military action while the Second Continental Congress struggled to prevent conflict and accomplish independence. Fighting broke out in Massachusetts in April 1775 due to British assumptions that Boston was to blame for unrest, starting the road to revolution.

The document discusses the various social, economic, and political factors that contributed to the origins and transformation of the American Revolution. Colonists felt pressure from Great Britain's growing imperial power throughout the 1760s. As British policies aimed to tighten control over the colonies, resentment grew among colonists, who saw their society as preparing for a republican future. The Revolution transformed colonial society and ushered in a new, modern era for America.

Co-exist, Colonize, or Combine? - EGOS Colloquium 2012
The document discusses research on patterns of discourse in nonprofit evaluation. It finds that an "interlanguage" has emerged where evaluators use a common vocabulary that blends elements from different domains like civil society, science, and management. This interlanguage facilitates communication across boundaries. The researchers analyzed 419 organizations' websites and identified 196 evaluation-related keywords organized in 3 clusters. They found the interlanguage is ubiquitous, composed of original language elements, and enables coordination. Organizations that compete or collaborate across forms use more interlanguage. The interlanguage represents an integration of discourses rather than colonization. Future analysis will examine topic clusters in the evaluation network.

This document summarizes recent policy developments impacting American Indian and Alaska Native tribes. It notes some legislative victories, including restoration of funding for Native education and recognition of tribal authority in the Violence Against Women Act. However, it also outlines attacks, such as sequestration cuts, unfavorable court rulings challenging the Indian Child Welfare Act and tribal sovereign immunity, and increased IRS audits of tribes. It concludes by emphasizing the need for tribal leaders to continue advocating for their sovereignty and the federal trust responsibility in the face of challenges from opponents seeking to dismantle tribal programs and rights.
Ed Thomas - 2013 AFN Convention Tribal Report
The document discusses federal budget problems including a large national debt and budget deficit. It shows that mandatory spending on programs like Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security make up the majority of the budget, while discretionary domestic spending has declined significantly as a share of total costs. Proposed budget cuts primarily target non-defense discretionary programs that support many Native American programs, which are already underfunded compared to overall per capita spending. The failure of a bipartisan committee to agree on further deficit reduction triggers across-the-board sequestration cuts that disproportionately impact domestic programs like the BIA and IHS that serve Native communities.
Co-exist, Colonize, or Combine?
The document analyzes discourse around nonprofit evaluation from three social worlds: civil society, science, and management. It finds that a combination of these languages has led to a growing emphasis on measurable impact and managerial criteria for nonprofits. The study analyzes online discourse to determine whether these languages co-exist, combine, or if one colonizes the others. It identifies key terms from each language and finds evidence of an "interlanguage" combining aspects of all three that is used by most entities discussing nonprofit evaluation.
TOP Marathon Events Case Study
BSIM has achieved nearly 99% diversion of waste from landfills through extensive recycling and composting efforts for their marathon event. They coordinate with stakeholders and use compostable/recyclable supplies, donate unused food and clothing, send various waste streams like foam cups and plastic wrappers to specialized recycling programs, and educate volunteers to man zero-waste stations. Through these comprehensive strategies, their dumpsters are left empty after the event.

The document discusses how the American Revolution transformed from a colonial rebellion in 1775 into a military victory over Britain and the formation of new governments in 1776. This transformation had ideological implications, as Americans began to believe the Revolution was ushering in a new era of republicanism and self-governance. Republicanism was seen as a radical ideology that emphasized civic virtue and moralism. It drew from classical Roman republican ideals that were further developed by Renaissance thinkers. The blending of these classical republican values with the American revolutionary movement created an exciting new vision for the future.
QDI Strategies Behavioral Segmentation Project Example
This document summarizes the results of a behavioral segmentation study conducted by QDI Strategies for a manufacturing client. The study found that 61% of the market valued application sales support enough to purchase directly from manufacturers. It recommended the client pursue a hybrid strategy of direct sales for some customers while working with distributors for others. Specifically, it suggested direct sales for customers who highly value solutions and allowing distributors to handle customers who prefer buying through them or don't need additional services. This would allow the client to capture more value while managing conflicts between direct and distributor sales channels.

Thomas Paine analyzes the state of affairs between the colonies and Britain. He argues that independence is the right of all men and necessary for a good quality of life, but it comes at a high price of war. Paine believes the Tories are inviting the enemy which aids Howe and hurts the American cause. However, he has hope for the future if the colonies persevere and remain fortified, as they can win the war by driving out the Tories and taking their property to support those who have suffered for the patriot cause.

Benedict Arnold was a courageous and accomplished military leader during the Revolutionary War who made great sacrifices for the patriot cause but is best known as a traitor. He fought bravely in numerous battles and raids, including the Danbury Raid in 1777, but felt underappreciated by Congress. Arnold's mistakes in reading the enemy's movements cost him credibility and he ultimately betrayed the revolution, though in his mind he believed he was still fighting for the patriot cause.
Struggle & Survival Teach
The document discusses several individuals from history who faced struggles related to their social status and beliefs:
- Diego Vasicuio was a religious leader persecuted for his indigenous beliefs in Mexico in the 1500s.

- Juan de Morga was a mulatto slave in Mexico in the 1600s who endured severe abuse before gaining temporary freedom.
- Antonio de Gouveia was a Portuguese priest in the 1500s who practiced medicine and was accused of sorcery before disappearing.
- Catarina de Monte Sinay was a nun in colonial Brazil

- 2. The Revolution brought about many good results, but with the good also come the bad, or at least the less than desirable results. The transformation the republican Revolution was illustrated everywhere. Customary ties were cut and traditional hierarchies were cut. Although the Revolution did not cause a collapse of the social order, it did alter the economy and they way the people looked at the government. It is ironic the effect the war can have over any number of people. It was a sudden effect that was felt by many. The departure of the “loyalists.” It is a rough estimate, but it appears that approximately 60,000 to 80,000 loyalists got out of dodge and headed to Canada or Great Britain.
- 4. Now these people did return to America and reintegrated into American society after the war. Loyalists account for the majority population in the East and Deep South. It was not the ideal situation, being placed back into society. This caused much trials and tribulations and it was widespread. It was believed the true cause for this was the “sudden rise and fall of fortunes during the Revolutionary years.” Tobacco and other staple crops were up in arms upon the release of British freeing slaves to fight “for the crown.” The devastating tobacco productions took a new turn and new marketing, and new participants came as a small relief. The war was devastating to individuals and some merchants, but some merchants were actually prospering during this time and finding bigger and better opportunities.
