What were the events that transpired in Boston after news of the Glorious Revolution in England reached the colonists?
When James became king after his brother's death in 1685, he decided to make some drastic changes in both England and America. James wanted very much to rule England without Parliament, the governing body that represented English nobility and landowners. He believed that God had given him the special right to rule as an "absolute monarch," who did not have to include any other government official or group to make laws or rule his people. He was also a Roman Catholic who wanted to change England from a Protestant to a Catholic country.James also thought that the colonies of New England--Massachusetts, Plymouth, Connecticut, Rhode Island, and New Hampshire--were very poorly governed and much too independent of the king's control. So he sent Edmund Andros (pronounced Andrews) to unite the colonies under one royal government.Things did not go well for James in England. During his short 3-year rule, he managed to make nearly everyone angry. Whigs, people who supported the power of Parliament to limit the king, opposed James's ideas of absolute rule. Even Tories, those who usually supported the king's authority, soon agreed that James was going too far, especially in his attempts to make England Catholic. In the autumn of 1688 Whigs and Tories joined together to force James off the throne. They invited his Protestant daughter Mary and her Dutch husband William to rule in James's place.To explain why they believed their revolution was legal, Parliament passed the English Bill of Rights early in 1689. The bill listed many things James II had done which Parliament believed were illegal. It also listed the rights that Englishmen believed they enjoyed under English law. William and Mary accepted the Bill of Rights at the time of their coronation, swearing to uphold these "ancient rights and liberties" of the English people.While James was getting into deeper and deeper trouble in England, Adros was busy making his own enemies in America. He took over the colonial governments of Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Plymouth, Connecticut, Rhode Island, and New York, and combined them all into one big government called the Dominion of New England. He made the colonists pay new taxes, arrested and fined people who opposed him, and allowed residents of towns only one meeting a year to take care of important business.Colonists hated the Dominion. In the summer of 1688, they sent the Puritan minister and president of Harvard College, Increase Mather, to England to protest what Andros was doing. Mather had to sneak on board a ship and hide until the vessel was far away from America. By the time he reached England, the Glorious Revolution was under way there. It was about to happen in Boston, too.
What are some examples of equality in the World War 2?
I think England is the only example of equality in World War II. That's why Winston Churchill can be so famous for doing a fraction of what Franklin Delano Roosevelt did. I think whoever had you ask this question really outdid themselves here, because there's probably nothing in history that had more IN-equality on so many levels of both good and evil then World War II. We discriminated in the armies, we put Japanese people in camps and seized all their property, worldwide people were imprisoning if not killing people simply because they didn't like or trust them. Simply. And that's why I bring up England. Before World War II broke out, everyone made fun of England because of the way they appeased Hitler. What they don't understand is that in England's eyes, there was no invasion here. It was a matter of alot of people in a lot of countries who wanted to part of Germany. England was thinking hey -- we can make everyone happy here. Even our enemies so that maybe they'll become our friends. That's pretty gosh darn equality-minded. And then when World War II DID break out? Who was the only European power who lasted more then a summer before making an official deal for their lives? England. They fought those Nazis for three years straight until D-Day, all by themselves. They took on essentially an ENTIRE LOOTED AND CONQUERED CONTINENT'S MIGHT!!! The Nazis were using all of Europe's resources against England and they STILL got their butts kicked. The ones most willing to show peace and equality through this whole mess....got the most damage....and inflicted the most damage back. Face it, honey...England's not the UK. It's the DK. As in the Dark Knight.

The Colonist's were being used as the bank for England. England was in terrible debt due to the wars in Europe and fighting Spain.
