1830 represented breaking free from the chains of oppression in the Belgian Rev, Java War, and Bathurst Reb, but also signified the power and unfortunate repercussions of new technology in the French Invasion of Algiers and the Trail of Tears.

context
Settlersâ resentment for Native Americans originated with the voyages to the Americas led by European explorers. in the 1400s. Through a Eurocentric lens, the natives were viewed as savage and alien. Such hatred continued, specifically in South American colonies, with the encomiendas labor system. By forcing the natives to labor and toil tirelessly in mines, their dehumanization by European settlers was further reinforced. Moreover, settlers utilized dehumanization as means to justify taking territory. In attempts to regain stolen land, natives in North America allied with the British in the War of 1812, but failed yet again to the powerful technology of the settlers. Native American numbers dwindled even more around this time, resulting in a small and weak force against the seemingly unstoppable settlers. Another contributor to the significance of 1830 in the Americas was the rapidly increasing industrialization. As industrialization enthralled all of Britain in the mid-18th century, outside regions also adopted
idea 1 - indian removal act
Andrew Jackson, halfway through his first term as president, also agreed with the anti-native sentiment. He signed the Indian Removal Act of 1830 hoping to forcibly move native Americans in southeastern territories further west. He was motivated by Americaâs love for cotton, which grew in southern states. Moreover, the previous invention of the cotton gin further fueled the desire for cotton since it could now be rapidly produced. By kicking out the natives, Jackson assigned more land for cotton farming at the expense of thousands of native deaths.
idea 2 - tom thumb
As America rapidly industrialized during the early nineteenth century, they found themselves in need of better transportation. Horses typically pulled trains, but their slow pace left many Americans dissatisfied. Following the path of the British, Americans resorted to steam engines, the first American one being the Tom Thumb. It first rode in 1830 against horses in a race, and it left Americans stunned with its rapid speed of 10-14 miles per hour. Steam engines then rose in popularity across the country, replacing horses altogether. However, despite the marvels of the Tom Thumb, it also ignited a new era of coal burning in America. Cities became smog-filled wastelands and pollutants clogged water sources alike.

written
As a longstanding colony of the Dutch, Java was no stranger to oppression. The Dutch first entered Java in the 16th century for resources like indigo, rice, coffee, and other natural resources, and they remained there for several centuries after. Moreover, Dutch authorities forced the natives to farm and process such products, causing a negative sentiment against the Dutch.
The Java War, lasting from 1825-1830, displayed the first organized Javanese attempt to overthrow the Dutch power. During the temporary British rule in the Yogyakarta sultanate of central Indonesia, British authorities dethroned the current sultan and eventually handed Hamengkubuwono IV the crown. However, he died shortly after the British lost their control over Java. Once the Dutch regained control, they placed a mere three year-old on the throne, known as Hamengkubuwono V. A chancellor, Paith Danurejo, became his caretaker, but he gained control of internal affairs as well. His main goal involved pandering to the Dutch authorities. Another chancellor-caretaker, Diponegoro, despised Danurejo and his ideals. Moreover, Danurejo continued to ignore Javanese customs in order to appease the foreigners, angering him. As tensions rose between the Dutch and the Javanese, more Javanese citizens flocked to support Diponegoro. He declared himself ratu adil, or just king, resulting in the Dutch sparking the largest war in Java history. Despite the overwhelming support for Diponegoro, the Dutch decimated their troops, leading to Diponegoro surrendering and the war ending. In spite of the massive anti-Dutch sentiment from the Javanese, this was the last concerted effort to fight against the Dutch. Once the war ended, the Dutch ruled over Java with an iron fist, preventing further sedition. However, the Java War demonstrated the overwhelming desire for liberation amongst people in 1830. The Javanese valiantly rallied against the Dutch, conveying the significance of revolutions in 1830.

During the 1800s, Australia had few European inhabitants and was home to the Aborigines. However, the Europeans who did reside there were convicts due to Britain declaring the land a penal colony (History.com Editors, âBritish Settlement Begins in Australia.â). One particular prisoner, Ralph Entwistle, was sent to Australia to work in Bathurst in 1929 after committing a robbery. Authorities gave convicts the caveat to behave in order to end their labor early, which was enticing to Entwistle. By amicably doing his work, he quickly shortened his sentence. He and his friend decided to go skinny-dipping during their journey to complete their final task, but were unfortunately caught by Governor Ralph Darling, a man notorious for his cruel attitude to prisoners. The two were not only publicly flogged, but were stripped of their opportunity to leave the penal colony by authorities. The following year, Entwistle, along with a number of other convicts, escaped and demolished the farm he had previously worked at. Together, they went on a rampage, destroying farms and liberating convicts left and right. Their numbers eventually rose to 80, and they were infamously know as the Ribbon Boys. However, authorities caught them November of that year and publicly hanged them, leading to the end of the Ribbon Boysâ reign of terror. Although they committed heinous crimes, the Ribbon Boys not only demonstrated how easily ideas of rebellion spread, but also displayed how people of 1830 strove for freedom in comparison to other years.
