Week 5: Daily #5

Do you think Caesar's killers were justified in their actions?

I do not think that they were very justified in their actions. They should not have killed him. Most people, who were not poor, like people in the senate, were very angry. Julius Caesar went to the poor people for their votes. He asked them to vote for him and educated them on what and why he was running. The senate was mad because normal people would go to higher titles and ask for their vote. When Caesar did not go to the higher people, they probably felt less powerful. They also probably felt like they were of no importance because Julius could win by himself. Julius Caesar was a great leader, and showed that he was. He went and conquered places that the higher people sent him to in hopes of his fall. They were setting him up for disaster, and he had no choice but to go to war with him. In conclusion, Julius Caesar’s killers were not justified in their actions, and they should have thought twice before killing such a great, fair, and persistent man who looked for the best interest of his country. Even though some think that he was in it for himself and others believe that he was doing this for the best of the people, we may never know, but we must base it off of our own opinion and belief.
