Remember, remember!<\/p>\n

The fifth of November,<\/em><\/p>\n

The Gunpowder treason and plot;<\/em><\/p>\n

I know of no reason<\/em><\/p>\n

Why the Gunpowder treason<\/em><\/p>\n

Should ever be forgot!<\/em><\/p>\n

John Milton wrote this famous poem, originally called \u201cIn Quintum Novembris<\/a>\u201d (\u201cOn the Fifth of November\u201d), to commemorate the failed Gunpowder Plot of 1605.<\/p>\n

The post volume for \u201c5th of November\u201d was over 62,000 with 98.8 percent of posts coming from Twitter. Most of the social media posts came from the U.S. (38.9 percent), Unknown (32.9 percent) and the U.K. (9.9 percent). Photos from Adam Brown Social Media Command Center Social Media.

The Gunpowder Plot<\/strong>
\nAccording to Britannica<\/a>, Robert Catesby, Thomas Winter, Thomas Percy, John Wright and Guy Fawkes plotted to blow up Parliament and King James I. Then later on, John Grant, Ambrose Rokewood, Robert Keyes, Sir Everard Digby, Francis Tresham and Thomas Bates joined the plot. Their ultimate goal was for the English Catholics\u00a0to take control of Protestant England.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, the plan never came to past for two reasons. According to History.com<\/a>, Lord Monteagle, who was one of the co-conspirator\u2019s brother-in-law, received an anonymous note telling him to avoid Parliament. Monteagle warned government officials hours before the attack. Then Sir Thomas Knyvet, discovered Fawkes was guarding the gunpowder. Fawkes was supposed to light the powder and escape across the River Thames via boat<\/a>.<\/p>\n

As a result, he was captured along with his other co-conspirators; however, some refused. Catesby, the Wright brothers, and Percy were fatally wounded during gunfire after they refused to yield. Tresham died in the Tower of London of natural causes. Fawkes was hanged and drawn (his neck snapped before being quartered). Winter, John Grant, Rokewood, Keyes, Digby and Bates were hanged, drawn and quartered.<\/p>\n

Reclaiming History<\/strong>
\nAfterwards, Parliament declared Nov. 5 a holiday to celebrate the failed attack. However, this day is now a political symbol of the co-conspirators actions. While these men\u2013 who were labelled as zealots and traitors\u2013 met gruesome endings, their legacy has become part of a global revolution. This date was originally a British observance day, but is now a global entity to challenge various governments who are corrupt, greedy, lack accountability for their actions and inactions and anti-democratic<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Gunpowder Plot resurfaced in \u201cV for Vendetta<\/a>,\u201d a 1980s British graphic novel created by Alan Moore and David Lloyd. The novel was set in futuristic England under a fascist and authoritarian rule. The novel followed V, a charismatic anarchist, who used terrorism to oppose the tyrannical government. He saves 16-year-old girl, Evey Hammond, who becomes his student and assistant.<\/p>\n

The plot resurfaced a couple decades later and became a pop culture phenomenon. Guy Fawkes Day and the graphic novel gained global attention after the 2005 film adaptation<\/a> starring Natalie Portman, Hugo Weaving and John Hurt. According to Mental Floss<\/a>, Fawkes was mainly celebrated in the U.K. on Halloween before the film\u2019s release. People would wear Fawkes costumes and create effigies in honor of him.<\/p>\n

Now the 5th of November is celebrated in bonfires and fireworks since the end of Queen Victoria\u2019s reign, according to World Atlas<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\nAfter Lloyd\u2019s illustration was turned into a stylish mask, many social and political movements have incorporated it. Mental Floss<\/a> provided a history of who has worn the mask: the hacktivist collective Anonymous, the Occupy Wall Street protestors, employees for Turkish Airlines, Arab Spring movement protestors and Lindsay Mills (Edward Snowden\u2019s wife).<\/p>\n

The artist is not upset by the use of his creation. Actually, Lloyd is happy his work has come to life and is being used for good.<\/p>\n

He told CNBC<\/a>, \u201cI\u2019m very happy with all circumstances where the mask is being used by people who are trying to do what they believe is the right thing \u2014 to combat any tyranny they happen to want to confront.\u201d<\/p>\n

This day goes by many names: Guy Fawkes Day, 5th of November Day and Bonfire Night. However, the legacy behind the name still remains the same: to create social and political change within suppressive and oppressive governments; and to have their citizens voices heard.<\/p>\n

In closing, remember this quote from \u201cV for Vendetta<\/a>,\u201d \u201cPeople should not be afraid of their governments. Governments should be afraid of their people.\u201d<\/p>\n

Oh, one last thing\u2026 Happy Election Day!
