I agree with your answer for # 1, but I disagree with your other three answers.

2. Which young generals did the British or Americans use? How did they undermine Britain? Did the colonists like being heavily taxed to support the British in the French and Indian War? Was there a myth that the British were invincible? Don't all soldiers hold the enemy in contempt?

3. I don't like any of the answers for this question. But you can find the best answer in the Wikipedia site GuruBlue posted.

4. Although there were rigid class distinctions, didn't the colonists ease some of them because they needed talent and hard work, regardless of family background?
