You're on your own now for the first answer. I've checked two of your answers for that question.
The answer to #2 is actually C.
The answers are B,C, and A. I just took the lesson.
Yep, its B, C and A, good job MIW!
To get the answer to question 1, we can analyze each option:
A) The colonists were rebelling against a monarch: This was indeed a reason for the King of Spain to be cautious. The Spanish monarchy might have seen supporting a rebellion against another monarchy as potentially setting a dangerous precedent.
B) Spain could acquire more land in the New World: This was a possible incentive for the King of Spain to consider supporting the British colonists. Acquiring more land in the New World would expand Spain's territories and influence.
C) The British colonists were not well-funded and not as powerful as Great Britain: This was another reason for caution. Supporting a weaker faction in a conflict might not be advantageous for the King of Spain.
D) The British colonists did not want to promise to stay east of the Allegheny Mountains: This specific concern did not exist, as the question assumes. It is an incorrect option.
Therefore, the answer to question 1 is D) The British colonists did not want to promise to stay east of the Allegheny Mountains.
To get the answer to question 2, we need to consider the options:
A) the Louisiana border with Texas: This is not the main focus of Bernardo de Galvez's actions in the American Revolution.
B) Baton Rouge: While Bernardo de Galvez did attack and capture Baton Rouge, it was not the primary objective of his involvement.
C) New Orleans: This is the correct answer. Bernardo de Galvez entered the American Revolution to protect the city of New Orleans, which was a major colonial port.
D) the northern Mississippi River: Although the northern Mississippi River was strategically significant, it was not the primary goal of Bernardo de Galvez's actions.
Therefore, the answer to question 2 is C) New Orleans.
To find the answer to question 3, we can consider the options:
A) Fort Bute: There was no British fort by this name captured by the Spanish in the American Revolution.
B) Fort George: This is the correct answer. Fort George was the first British fort captured by the Spanish in the American Revolution.
C) Fort New Richmond: There is no historical record of a Fort New Richmond during the American Revolution.
D) Fort Panmure: Similarly, there is no evidence of a Fort Panmure being captured by the Spanish during the American Revolution.
Therefore, the answer to question 3 is B) Fort George.
