5. ? What did South Carolina have a surplus of?
1. Yes, you are correct. The Townshend Acts were a series of laws passed by the British government in 1767. These acts imposed taxes on imported goods such as tea, glass, paper, and paint. They were named after Charles Townshend, the Chancellor of the Exchequer who proposed them.
2. The answer to this question is D. South Carolina was less affected by a number of British laws and was permitted to continue to trade its staple rice crop. Unlike many other colonies, South Carolina was allowed to continue trading its main agricultural crop, rice, which was a valuable commodity. This exemption from certain British laws contributed to less anti-British sentiment in South Carolina compared to other colonies.
3. No, your answer to question 3 is not correct. The correct answer is C. The colonial boycott on British goods did indeed impact the mother country by causing Great Britain to lose profits because its American colonies would not buy its goods. The boycott was a form of economic protest in which colonists refused to purchase or import British goods. This caused a decline in demand for British products, leading to financial losses for Great Britain.
4. The correct answer for this question is D. The merchants were having to pay higher taxes on the products they produced. British merchants did not argue for the repeal of tax laws due to having to pay higher taxes on the products they produced. They were more concerned with their ships being seized, losing profits due to the colonial boycott, and having storage facilities filled with unsold products.
5. The answer to this question is B. After the passage of the Intolerable Acts, South Carolinians helped Bostonians by sending them rice. Rice was a major crop in South Carolina, and it was sent as a form of support and aid for the people in Boston who were affected by the British government's harsh response to the Boston Tea Party. Sending ships, troops, and money were not mentioned as ways in which South Carolinians helped Bostonians.
