C is correct. Your teacher is way too easy.
Thanks BOB
You are correct! The correct answer is C.) American colonists fought the British at the Battles of Lexington and Concord.
To arrive at this answer, we can eliminate options A, B, and D as they do not accurately reflect the beginning of the American Revolutionary War.
A. The French and Indian War, known as the Seven Years' War, occurred before the American Revolutionary War and was a conflict primarily between Great Britain and France over territorial claims in North America.
B. Although the Founding Fathers played a crucial role in the American Revolutionary War, the writing of the Constitution happened years later, following the end of the war.
D. The signing of the Treaty of Paris came after the American Revolutionary War ended. The Treaty, signed in 1783, acknowledged the independence of the United States from Britain.
Therefore, the only option remaining is C, which states that American colonists fought the British at the Battles of Lexington and Concord. These battles, which took place in April 1775, marked the beginning of the armed conflict between British forces and American revolutionaries, leading to the start of the American Revolutionary War.
