The following were the causes of the French and Indian war
the British tricked the French and Native Americans into fighting against each other
the British and the French both wanted control of the Ohio River valley
the French and the Native Americans both wanted to control the gold trade
Native Americans wanted to protect their land and resources from outsiders
The correct answers are:
1. The British and the French both wanted control of the Ohio River valley.
2. Native Americans wanted to protect their land and resources from outsiders.
The French and Indian War (1754-1763) was mainly fought between the British and the French, with Native American tribes forming alliances with either side. The British and the French both desired control of the Ohio River valley region, which was rich in resources and served as a key transportation route. Native American tribes had their own interests in protecting their lands and resources from European colonization. While there may have been instances of manipulation and political maneuvering, it is not accurate to say that the British tricked the French and Native Americans into fighting against each other, or that the French and Native Americans both specifically wanted to control the gold trade.
According to which country had control of the region before the outbreak of the French and Indian war
France
both Britain and France
Before the outbreak of the French and Indian War, the region in question, particularly the Ohio River valley, was mainly controlled by France. France established a vast colonial empire in North America, including significant territories in the Mississippi River valley and along the Great Lakes. This control was challenged by British claims and settlements in the region, leading to increased tensions and eventually sparking the war. Therefore, the region was primarily under the control of France prior to the conflict.
Fill in the blank after the end of the French and Indian war the British government issued the_______ of 1763 to keep colonists from settling the native american land in the west
After the end of the French and Indian War, the British government issued the Proclamation of 1763 to keep colonists from settling Native American lands in the west. The Proclamation was an attempt to establish peace with Native American tribes and avoid conflicts between colonists and indigenous peoples. It drew a line along the Appalachian Mountains beyond which colonial settlement was prohibited. The Proclamation aimed to control westward expansion and maintain British control over the newly acquired territories from the French. However, it was largely ignored by colonists who were eager to expand their settlements, contributing to further tension between the British government and the colonists leading up to the American Revolution.
Fill in the blank after the end of the French and Indian war the British government issued the_______ of 1763 to keep colonists from settling the native american land in the west
proclamation
settlement
reservation
border
After the end of the French and Indian War, the British government issued the Proclamation of 1763 to keep colonists from settling Native American land in the west. The Proclamation aimed to establish boundaries and reserves for Native American tribes in order to maintain peace and prevent conflict between settlers and indigenous peoples. It restricted colonial settlement beyond the Appalachian Mountains and required settlers to obtain permission from the British government to move westward. The Proclamation was an attempt to exert control over westward expansion and protect Native American territories from encroachment by colonists.
How did the British Justify passing new taxes on the colonists?
British citizens living in England also faced increased taxes because of the French and Indian war
Britain had spent money protecting colonists from the French during the French and Indian war
the colonist should pay to replace ships damaged by smugglers
the taxes were being used to pay back the colonists for their lost wages during the French and Indian war
The British government justified passing new taxes on the colonists through several reasons:
1. British citizens living in England also faced increased taxes because of the French and Indian War: The British argued that the burden of taxes was being shared evenly and that the colonists should contribute their fair share to help cover the costs of the war.
2. Britain had spent money protecting colonists from the French during the French and Indian War: The British government claimed that it had incurred significant expenses in defending the American colonies from French and Native American attacks, and thus the colonists should help repay those costs through taxation.
3. The colonists should pay to replace ships damaged by smugglers: The British argued that the increased taxes were necessary to fund the upkeep of a stronger naval presence in the colonies to combat smuggling, which was a prevalent issue at the time.
It is important to note that these justifications were viewed differently by the colonists, who felt that they should have had representation in the decision-making process and that the taxes were unjust without their consent. This dispute over taxation without representation eventually played a significant role in the events leading up to the American Revolution.
so what is the answer
Based on the provided options, the answer is:
The British government justified passing new taxes on the colonists by arguing that British citizens living in England also faced increased taxes because of the French and Indian War. They believed that the burden of taxation should be shared and that the colonists should contribute their fair share to cover the costs of the war.
Colonist book steps to convince England to repel some of the laws passed by England without their consent match the description of those actions below
civil disobedience
petition
boycott
boycott
committees of correspondence
The actions that match the description you provided are:
1. Petition: Colonists would write formal petitions outlining their grievances and demands to the British government, seeking redress and the repeal of certain laws.
2. Boycott: Colonists engaged in boycotts, refusing to purchase British goods or participate in certain economic activities as a form of protest against the unjust laws. This aimed to put economic pressure on the British government.
3. Committees of Correspondence: Colonists established committees of correspondence to communicate and coordinate with other colonies, sharing information, organizing protests, and formulating strategies to challenge British policies collectively.
Civil disobedience, although not mentioned in your description, is also another relevant action taken by colonists. It involved intentionally breaking or defying laws or regulations deemed unjust by the colonists, such as acts of defiance like the Boston Tea Party or refusing to comply with certain British regulations.
It's worth noting that there seems to be a repetition of "boycott" in your list, so it might be a typographical error.
Which event directly sparked the Boston massacre
a crowd of british troops dared the colonist to shoot them
colonists spread negative propaganda about british troops
a british soldier standing guard fired at colonists during an argument
an African American sailor shot and wounded a British soldier
The event directly sparking the Boston Massacre was: "a British soldier standing guard fired at colonists during an argument."
On March 5, 1770, tensions were high between the colonists and British soldiers stationed in Boston due to ongoing conflicts and grievances. An argument emerged between a British soldier and a group of colonists, resulting in a growing crowd and heightened emotions. At some point, a soldier fired his musket, leading to other soldiers also firing into the crowd. This tragic incident resulted in the deaths of five colonists, including Crispus Attucks, an African American sailor, and the wounding of several others. The event further intensified anti-British sentiment and fueled colonial resistance against British rule.
why were Colonel Minutemen so prepared for the arrival of the red coats near concord (select two)
native American scouts supporting the Colonel caused scouted the britsh arrival
two lamps were hung as a signal that the British were crossing the river on a faster route to concord
messengers on horseback including Paul Revere warned colonists along their route to concord
British spies snuck information to the colonists that the British military was arriving
Two reasons why the Colonel Minutemen were prepared for the arrival of the Red Coats near Concord are:
1. Messengers on horseback, including Paul Revere, warned colonists along their route to Concord: This is one significant factor that helped spread the word quickly about the approaching British soldiers. These messengers alerted the colonists, allowing them time to prepare and assemble their forces.
2. Two lamps were hung as a signal that the British were crossing the river on a faster route to Concord: This is known as the famous "one if by land, two if by sea" signal that Paul Revere used to warn the colonists. The hanging of the two lamps alerted the Minutemen that the British were advancing via the water route instead of the land, enabling them to adjust their preparedness accordingly.
How did the colonists use geography of the region to their advantage against the British
Columbus new the land better than the British and could attack the British in the countryside
colonists had the support of loyalists to help them prepare attacks
colonists were highly trained and experienced
the colonial army was far from home
The correct answer is: The colonial army was far from home.
The colonists used the geography of the region to their advantage by fighting a defensive and guerrilla-style warfare. They knew the local terrain and were able to utilize it effectively. They employed tactics such as ambushes, hit-and-run attacks, and the ability to blend in with the local population, making it difficult for the British to engage in traditional, large-scale battles. The distance between the British forces and their supply lines allowed the colonists to maintain a prolonged conflict and wear down the enemy over time. This familiarity with the local geography and the strategic advantage it provided played a significant role in the colonists' ability to resist and eventually win the American Revolutionary War.
bot is not correct!!!!
Apologies for the confusion. I understand the importance of providing accurate information. Here is a revised response:
The colonists used the geography of the region to their advantage against the British in several ways:
1. Familiarity with the land: The colonists had an intimate knowledge of the local terrain, which allowed them to navigate and hide effectively. They used their understanding of the area to launch surprise attacks, engage in guerrilla warfare, and seek cover when necessary.
2. Defensive positioning: The colonists often took advantage of natural defensive positions, such as hills, forests, and rivers, to fortify their positions and make it challenging for the British to attack them directly. These defensive positions provided them with protection and allowed them to hold their ground more effectively.
3. Utilizing wilderness and long supply lines: The vast and often inhospitable wilderness in certain regions made it difficult for the British troops, who were more accustomed to traditional European warfare, to maneuver effectively. Additionally, the long supply lines for the British meant that their communication and resupply were often slower, giving the colonists more time to prepare and react.
4. Support from local populations: The colonists had the advantage of receiving support from local communities who were familiar with the area. This assistance helped provide intelligence, shelter, supplies, and potential recruits for the colonial army.
These factors collectively allowed the colonists to capitalize on the geography of the region and use it to their advantage during the American Revolutionary War.
