1. To determine which of the following emerged as a strong leader and organizer of colonial protests and public support, we need to analyze the choices.
a. Crispus Attucks: Crispus Attucks was an African American who was killed in the Boston Massacre. While he played a significant role in the protests, he did not emerge as a strong leader and organizer of colonial protests and public support.
b. John Adams: John Adams was a prominent figure during the American Revolution and later became the second president of the United States. While he was involved in the protests and supported the cause of independence, he may not be the correct answer as the question specifically mentions a strong leader and organizer.
c. Samuel Adams: Samuel Adams is the correct answer. He was a vocal advocate for colonial rights and played a crucial role in organizing protests and gaining public support. He was one of the founding members of the Sons of Liberty and actively worked towards mobilizing resistance against British policies.
d. George Greenville: George Greenville was a British politician who served as the Prime Minister of Great Britain from 1763 to 1765. He implemented several policies that contributed to the growing resistance in the American colonies, but he cannot be considered a strong leader and organizer of colonial protests and public support.
Therefore, the answer is c. Samuel Adams.
2. To understand why colonists opposed writs of assistance, we can analyze the choices.
a. They thought it limited their access to land: This answer is not correct as writs of assistance were not directly related to limiting access to land.
b. They thought it violated their rights: This is the correct answer. Writs of assistance were general search warrants that allowed British officials to search any location without a specific reason or evidence of wrongdoing. The colonists saw this as a violation of their rights to privacy and protection against arbitrary searches.
c. They thought it unfairly taxed goods and services they produced: This choice is not directly related to writs of assistance. The issue of unfair taxation is more closely tied to the Stamp Act and other taxes imposed by the British government.
d. They thought it gave Native Americans an advantage over trade: This answer is not directly related to writs of assistance. The issue of Native American trade and relations is separate from the colonists' opposition to writs of assistance.
Therefore, the answer is b. They thought it violated their rights.
3. To identify which of the following was designed to keep the colonists from moving into the Ohio River Valley, let's analyze the choices.
a. Pontiac's Proclamation: Pontiac's Proclamation was issued by Native American leader Pontiac in 1763 and aimed to limit British expansion into Native American territory after the French and Indian War. It did not specifically target the colonists' movement into the Ohio River Valley.
b. Stamp Act: The Stamp Act was a tax imposed on various printed materials in the colonies. It did not directly restrict the colonists' movement into the Ohio River Valley.
c. Proclamation of 1763: This is the correct answer. The Proclamation of 1763 was issued by the British government after the French and Indian War and prohibited the colonists from moving westward beyond the Appalachian Mountains and into the Ohio River Valley. It aimed to avoid conflicts with Native American tribes and maintain control over western territories.
d. Townshend Acts: The Townshend Acts were a series of acts passed by the British Parliament in 1767, imposing taxes on goods imported into the colonies. They did not specifically restrict movement into the Ohio River Valley.
Therefore, the answer is c. Proclamation of 1763.
