Describe the American road to independence (the sequence of events leading to independence), stating how we went from the end of the French and Indian war to battling Great Britain, to outright war, and then to independence.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

In 1763, few would have predicted that by 1776 a revolution would be unfolding in British America.

The ingredients of discontent seemed lacking — at least on the surface. The colonies were not in a state of economic crisis; on the contrary, they were relatively prosperous. Unlike the Irish, no groups of American citizens were clamoring for freedom from England based on national identity. KING GEORGE III was not particularly despotic — surely not to the degree his predecessors of the previous century had been.

Furthermore, the colonies were not unified. Benjamin Franklin discovered this quite clearly when he devised the ALBANY PLAN OF UNION in 1754. This plan, under the slogan "Join, or Die," would have brought the colonial rivals together to meet the common threat of the French and Indians. Much to Franklin's chagrin, this plan was soundly defeated.

Commentary on the danger of disunity

Ben Franklin sketched this cartoon to illustrate the urgency of his 1754 Albany Plan of Union. He unsuccessfully tried to bring the colonies together to defend themselves against Indian and French threats.

How, then, in a few short years did everything change? What happened to make the American colonists, most of whom thought of themselves as English subjects, want to break the ties that bound them to their forebears? What forces led the men and women in the 13 different colonies to set aside their differences and unanimously declare their independence?

Much happened between the years of 1763 and 1776. The colonists felt unfairly taxed, watched over like children, and ignored in their attempts to address grievances. Religious issues rose to the surface, political ideals crystallized, and, as always, economics were the essence of many debates.

For their part, the British found the colonists unwilling to pay their fair share for the administration of the Empire. After all, citizens residing in England paid more in taxes than was asked of any American during the entire time of crisis.

Boston Massacre

The 1770 Boston Massacre was only one in a series of events that led American colonists to revolt against Britain.

This was not the first time American colonists found themselves in dispute with Great Britain. But this time the cooler heads did not prevail. Every action by one side brought an equally strong response from the other. The events during these important years created sharp divisions among the English people, among the colonists themselves, and between the English and the Colonists.

Over time, the geographic distance between England and the colonies became more and more noticeable. It took England time to respond to Colonial provocations and to administer the settled areas of America. Further, some now questioned how it could be that a tiny island nation could contain and rule the American continent.

Before long, the point of no return was reached.

Why did the United States want more land from the Native Americans?(1 point) A. for meatpacking B. for cattle C. for oil D. for settlers. Please pick one and don't make up random stuff no explanation needed!!!

Answers

Answer : D

Explanation : I believe it is D because the United States needed more territory to expand for the settlers that already lived there

The United States wanted more land from Native Americans in order to make settlements for settlers.

Who are Native Americans?

Native Americans are the Indigenous peoples of the mainland United States, including Indigenous peoples of Hawaii, Alaska, and territories of the United States. They are known by other terms like American Indians, First Americans, Indigenous Americans etc.

The United States wanted more land from the Native Americans in order to settle its growing population, as well as the people coming from Europe to settle there.

Europeans had heard a lot of the new world i.e. the United States of America and wanted to settle there. So, they were moving to the United States of America in droves.

The United States of America also wanted its people, i.e. with whom it had an affinity or felt affiliated with, to populate the land. Thus, it forced the native indigenous population out of its land and gave that land to the settlers.

Hence, Option (D) is correct.

how can we reduce wildfires ( 10 sentences)

Okay I’m done water down the street from the store and then I’m going downhill again so fast and I see how it turned down fast enough

There are many steps we can take to reduce wildfires. First off we can be safe when we are camping, by keeping a bucket of water nearby and always putting out our campfire when we are not around. Second we can work on pollution. By decreasing our emissions we are lessening the effects of global warming therefore making fires less frequent. Third is to keep flammable objects away from fire. Fourth is to never throw cigarretes out of your car. Not only is this littering but it can light up grass and actually cause a wildfire to start. Fifth is to be responsible when using things like fireworks, or other explosives. When used in the incorrect way these things can easily become dangerous and cause fires. It is seen on the news often when baby gender reveals go awry. These are five steps that you can take to reduce wildfires.

What is the effect of, Beginning in the 17th century, France explored the Mississippi River valley and established scattered settlements in the region. (PLEASE HELP ITS FOR A ROUGH DRAFT AND ITS WAS DUE 4 DAYS AGO ALSO ITS 100% OF MY GRADE SO PLEASE HELP)

Answers

Explanation:

The Louisiana Purchase of 1803 brought into the United States about 828,000 square miles of territory from France, thereby doubling the size of the young republic. What was known at the time as the Louisiana Territory stretched from the Mississippi River in the east to the Rocky Mountains in the west and from the Gulf of Mexico in the south to the Canadian border in the north. Part or all of 15 states were eventually created from the land deal, which is considered one of the most important achievements of Thomas Jefferson’s presidency.

France in the New World

Beginning in the 17th century, France explored the Mississippi River valley and established scattered settlements in the region.

By the middle of the 18th century, France controlled more of the present-day United States than any other European power: from New Orleans northeast to the Great Lakes and northwest to modern-day Montana.

In 1762, during the French and Indian War, France ceded French Louisiana west of the Mississippi River to Spain and in 1763 transferred nearly all of its remaining North American holdings to Great Britain. Spain, no longer a dominant European power, did little to develop Louisiana during the next three decades.

Louisiana Territory Changes Hands

In 1796, Spain allied itself with France, leading Britain to use its powerful navy to cut off Spain from America. And in 1801, Spain signed a secret treaty with France to return the Louisiana Territory to France.

Reports of the retrocession caused considerable unease in the United States. Since the late 1780s, Americans had been moving westward into the Ohio River and Tennessee River valleys, and these settlers were highly dependent on free access to the Mississippi River and the strategic port of New Orleans.

U.S. officials feared that France, resurgent under the leadership of Napoleon Bonaparte, would soon seek to dominate the Mississippi River and access to the Gulf of Mexico. In a letter to U.S. minister to France Robert Livingston, President Thomas Jefferson stated, “The day that France takes possession of New Orleans…we must marry ourselves to the British fleet and nation.”

Livingston was ordered to negotiate with French Finance Minister Barbé-Marbois for the purchase of New Orleans.
