Explanation:

It is important to note that by this time in Roman history, nearly every emperor following Alexander was deified by the Senate as standard practice. In reality, only a very few were not deified up to this point (Tiberius, Caligula, Nero, Commodus and various usurpers).

In late summer of 1781, Washington’s troops trapped Cornwallis’s army at _____.

Setler [38]

I would not say, "late summer", because Siege of Yorktown initial movements started on September 28th and British troops surrender led by Lieutenant General Charles Cornwallis happened on October 19, 1781, at Yorktown, Virginia. Franco-American commanders were General George Washington and Jean-Baptiste Donatien de Vimeur, Comte de Rochambeau. Siege of Yorktown was the last major land battle of the American Revolutionary War, as the surrender by Cornwallis, and the capture of his army, prompted the British government to negotiate an end to the conflict. After the British surrender, Washington sent Tench Tilghman to report the victory to Congress. The Treaty of Paris was signed on September 3, 1783, formally ending the war.

What was the tea of act

vazorg [7]

Answer:

The Tea Act of 1773 was one of several measures imposed on the American colonists by the heavily indebted British government in the decade leading up to the American Revolutionary War (1775-83). The act’s main purpose was not to raise revenue from the colonies but to bail out the floundering East India Company, a key actor in the British economy. The British government granted the company a monopoly on the importation and sale of tea in the colonies. The colonists had never accepted the constitutionality of the duty on tea, and the Tea Act rekindled their opposition to it. Their resistance culminated in the Boston Tea Party on December 16, 1773, in which colonists boarded East India Company ships and dumped their loads of tea overboard. Parliament responded with a series of harsh measures intended to stifle colonial resistance to British rule; two years later the war began.
