There are three:

Coercive acts: Four British acts of 1774 meant to chastise Massachusetts for the destruction of three shiploads of tea. Known in America as the Intolerable Acts, they led to open revolt in the northern colonies.

Townshend act of 1767: British law that recognized new duties on tea, glass, lead, paper and painters' colors imported into the colonies. Townshend duties led to boycotts and intensified tensions between Britain and American colonies.

Taxation without representation: They had Virtual Representation, which was not representation at all.The statement made by British politicians that the interests of the American colonists were sufficiently represented in Parliament by merchants who dealt with the colonies and by absentee landlords (mostly sugar planters) who owned estate in the West Indies.

Brrunno [24]

Answer:

The French and Indian War directly influenced the subsequent American Revolution. This war, fought between 1756 and 1763, was the North American scenario of the Seven Years' War, which took place in Europe and in which France and Great Britain faced each other.

In America, the French were supported by various native tribes, and the battle territory was the Ohio River Valley. Both powers disputed the colonial territories of the North American continent, and in 1763, with the British victory, Canada became part of the British Empire. Furthermore, the French threat to the Thirteen Colonies was neutralized.

Although the colonists had been the main combatants, the British decided that the expenses of the war should be covered by the colonies themselves and not by Great Britain, since these had benefited from the defeat of France, so the Parliament passed a series of laws imposing taxes and fees on the colonies, which had no legislative representation in London. This led to a series of protests and mobilizations seeking to roll back these measures, but they were not heard.

This situation worsened with the Boston Tea Party and the subsequent sanction of the Coercitive Acts, until in 1775, in the midst of the British occupation of Boston, the American Revolutionary War began.

How did the women's march mark a turning point in the relationship between the king and the people? The king and queens exit that was demanded by the rioting French women that they leave Versailles and return to Pairs signaled the change of power and radical reforms about to overtake France.

Write a paragraph of at least 125 words that considers why D.W. Griffith's movie, Birth of a Nation, was so controversial.​
Burka [1]

Answer: “Birth of a Nation”—D. W. Griffith’s disgustingly racist yet titanically original 1915 feature—back to the fore. The movie, set mainly in a South Carolina town before and after the Civil War, depicts slavery in a halcyon light, presents blacks as good for little but subservient labor, and shows them, during Reconstruction, to have been goaded by the Radical Republicans into asserting an abusive dominion over Southern whites. It depicts freedmen as interested, above all, in intermarriage, indulging in legally sanctioned excess and vengeful violence mainly to coerce white women into sexual relations. It shows Southern whites forming the Ku Klux Klan to defend themselves against such abominations and to spur the “Aryan” cause overall. The movie asserts that the white-sheet-clad death squad served justice summarily and that, by denying blacks the right to vote and keeping them generally apart and subordinate, it restored order and civilization to the South.

“Birth of a Nation,” which runs more than three hours, was sold as a sensation and became one; it was shown at gala screenings, with expensive tickets. It was also the subject of protest by civil-rights organizations and critiques by clergymen and editorialists, and for good reason: “Birth of a Nation” proved horrifically effective at sparking violence against blacks in many cities. Given these circumstances, it’s hard to understand why Griffith’s film merits anything but a place in the dustbin of history, as an abomination worthy solely of autopsy in the study of social and aesthetic pathology.
