Answer:

The colonists objected to the monopoly on tea and the import duty (tariff).

Explanation:

In 1776, the United States gained independence by signing a declaration on July 4 that freed the 13 colonies from English rule. England overcame France in the Seven Years War (1756 - 1763), but, faced with the high costs of maintaining the conquered territories, imposed a series of tributes on the American colony. Among them, the Sugar Law (Stamp duty on sugar not coming from the English Antilles), Seal Law (all documents originating in the colony, such as contracts, newspapers and trades, would receive a seal from the English crown) and Law of the Tea (the settlers could only buy tea monopolized by the Company of the East Indies, of the English merchants). Faced with all these laws, revolts have arisen. One of them, against the Tea Law, was the "Boston tea party."

Well, from among the choices given your answer is going to be B. This is because the British had been taxing people and taking tea and selling it. So everyone threw it overboard as a sign of rebellion.

In the American, Enlightenment thought led to an attack on

adelina 88 [10]

The Enlightenment led American colonists to attack their system of government that saw the British have absolute power.

The Enlightenment led to the American Revolution which saw the American colonists secede from Britain. It happened because:

The Enlightenment showed that a government that was not acting in the interests of the governed could be removed
The Enlightenment showed that a government's power should be limited unlike that of the British

In adhering to Enlightenment principles, the American colonists went to war with the British and defeated them.

We can therefore conclude that the Enlightenment led Americans to attack the British and its flawed system of government.

What were causes of sectionalism?

Leto [7]

The correct answers are A) economic differences, B) the presidential election of 1860, D) social differences, and E) the issue of slavery.

<em>The following were causes of sectionalism: A) economic differences, the presidential election of 1860, social differences, and the issue of slavery.</em>

Sectionalism divided the United States into many forms. It confronted American people on a variety of issues that ended up in a bloody Civil War. The presidential election of 1860 divided the nation. Republican candidate Abraham Lincoln defeated Democratic candidate Stephen A Douglass, and Constitutional Union candidate Jhon Bell. There were many economic differences that divided poor people that tried to make a living with the wealthier people. This created social differences that were notorious and showed the lack of basic things that many people had. And of course, slavery, the issue that divided the North against the South. The Northern states supported desegregation laws while in the South they were against desegregation. For the Southern states, slavery was the base of the economy in the farm fields.
