I believe the answer is England? because that was the year the Norman Conquest was led by William the Conqueror.
In 1860, you could only go as far west Omaha, Nebraska.
By 1774, the year leading up to the Revolutionary War, trouble was brewing in America. Parliament (England's Congress) had been passing laws placing taxes on the colonists in America. There had been the Sugar Act in 1764, the Stamp Act the following year, and a variety of other laws that were meant to get money from the colonists for Great Britain. The colonists did not like these laws.
Great Britain was passing these laws because of the French and Indian War, which had ended in 1763. That war, which had been fought in North America, left Great Britain with a huge debt that had to be paid. Parliament said it had fought the long and costly war to protect its American subjects from the powerful French in Canada. Parliament said it was right to tax the American colonists to help pay the bills for the war
Most Americans disagreed. They believed that England had fought the expensive war mostly to strengthen its empire and increase its wealth, not to benefit its American subjects. Also, Parliament was elected by people living in England, and the colonists felt that lawmakers living in England could not understand the colonists' needs. The colonists felt that since they did not take part in voting for members of Parliament in England they were not represented in Parliament. So Parliament did not have the right to take their money by imposing taxes. "No taxation without representation" became the American rallying cry.
Answer:
D) Washington chose the site because it allowed him to defend the Continental Congress which was then meeting in York, Pennsylvania following the British capture of Philadelphia.
Explanation:
During the winter of 1777, General George Washington and 12,000 poorly-fed, ill-equipped Continental soldiers suffered through starvation, disease, and exposure at their winter camp at Valley Forge, Pennsylvania. By the end of February 1778, over 2,500 of his men had died. which is the BEST explanation for why Washington selected Valley Forge as the location for his army's winter camp?
Washington chose the site because it allowed him to defend the Continental Congress which was then meeting in York, Pennsylvania following the British capture of Philadelphia and though no battle was fought at Valley Forge, it was the turning point of the Revolutionary War, this site provide advance notice of any attack against his troop.
