17. Why was the Tea Act created? How did the colonists react to it

1 answer:

5 0

The tea act was created because the East India Company's tea wasn't being bought and was losing money. The East India Company made England money so England took the tax on tea off from theirs while other merchants who sold tea still had to pay tax. This allowed the East India Company to sell their tea for less and got more people to but their tea. This angered Patriots because they still had no say in government and everyone else still had to pay the tax for tea which made less people buy the regular tea because it would cost more.

“We desire you will hear and receive what we have now told you, and that you will open a good ear and listen to what we are now

sammy [17]

The American colonists were eager to keep the Native American nations out of the mix when it came to the war with the British. The Native Americans could have looked at this as an opportunity to cause trouble for the white colonists and take advantage of the situation. Or the colonists could have looked at the Native American nations as potential allies and made promises to them if they assisted in the war effort. But the colonists appealed to native nations with a message of friendship -- not asking them to join in war against Britain, but also that they not act against the colonists' cause.

The quoted speech, by the way, was addressed to these Native American nations: <span>Mohawks, Oneidas, Tusscaroras, Onondagas, Cayugas, and Senekas.</span>

Why was the stamp act implemented?

erica [24]

Answer:

Explanation:Paying for the War The French and Indian War was fought between the British American colonies and the French, who had allied with the American Indians. It lasted from 1754 to 1763. The American colonies eventually won the war, but only with the help of the British army. The British government felt that the colonies should share in the expense of the war and help to pay for the British troops in the Americas. The Stamp Act of 1765 was a tax to help the British pay for the French and Indian War. The British felt they were well justified in charging this tax because the colonies were receiving the benefit of the British troops and needed to help pay for the expense. The colonists didn't feel the same.

The Childrens Crusades

The Second Crusade

The Crusades Begin

In 1212, poverty was so great that it was known as the children's crusade. Two 12 year old boys, by the names of Nicholas of cologne, and Stephen of cloyes, claimed that they had received a message from God, telling them to fight and retake the Holy land. They both began to spread their message, gaining followers in both France and Germany. With the total number of people from both groups, their numbers reached into the thousands. Sadly, neither group was able to reach the Holy land.

The Crusades continued over the past 100 years. European lords slaved to keep control over the crusader states, such as Edessa. The Holy Order of Knights fought back when a crusader stare was charged against. Emperor Conrad III ad King Luis VII were the two powerful monarchs associated. They desired to overtake Damascus instead of defending Edessa so the plan was unsuccessful and the majority of crusaders went home. The crusaders who remained defended Jerusalem.

Peter the Hermit, a French monk, created an unorganized army consisting of peasants and soldiers in 1096. Peter and his army created a People's Crusade. Being the special speaker he is, Peter motivated people to fight against the Muslims for the Holy land. Sadly, the People's Crusade was unsuccessful and almost all the crusaders were murdered by Turkish soldiers.

11192 AD

Fifth and Sixth Crusades

1097 AD

A skillful army was constructed by merging the French, German, Italian, and Belgium armies by 1097. Since the army achieved a number of more about 30,000 soldiers, they created a powerful force. Any lands defeated would be given to the Byzantine Empire as the Pope promised.

For a year, Kind Richard kept trying to obtain control of Jerusalem, but yet Jerusalem, never fell. King Richard just decided to create another idea instead. During this time, he started forming a connection with his enemy, Saladin. He never broke through, even after multiple tries at Jerusalem. He did end up making an agreement with Saladin, which was Christians could enter the Holy land and see their shrines.

The Fifth crusade was directed by Kind Andrew II of Hungary, it was a complete failure. First he went to the Holy land and after going to Egypt, his effort was unorganized. The sixth crusade was directed by Frederick II of the Holy Roman Empire, he gains back the power of Jerusalem.

The Fourth Crusade

The Seventh Crusade

The First Crusade

The fourth crusade appears to have not so much power supporting it. With the French Knights leading it, in 1202 they started out for the Holy land. While getting side tracked on their way there by the Venetian Lords who convinced them to take over the Eastern Orthodox church in Constantinople instead of retaking the Holy land.The pope being a Roman Christian Orthodox and not a Greek Orthodox ruler, that meant he was selfish to rule another Christian land. When Constantinople was underneath Roman Orthodox's rule, they finally lost the ability to control it to the Muslims.

King Louis IX of France guided two more journeys, which was put together as the seventh crusade. This crusade was unsuccessful to make any regional gains. The final stronghold of the Christendom on the Holy land, Acre, collapsed to the Mamluk Empire in 1291

The first crusade was set off by brothers Godfrey and Baldwin of Bouillon. Baldwin created the first Crusader state at Edessa. The crusaders captured Anitach after a long siege. August 1098 the crusaders finally reached Jerusalem. Godfrey died, so Baldwin became the first kind of the Christain kingdom of Jerusalem.

What characteristics did many of the battle sites have in common, revolution war

Zolol [24]

Answer:

The American colonists owed their military successes to the tactics of revolutionary war they used - tactics whose elements were borrowed from the Indians and from the inhabitants of the forefront of the settlements and the border. This tactic is a tactics of loose battle, tactics of the struggle of the armed people - was widely used in the American War of Independence.

On April 9, 1775, not far from Boston, Concord and Lexington experienced the first skirmishes, and the British suffered heavy losses during the fighting. At first, the advantages were on the side of the British, but the rebels soon switched to guerrilla warfare tactics, setting up ambushes and attacks. Near Boston, a “freedom camp” was formed, where armed volunteers flocked.
