B. Britain enacted the Stamp Act to put a tax on most printed material.

C. British soldiers killed five colonists in what came to be called the Boston Massacre.

Explanation:

  • The Boston Massacre, the famous clash of English soldiers and American patriots on Monday, March 5, 1770, leads to the American Revolution.
  • Tensions between citizens and soldiers over Boston's military occupation were heightened when soldiers began firing at a group of civilians. John Adams later said that America was founded on the night of the Boston massacre.
  • Various decisions by the English authorities have led to discontent among the people.
  • One unpopular measure was to pay taxes on everything, even tea. In protest in 1773, American colonists climbed aboard English ships in Boston. The ship's shipments of tea were thrown overboard.
  • This event, known as the Boston Tea Party, marked the beginning of the fight for independence.

15 different facts on the Weapons of the Revolutionary War.
Novosadov [1.4K]

Answer:

At the end of the musket most soldiers had a bayonet attached. A bayonet was a sharp pointed metal blade around 17 inches long. The bayonet turned the musket into a spear that could be used to charge and gore an enemy. British soldiers were especially skilled fighters with the bayonet.

Cannon

Both sides used a variety of artillery (large guns) during the war. Cannons could be made somewhat mobile when they were mounted on large wheels. They fired solid shells, exploding shells, and grapeshot. Cannons were effective in destroying fortifications or sinking ships. Sometimes cannons were fired strait at a line of approaching enemy troops tearing right through them and stopping their charge.

The smooth-bore muskets of the Revolutionary War were not very accurate and could not reliably hit a target beyond 100 yards. It took the average soldier around 15 to 20 seconds to load the musket allowing him to fire 3 to 4 shots a minute.

Brown Bess and Bayonet

Source: American Military History:

Volume 1

The weapons and battle tactics used by both sides during the Revolutionary War were consistent with those used by European armies for the previous 15 or so years. Both sides used similar weapons and fought using similar tactics.

Muskets

The primary weapon used by both sides was the musket. The most popular type of musket was the British made Brown Bess. The Brown Bess had a smooth bore and was loaded through the muzzle. Another popular musket was the Charleville made by the French. It was similar to the Brown Bess.

Rifles were also used during the Revolutionary War. Rifles were more accurate than muskets, but took a lot longer time to load. Cavalry (soldiers on horseback) used pistols and sabers to fight with as they were easier to use while riding a horse. Soldiers often carried knives or small hatchets, but these were rarely used in major battles.
