hy so much conflict occurred in Boston? A) The king wanted to control Boston because the wealthiest colonists lived there.
B) The British did not like Boston because most colonists there did not own slaves.
C) The people of Boston were taxed by the king, while Southern colonies were not.
D) The king was enforcing more policies in Boston as an example to all the colonies.
The king was enforcing more policies in Boston as an example to all the colonies, is the right answer.
The British monarchy imposed heavy taxes on its colonies in the Americas. Tensions grow high in Boston in the early phase of the 1770s as more than 2,000 soldiers from Britain entered the area to enforce the tax legislation such as the Stamp and the Townshend Acts. In response to this, the American colonists rebelled against the new taxes and gave the slogan "No taxation without representation.” The main reason why this much conflicts occurred in Boston was that the king was making more orders in Boston to set an example for other colonies.
<span>Okay, as I read the history, the Stamp Act and the Townshend Acts were both intended to tax the colonies to help Britain pay off it's debts from the War. The Declaration did not impose any new taxes, but justified making the colonies more dependent on the Crown/British government, so I interpret that as "justification" for the taxes. It's not a word that was used at the time, but our interpretation of it in our own time.(The answer is D) Your welcome!</span>
One of the most important innovations of the British Agricultural Revolution was the development of the Norfolk four-course rotation, which greatly increased crop and livestock yields by improving soil fertility and reducing fallow.
