C is the answer to the question
The entire situation with the colonies revolting from British control wouldn't have happened without the Seven Years War (of which the section happening in the North American colonies is called the "French and Indian War").
The British only raised taxes, which is the thing that first upset the American Colonies, to pay down the debt from fighting that war.
The British wouldn't have been considering allowing the Catholic settlers from Canada to move into the Ohio Valley and to keep those from the American Colonies out if they hadn't won the war, since Canada would still have been French.
The American colonists would have had less grievances with the British for the way that the leadership of the British armies messed up in the Colonies if the war hadn't happened.
The American colonists wouldn't have had as many experienced combatants and leaders (Washington being a huge one that learned his skill in war fighting for the British) without the earlier war taking place.
This question is missing the options. I've found the complete question online. It is as follows:
Words and gestures people use to express thoughts, the monetary and credit system, even the architecture of some buildings were created before we were born. Indeed, these example show us that social facts __________.
a. do not originate with the people experiencing them.
b. live only within our conscious minds.
c. are rarely imposed upon us.
d. All of the above statements are TRUE regarding social facts.
Answer:
The correct answer is letter a. do not originate with the people experiencing them.
Explanation:
Social facts go beyond each individual. They are norms, traditions, rules, any type of collective and shared thought or idea that influences people's behaviors. When we are born, social facts are already imposed on us. We grow up learning how to behave according to what society considers to be appropriate. Social facts are found everywhere, even in the governmental system of our country, or the gestures people use to express their feelings. Therefore, they do no originate with us, the people who are experiencing them, but begin at a moment prior to ourselves.
Answer:
Explanation:
The French and Indian War was the North American conflict in a larger imperial war between Great Britain and France known as the Seven Years’ War. The French and Indian War began in 1754 and ended with the Treaty of Paris in 1763. The war provided Great Britain enormous territorial gains in North America, but disputes over subsequent frontier policy and paying the war’s expenses led to colonial discontent, and ultimately to the American Revolution.
Map from the French and Indian War
The French and Indian War resulted from ongoing frontier tensions in North America as both French and British imperial officials and colonists sought to extend each country’s sphere of influence in frontier regions. In North America, the war pitted France, French colonists, and their Native allies against Great Britain, the Anglo-American colonists, and the Iroquois Confederacy, which controlled most of upstate New York and parts of northern Pennsylvania. In 1753, prior to the outbreak of hostilities, Great Britain controlled the 13 colonies up to the Appalachian Mountains, but beyond lay New France, a very large, sparsely settled colony that stretched from Louisiana through the Mississippi Valley and Great Lakes to Canada. (See Incidents Leading up to the French and Indian War and Albany Plan)
The border between French and British possessions was not well defined, and one disputed territory was the upper Ohio River valley. The French had constructed a number of forts in this region in an attempt to strengthen their claim on the territory. British colonial forces, led by Lieutenant Colonel George Washington, attempted to expel the French in 1754, but were outnumbered and defeated by the French. When news of Washington’s failure reached British Prime Minister Thomas Pelham-Holles, Duke of Newcastle, he called for a quick undeclared retaliatory strike. However, his adversaries in the Cabinet outmaneuvered him by making the plans public, thus alerting the French Government and escalating a distant frontier skirmish into a full-scale war.
