In 1763 the British Parliament passed a law saying the colonists couldn't go past the Appalachian Mountains which is one thing I know, but I'm not sure of the others.
Many of the British people responded to the news of the Battle of Yorktown with acceptance. They accepted the American and French aided defeat. They were tired of the long, drawn out war with the American colonies and wanted to focus on India and the West Indies.
The British King however, was not ready to accept defeat but Parliament no longer was willing to support the war with America.
Answer: A. Ways a person can become a US citizen.
Further detail:
- Anyone born within the borders of the United States is considered a US citizen by birth. This is even true if the parents of the child born in the US are not citizens. Being born on US soil is a way a child is considered a US citizen. This has become a matter of some contention in recent years, as some opponents of illegal immigration accuse immigrants of coming across the border to have a baby just so that baby can have US citizenship.
- If either of a set of parents are US citizens, a child born to those parents is also a US citizen, even if you were born in a foreign country. So if parents are stationed overseas or traveling, and a birth occurs outside the United States, that child still has US citizenship.
- For those not citizens by being born on US soil or to a US citizen parent, applying to become a naturalized citizen is the path for pursuing citizenship. On the USA.gov website, you can find a full desciption of "How to Apply for US Citizenship" and the naturalization process.
