The correct answer is:
B. It took a while for the Continental Congress to decide whether they were fighting the British government for repeal of its new policies toward the colonies, or for complete independence from Britain.
Explanation:
<em>The American Revolution started as a protest to British policies</em>, mainly to the <em>Stamp Act of 1765</em>, where taxes where raised without representation and <u>the colonists, who saw themselves as Englishmen</u>, fought against these taxes with the allegation that they deserved the same rights as the Englishmen that lived in Britain; and formed <em>the Continental Congress to demand respect for their rights, while being loyal to the Crown</em>.
Colonists questioned if they should remained loyal or if they should seek independence, but it was until <em>Thomas Paine published Common Sense in 1776 </em>(a pamphlet that exposed the reasons why the 13 Colonies should be independent from Britain) when this question gained force and the <em>Continental Congress assigned Thomas Jefferson to write the Declaration of Independence</em>.
Answer:
Thanksgiving is a federal holiday in the United States, celebrated on the fourth Thursday of November.[1] It is sometimes called American Thanksgiving (outside the United States) to distinguish it from the Canadian holiday of the same name. It originated as a harvest festival, and to this day the centerpiece of Thanksgiving celebrations remains Thanksgiving dinner. The dinner traditionally consists of foods and dishes indigenous to the Americas, namely turkey, potatoes (usually mashed), stuffing, squash, corn (maize), green beans, cranberries (typically in sauce form), and pumpkin pie. Thanksgiving is regarded as being the beginning of the fall–winter holiday season, along with Christmas and the New Year, in American culture.
The event that Americans commonly call the "First Thanksgiving" was celebrated by the Pilgrims after their first harvest in the New World in October 1621.[2] This feast lasted three days, and—as recounted by attendee Edward Winslow—[3] was attended by 90 Native Americans and 53 Pilgrims.[4] The New England colonists were accustomed to regularly celebrating "thanksgivings," days of prayer thanking God for blessings such as military victory or the end of a drought.[5] Thanksgiving has been celebrated nationally on and off since 1789, with a proclamation by President George Washington after a request by Congress.[6] President Thomas Jefferson chose not to observe the holiday, and its celebration was intermittent until President Abraham Lincoln, in 1863, proclaimed a national day of "Thanksgiving and Praise to our beneficent Father who dwelleth in the Heavens", to be celebrated on the last Thursday in November.[7][8] On June 28, 1870, President Ulysses S. Grant signed into law the Holidays Act that made Thanksgiving a yearly appointed federal holiday in Washington D.C.[9][10][11] On January 6, 1885, an act by Congress made Thanksgiving, and other federal holidays, a paid holiday for all federal workers throughout the United States.[12] Under President Franklin D. Roosevelt, the date was moved to one week earlier, observed between 1939 and 1941 amid significant controversy. From 1942 onwards, Thanksgiving, by an act of Congress, signed into law by FDR, received a permanent observation date, the fourth Thursday in November, no longer at the discretion of the President.[13][14]

Answer: Lorraine Motel, Memphis, Tennessee
Explanation:
Assuming the King you are referring to is Martin Luther King Jr., he was fatally shot on April 4, 1968 at the Lorraine Motel in Memphis, Tennessee allegedly by James Earl Ray who spent the rest of his years in prison trying to convince the world that he did not do it.
It was not the first time that King had been targeted as he had been stabbed a decade earlier in 1958 and only barely survived but according to sources he knew he would be assassinated as he once remarked to his wife that JFK's fate would be his as well.
I’m pretty sure it’s a republic
