History
1 answer:
Furkat [3]3 years ago
4 0
Though the exact details of his life and expeditions are the subject of debate, John Cabot (or Giovanni Cabot, as he was known in Italian) may have developed the idea of sailing westward to reach the riches of Asia while working for a Venetian merchant. By the late 1490s, he was living in England, and gained a commission from King Henry VII to make an expedition across the northern Atlantic. He sailed from Bristol in May 1497 and made landfall in late June. The exact site of Cabot’s landing has not been definitively established; it may have been located in Newfoundland, Cape Breton Island or southern Labrador. After returning to England to report his success, Cabot departed on a second expedition in mid-1498, but is thought to have perished in a shipwreck en route.

prisoha [69]

D) Provide a written justification for the separation of the colonies from England

Explanation:

The declaration of Independence is most important document in the history of US. It was ratified by the second continental congress on July 4, 1776. It declares that they are seceding form the Britain and the thirteen colonies are forming a new country. Prior to the declaration US wasn't a country. All the sates were British colony, the Parliament of Great Britain and the King were the ruler of these colonies.

At that time the British wanted the colonies to pay for themselves, the Townsend acts were enacted to pay for the salaries of judges and governors. These acts were series of laws for the American colonies and passed by the British. It took away the freedom of colonists and also imposed new taxes on them.

The British thought that the colonists would accept the new taxes. But it angered the colonists and pushed them towards revolution.  

Due to these taxes  and no representation in the parliament they didn't feel loyal towards the mother country. The colonists responded against the intolerable acts by forming continental congress that would take all the decisions for the colonies. The congress met twice in Philadelphia and during the Second Continental Congress they chose five people a document that would later be known as Declaration of Independence. These five people were Benjamin Franklin, John Adams, Robert R. Livingston, Roger Sherman and Thomas Jefferson,
