What act of treason was committed by the continental congress?

1 answer:

3 0

The American delegates pleaded with George III to attempt peaceful resolution and declared their loyalty to the Crown. The King refused to receive this petition and instead declared the colonies to be in a state of rebellion in August. Insult turned to injury when George ordered the hiring of HESSIAN mercenaries to bring the colonists under control. Americans now felt less and less like their English brethren. How could their fellow citizens order a band of ruthless, foreign goons? The moderate voice in the Continental Congress was dealt a serious blow.

<span>As the seasons changed and hostilities continued, cries for independence grew stronger. The men in Philadelphia were now wanted for treason.

They continued to govern and hope against hope that all would end well.</span>

The colossal heads are the most recognized symbol of the Mayan culture. True or False

kupik [55]

Answer:

FALSE

Explanation:

The colossal heads are large basalt carvings in the form of human heads. These sculptures were built by the Olmec civilization, which lived in southern Mexico about 900 years before Christ. The sculptures were found by archaeologists and were buried in the region of Mesoamerica. Therefore, the sculptures have no relation with the Mayan civilization. The Mayan civilization lived in the Andes, where today is Peru.
