Answer 1

What effect would this image most likely have on American colonists?

The correct answer is letter D: By confirming the repressive actions of the British government, the image would increase the desire to rebel against it.

The population was obliged by the British Government to provide the British soldiers with housing and food while soldiers used to abuse and harassment American people. Promptly these attitudes would cause tensions between the inhabitants of the American Colonies and the British Government, then tensions increased, and this situation soon brought the American Revolution.
