Zolol [24]3 years ago

A hyperbole is an exgrarrted statement. This is common in poetry, fairytales, and folklore because most of the times these stories are made to entertain and not be literal. Some Examples:
My garden is as big as a football field.
<span>I am so hungry I could eat a horse
.I had a ton of chores to do.
<span>If I can't get a Smartphone, I will die.</span></span>

List at least one of the Acts that the British instituted over the American colonists
ankoles [38]

<em>The Stamp Act of 1765.</em>

Explanation:

The Stamp Act was the tax that got put on the colonists by Great Britain, this made it so the colonists had to pay taxes on certain types of paper products, like newspapers.

This act was put on the colonists in 1765 and they did not agree with it at all. Many colonists were outraged by this and thought it was unfair that they were being taxed. They felt as if they had no say in what they were being taxed in and they had no colonists in British Parliament that could help plead their case, this is known as "taxation without representation." Great Britain said they needed the money from the colonists in order to pay for the French and Indian War, which was expensive, and they had British troops protecting the colonists. The colonists didn't agree with Great Britain and how they were trying to justify taxing them.

Over time, the colonists started to boycott the merchants and businesses that were selling goods that were stamped by the Stamp Act. They even went as far as threatening the merchants that were selling them and burning many goods. Great Britain realized that many British merchants and businesses were being harmed and essentially nobody was buying the stamped products. They ended up repealing the Stamp Act of 1765 after all of the outrage from the colonists.

was the trial of tears necessary to advance civilization as president Jackson said, or a cruel injustice to the cherokee
kaheart [24]
This would depend on your beliefs. Personally, I believe it was a cruel injustice to the Cherokee, and that the Trail of Tears was nowhere near necessary to advance civilization. However, this question is asking for your point of view on the matter. Using the information you have learned, reflect on the event and come to your own conclusion. Hope this helped! ^.^
