History
1 answer:
Marina CMI [18]3 years ago
4 0

Answers:

After a day of demonstrations against pass laws, a crowd of about 7,000 protesters went to the police station. The South African Police opened fire on the crowd, killing 69 people and injuring 180 others. Sources disagree as to the behaviour of the crowd; some state that the crowd was peaceful, while others state that the crowd had been hurling stones at the police, and that the shooting started when the crowd started advancing toward the fence around the police station. There were 249 casualties in total, including 29 children. Many were shot in the back as they fled.

The Stamp Act was passed in 1774 as punishment for the Boston Tea Party. The Stamp Act shut down Boston Harbor. True False
Alinara [238K]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

The Boston Tea party was an American protest initiated by the Sons of Liberty in Boston Harbor, 1773.

The Stamp act of 1765 was a taxation law enacted by congress with the intention to profit off of colonial taxation.

The Stamp act of 1765 was not a repercussion of the Boston Tea party but rather a benefactor of the Boston Tea party. The Stamp Act and many other  taxations imposed by the British parliament seemed unfair to the American colonists; they felt they had no voice or opinion due to there being no colonist representatives in parliament. Naturally, they revolted (The Boston tea party) in defiance against taxations. The Boston tea party had an enormous impact spreading feelings of patriotism and independence nationwide, ultimately sparking the American Revolution.

I hope this clears things up.
