Answer:

The Tea Act of 1773 was one of several measures imposed on the American colonists by the heavily indebted British government in the decade leading up to the American Revolutionary War (1775-83). The act’s main purpose was not to raise revenue from the colonies but to bail out the floundering East India Company, a key actor in the British economy. The British government granted the company a monopoly on the importation and sale of tea in the colonies. The colonists had never accepted the constitutionality of the duty on tea, and the Tea Act rekindled their opposition to it. Their resistance culminated in the Boston Tea Party on December 16, 1773, in which colonists boarded East India Company ships and dumped their loads of tea overboard. Parliament responded with a series of harsh measures intended to stifle colonial resistance to British rule; two years later the war began.

Considering the gap in ages, I think parenting three generations were tough. They have different influences and understanding of society. Baby boomers became more adaptive of the situation through experience. As parents, they have learned much of the individualities both similarities and differences through experience. 
Technology became a bridge for the three generations. Facebook had become successful of getting the Baby Boomers. On a national level, the use of common websites is an ordinary routine for the three.

Did our country lose its ideals of freedom and liberty during the Cold War? Explain

ohaa [14]

Answer: In a way, yes

Explanation:

The Cold War was a period of extreme tension for both countries involved, for they were on the constant lookout for each other’s actions and decisions. Fear of a nuclear attack seeped into the nation with ease and this caused people to live in constant anxiety, for no one really knew when and if war would break out. Freedom and liberty can be presented in many ways, and in this case, people’s freedom from fear and anxiousness was taken away. The government had to keep constant monitoring and this also took away privacy, so that’s a lil extra to it.
