Answer:

The correct answer is A. England began to heavily tax the colonies to help pay for the French and Indian War.

Explanation:

Economically the French and Indian War was disastrous for both parties. Public debts in France and Great Britain threatened to bankrupt the Public Treasury. Both reacted by raising taxes enormously. The difference was that Great Britain applied them to the American colonists and France, having lost their colonies had to tax the lives of their citizens. The taxes on the tea trade and the Stamp Act were notable, and were one of the reasons for dissatisfaction on the part of the settlers, which originated the American Revolution and the subsequent independence of the United States.

Answer:

The Iroquois people lived in longhouses. Longhouses were large wood-frame buildings covered with sheets of elm bark. The Iroquois of today live in modern houses and apartment buildings. In fact, the Iroquois consisted of five tribes prior to European colonization. Their society serves as an outstanding example of political and military organization, complex lifestyle, and an elevated role of women. The Iroquois religious beliefs are centered on an omniscient 'Great Spirit', who they believe is also their creator. They are strong proponents of anthropomorphism or animated nature and seasons. Many Iroquois are followers of Christianity.
