Answer:
B. Historian A wants to make the colonists appear in a negative light by suggesting that they did not really believe in freedom for all.
Explanation:
The whole point of the American Revolution is that the colonists wanted to overthrow the oppressive British government who was imposing more and more taxes on them. Historian A believed that the American colonists were wrong in starting the Revolution, because they were 1) well protected by the British, and that 2) they do not act on what they want.
For example, the American Revolution was basically the 13 Colonies trying to win freedom from the "oppressive" United Kingdom. However, the historian points out that while they themselves know how it feels like to be under oppression, they do not think of their slaves as those who, like them, wanted freedom. This is a "looking-down" view, and the slaves should have been freed at the end of the Revolutionary War. This proves that the US citizens did not believe of "freedom & rights for all", but rather, only for white males.

Answer:
a return to conditions as they were prior to the war.
Answer:
The right answer is: 1. Strong social opposition to the war. 2. President Richard Nixon´s desire to get reelected.
Explanation:
In the 1960s, a peace movement was born and developed into a formidable social and political force. Opposition to war in Vietnam was massive, and it effectively put pressure on US decision-makers and the course of the conflict. Besides, president Nixon wanted to fulfill his promise to sign a face-saving peace "with honor". Nixon wanted to win reelection in 1972, he calculated that getting a peace deal with the Communist Northern Vietnamese would help him achieve that goal.
