Question

All of the statements below are historically accurate. Mark the item if the event it describes helped lead to war between Britain and the American colonists. A. Britain enacted the Stamp Act to put a tax on most printed material. B. British and American troops fought at Yorktown. C. British soldiers killed five colonists in what came to be called the Boston Massacre.

Answer 1

A and C are correct. The Stamp act, as well as some other acts, effectively taxed everty piece of document that had to be sent somewhere, which is something the colonists didn't want since they had no representation in the parliament. The Boston Massacre helped because it motivated many people to start supporting independence due to the cruelty of the British king and the British army that was shown during the Massacre.
