Question

The colonists used word-of-mouth and printing to share the events leading to the Declaration of Independence; today we could use technologies such as e-mail to accomplish this task. True False

Answer 1

The correct answer is True

Explanation:

During the period of colonization in America (from the 16th century to the 18th century in most territories), communication was mainly limited to print or written documents such as newspapers and letters, as well as, word-of-mouth communication. Due to this, important events including those related to the Declaration of Independence were communicated in these two ways.

This would not occur nowadays because the development of communication has expanded the possible mediums for communication. Indeed, nowadays this information could be sent using e-mail or spread through social media. According to this, the answer is True.
