Answer: $101,197
Explanation:
First find the periodic interest rate for 6 months because the rate is per year.
= 0.25% / 2
= 0.125%
There are 2 semi annual periods in a year so in 10 years:
= 2 * 10
= 20 periods
Use future value of annuity formula:
= Amount * ((1 + rate)^periods - 1) / rate
= 5,000 * (( 1 + 0.125%) ²⁰ - 1) / 0.125%
= $101,196.45
= $101,197
It listed the reasons as to why they wanted to be independent of his rule, they felt that not only did he not know what was truly happening in the colonies he implemented laws without anyone representing them. Over time it grew to be too much and they declared independence.

The assumption of a national identity was slowed and even stopped in some places as different provinces again started to look out for their own interests and stood up to fight for them against anyone not willing to allow them that freedom.
