The correct answer is:

B. It took a while for the Continental Congress to decide whether they were fighting the British government for repeal of its new policies toward the colonies, or for complete independence from Britain.

Explanation:

<em>The American Revolution started as a protest to British policies</em>, mainly to the <em>Stamp Act of 1765</em>, where taxes where raised without representation and <u>the colonists, who saw themselves as Englishmen</u>, fought against these taxes with the allegation that they deserved the same rights as the Englishmen that lived in Britain; and formed <em>the Continental Congress to demand respect for their rights, while being loyal to the Crown</em>.

Colonists questioned if they should remained loyal or if they should seek independence, but it was until <em>Thomas Paine published Common Sense in 1776 </em>(a pamphlet that exposed the reasons why the 13 Colonies should be independent from Britain) when this question gained force and the <em>Continental Congress assigned Thomas Jefferson to write the Declaration of Independence</em>.

Answer:

Explanation:

The Los Angeles flood of 1938 was one of the largest floods in the history of Los Angeles, Orange, and Riverside Counties in southern California. The flood was caused by two Pacific storms that swept across the Los Angeles Basin in February-March 1938 and generated almost one year's worth of precipitation in just a few days. Between 113–115 people were killed by the flooding.[1] The Los Angeles, San Gabriel and Santa Ana Rivers burst their banks, inundating much of the coastal plain, the San Fernando and San Gabriel Valleys, and the Inland Empire. Flood control structures spared parts of Los Angeles County from destruction, while Orange and Riverside Counties experienced more damage.[1]

The flood of 1938 is considered a 50-year flood.[2] It caused $78 million of damage ($1.42 billion in 2019 dollars),[2] making it one of the costliest natural disasters in Los Angeles' history.[3] In response to the floods, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and other agencies began to channelize local streams in concrete, and built many new flood control dams and debris basins. These works have been instrumental in protecting Southern California from subsequent flooding events, such as in 1969 and 2005, which both had a larger volume than the 1938 flood.[3]
