Answer:
Because they’re in history books, of course they did something right
Explanation:
<em>A. They rejected Parliament’s right to manage their internal affairs.</em>
Explanation:
Following the French and Indian War, Great Britain decided to put taxes on the colonists. One of these tax laws was called the Stamp Act, which put taxes on printed items.
The colonists were not happy with these taxes and thought they were unfair, as they had nobody in the British Parliament to vouch for them, also known as "taxation without representation." Great Britain said they were actually taxing them fairly, as they needed to pay the debts for the French and Indian War and were providing the colonists with troops to protect them.
This caused tensions to rise between the colonists and Great Britain. The British colonial policies made the colonists start to want independence from Great Britain, as they felt everything they were doing was unfair. <u>They rejected the British Parliament's right to manage their internal affairs and essentially wanted to be left alone. </u>
Answer: It encouraged the U.S. to desegregate, because the Soviets claimed they supported equality for all people.
Explanation:
The United States kept claiming to be the beacon of democracy and equality around the world yet she was segregating against members of her own citizenry by keeping black people against from white people.
The Soviet Union always seized upon this to show the world that the U.S. was not actually equal and that the Soviet Union was more equal than the U.S. This was during the time of the Cold War and the U.S. did not like the fact that the Soviets held the moral high ground and so actively tried to end segregation.
