Answer:

The correct answer is A. Fighting began in Lexington and Concord when British troops came to arrest colonial leaders and take colonial weapons.

Explanation:

After the dissolution of the Boston Assembly in Boston by the British, it continued to secretly meet in Concord as a provincial congress. They decided the province would create a militia of 12,000 men, of which a quarter would be so-called minutemen, soldiers who could be ready at very short notice. It was also decided to purchase twenty field guns, four mortars, twenty tons of ammunition for the artillery and five thousand muskets and bayonets.

After taking control of Boston, the British commander, Thomas Gage, proposed that the Revolutionary Committees be broken up and that all radical leaders be arrested and brought to trial in London for treason. The political establishment in London walked Gage's line and gave him free hands to continue inland and arrest the leaders of the riots in Boston and "those who destroyed the tea". In the spring of 1775, the decision was made to arrest the revolutionaries Samuel Adams and John Hancock. When it became widely known, they took refuge in Lexington. In Concord there was also a cache that Gage wanted to confiscate. To find out how strong the rebels were around Lexington and Concord, Gage sent out two spies who would travel from Boston to Concord disguised as workers. One was quickly revealed, but the other reported back that even if the British were to march out with ten thousand regular soldiers with artillery, not a single one would come back alive. Gage did not think the resistance would be so great. On the morning of April 19, he sent a squad of 800 men to arrest Adams and Hancock and seize the weapons stockpile.

It was during the night of April 19 that Paul Revere made his famous ride to ward off the rebels. Revere signaled that the British troops made their way across the Charles River by lighting two lanterns in the bell tower at Old North Church in Boston. He then rode with the warning from Charlestown to Lexington and Concord.

What impact did mongol rule have on Russia
myrzilka [38]

Explanation:

During that time, the Mongol system was to place Vassal princes who were expected to pay tribute to the Mongols for the privilege of holding their own kingdom (Roy 8). The result was harsh rule that turned most Russians into serfs and destroyed the Russian economy, most importantly in regard to trade (Hopkik 12).

Despite the drama of the summer, atticus win an unopposed re-election to the state legislature in the fall. give two possible me

Nice to get a question about the classic novel, "To Kill a Mockingbird," here in the history section of Brainly!

Atticus Finch is a central character in the book. He was a lawyer in Maycomb, Alabama (which is not an actual Alabama town in real life).  He also served as a representative in the state legislature.  Atticus was appointed to serve as defense attorney for Tom Robinson, a black man who had been accused of raping a white woman.  Atticus provided strong evidence that Tom Robinson was innocent, but the jury convicted him as guilty nonetheless.  The trial created much controversy.  And then, Robinson tried to escape from prison, and was shot and killed.  That was the "drama of the summer."

As far as Atticus Finch being reelected to the legislature in the fall, Scout (Atticus Finch's daughter and narrator of the novel) decides the reason is because people are just plain weird.  But other answers might be that if he was running unopposed, no one else wanted the responsibility of that job.  And it was clear that Finch was a highly educated man of strong character and principles, so he was well qualified to serve as an elected official.  He was a prominent figure in Maycomb, from a family whose roots went back to the town's beginnings.
