Answer:

In April 1775, the "shots heard around the world" were fired at Lexington and Concord. The shots were the result of colonial tension toward the acts passed by the British government. The colonial militia was victorious at Lexington and Concord. Delegates to the Second Continental Congress assembled in Philadelphia three weeks after the battles at Lexington and Concord. The Congress selected John Hancock as its president. Hancock was one of the richest colonists. He used his wealth to fund the Sons of Liberty in his home state of Massachusetts. The Congress also selected George Washington as the commander of the Continental Army. In an attempt to avoid a full-scale war, the Congress sent King George the Olive Branch Petition. In it, the colonists asked the King to protect their rights and told the King that they wanted peace. King George rejected their petition and began preparing for war.

What resources most directly led to the development of early civilizations in river valleys?

anygoal [31]

The first civilizations that we have knowledge of developed in the valleys of major rivers: the Nile (Egypt), the Tigris and the Euphrates (Mesopotamia), the Yellow River (China) and the Indus River (India).

These civilizations developed in the valleys of rivers because this environment provided them with various vital resources. A constant and reliable source of water was needed for the development of agriculture, which allowed them to sustain large populations. Agriculture also flourished due to the fertile soil that tends to surround river valleys. The rivers also worked as a highway, allowing them to develop trade and facilitating the exchange of information.
