Because it was one of the biggest ''Massacres'' that ever happened. Also if youve looked at the photo the red coats used guns and knives while the pariots used only axes, picth forks and anything they can get their hands on. Especially since, more than half of the people died on the patriot side than the red coats.

To gain support for the revolutionaries. The story was exaggerated, but the American people bought it. It was used as a recruitment/propaganda campaign to turn as many people against the British occupation as possible.

How was the high worth of cash crops MOST connected with Southern farm owners' decision to use slaves?

alexdok [17]

The value of cash crops influenced Southern farmers decision to use slaves because of the cost of slaves. During the 18th and first half of the 19th century, slaves were considered property. This meant that they could be bought and sold. With this mind, it was cheaper to buy and own slaves in comparison to using another type of labor system like indentured servitude. This is because indentured servants were only worked for the farm owner for 4-7 years. Whereas in slaves could be kept indefinitely.

Answer:

The United States, like most modern nations, is neither a pure republic nor a pure democracy. Instead, it is a hybrid democratic republic. The main difference between a democracy and a republic is the extent to which the people control the process of making laws under each form of government.
