Answer:

Parliament, outraged by the Boston Tea Party and other blatant acts of destruction of British property, enacted the Coercive Acts, also known as the Intolerable Acts, in 1774. The Coercive Acts closed Boston to merchant shipping, established formal British military rule in Massachusetts, made British officials immune to criminal prosecution in America, and required colonists to quarter British troops. The colonists subsequently called the first Continental Congress to consider a united American resistance to the British. on July 4, 1776, the Second Continental Congress officially adopted the Declaration of Independence. Five years later, in October 1781, British General Charles Lord Cornwallis surrendered to American and French forces at Yorktown, Virginia, bringing to an end the last major battle of the Revolution. With the signing of the Treaty of Paris with Britain in 1783, the United States formally became a free and independent nation.

How did the decision in brown vs board of education change the role of the government in public education
SOVA2 [1]
Before Brown v. Board of Education, public schools could remain segregated based on race as long as the educational opportunities remained equal. Brown v. Board of Education ruled the "separate but equal" idea to be unconstitutional and unequal. This was the beginning of the end of racial segregation in schools. Hope this helped!
