¨The use of this barbarous weapon at Hiroshima and Nagasaki was of no material assistance in our war against Japan. The Japanese

were already defeated and ready to surrender. . . . In being the first to use it, we . . . adopted an ethical standard common to the barbarians of the Dark Ages. I was not taught to make war in that fashion, and wars cannot be won by destroying women and children. . . . I voiced my grave misgiving, first on the basis of my belief that Japan was already defeated and that dropping the bomb was completely unnecessary and . . . I thought was no longer mandatory as a measure to save American lives. It was my belief that Japan was, at that very moment, seeking some way to surrender with a minimum loss of "face."

konstantin123 [22]

Answer: B

Explanation: The French and Indian war was mainly fighting for the land that the English were trying to take from the Native Americans (Indians). The Proclamation of 1763 was to divide the land so that both (now) neighboring ethnicity's could live in peace. The Salutary Neglect was a consequence of said Seven-Years War (French and Indian War). Because the war cause Britain to fall into a deep debt, they had to scrounge for the money to pay back the people that helped them. So, that's what led to the taxing, then eventually taxation without representation, then the Revolutionary War, where the colonies fought to break apart from their Mother Country (England/Britain).
